Sigma macro 105mm 2.8 older lens manual needed

I have a Sigma EX 105mm macro 2.8 older lens for Canon cameras, which I haven’t used for several years. It is not the EX DG OS HSM, but is the much older model. I would very much like to find a user manual but have not had any luck, including from Sigma directly.
If anyone has this manual, I would certainly appreciate a chance to see it.

Ummm, usually lense manuals actually tell you very little. Do you have an operational question?

There is usually nothing useful in a manual for such a simple lens .

Normally there isn't much need for lens manual. Since your lens is a marco so possible there is a focus range limiter feature or something like that you may need a clarification from the manual.

KEH used to be a decent source for manuals, especially for older equipment. I bought several from them when they had their storefront in Dallas. Not sure what their current situation might be, but would suggest giving them a call to check.

Nice try. This is the model OP says that he DOES NOT have.

The focus limiter IS what I need to know more about. Guess I’ll keep practicing. Appreciate your comment.

Are you familiar with focus limit ranges generally? If not we can explain their use.

I have been reading up on the focus limiter so have a better idea of its use now. Any specific website you might recommend would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your help.
