for a straight lever clamp, you might look at the 3 Legged Thing Switch Clamp. They run about $80ea and are very well built.

Thus the humorous suggestion that Sigma lenses must smell nice.


I do like that new lens smell!

I may trade/sell my Tamron 150-600 G2 and get a Sigma or Tamron 70-200 which would be more practical for me. Because of my age and arthritis I rarely use the Tamron 150-600.


I have the new Sig 70-200 Sport. Be aware-it is a heavy lens. Wonderfully sharp, though.

Interesting. Why would that happen only with non-Canon lenses and sporadically and then constantly?

That I couldn't tell you, but I assume it's related to other settings buried in the menu. Without knowing which body this is occurring on, it's hard to research any further.

Has your camera recently come into contact from cameras from the liberal media?

That did the trick. But it begs many other questions, like why non-Canon lenses only, why when formerly an occasional problem and now a constant one, and why, since I haven't recently changed that setting, did it all of a sudden become a problem????


Glad it worked out. As to the other questions, I'm sure there are other menu settings that contributed to the behavior that you experienced. The only way to know which settings will take take time with the camera and manual. You can always do a reset of the menu settings to re-start at "ground zero". This, sometimes, is not bad to do after a situation like this. The menu structure is pretty deep on a majority of the Canon line(don't know which model you shoot), and it's easy to "lose" a setting change and not be able to find it.

Disabling the "AF point display" should be retro-active, so you should be able to tell without taking any other pictures.

Obviously, you are shooting a Canon body, if you have Canon lenses. Go into the menu to the blue area, and look for "AF point display". See if that is enabled. Normally that doesn't transfer to the computer, unless selected in the computer software to be displayed. Try disabling this function in the camera and see if it goes away.

here's a link to a "how to" guide that canon put out on this subject-it's applicable to any camera capable of autofocus micro adjustment:

I have the constant aperture model for canon EF mount, and love it. The image quality is excellent, and the color and contrast really nice as well. For $329, you can't go wrong. I also got mine on sale a couple of years ago(not at $329), and thought it would be a nice, occasional use lens-I use the thing more that I ever thought I would.

try pushing the "info" button-it'll scroll you through the different info screens. Accidently hitting this button will give you a dark screen.

this is the reason that Canon has a way to prevent a crop lens(EF-S) from being mounted to a full frame(EF) body-the image projected from a crop lens will not cover a full frame sensor.

you are wrong there-the crop factor is developed to explain the "apparent magnification" that occurs when a full frame image is projected on a crop frame frame sensor, which is "cropped" because the image is larger than the sensor. A Sigma DC, Canon EF-S, and other manufacturer "crop lenses", only project an image that is sized for the sensor-this is why they are called "crop sensor lenses".

Use it on my 80D, so it is equivalent to 15-35mm on full frame sensor. I think you got an excellent deal.


NO-It is not. This is a "DC" series lens that is designed for a crop sensor camera.

I've had the straight f/3.5 model for a couple of years, now, and love it. I've been using it on a pair of canon 7dmkII's, and find I use way more than I thought I would. It's really nice having that wide angle range on a crop sensor-it is a crop lens, so the previous comment about the crop factor is null and void.
