Lenses

My beloved Sigma 18-125 has developed a problem. The focus ring/mechanism has become sticky. Very sticky. So sticky in fact, that I’m able to attach and remove the lens by holding the lens by the focussing ring, and the ring doesn’t budge.

That’s with the lens set to manual focus. Not good.

Remember that breath of fresh air I had, a while ago..?

Yesterday, I ventured out with the 350D. Yessir, I was actually in the open air… outside, with the Canon DSLR.

… amongst other things.
