I paid $50 to get my sigma looked at locally, and after a day they basically told me "we can't fix it, it'll cost us $250-$300 to fix it and we'll have to send it to sigma". So I believed them and thought I'd just keep my sigma as a low light video lens (stuck at F2.8).

Fastforward to now,
... I PM-ed Senna for advice because I wanted it fixed, he told me to call Sigma myself. I emailed Sigma and got a reply in about 12 hours. It is going to cost me $10 handling + $95 to get my lens fixed, and they'll cover any small parts necessary, I'll only have to pay for expensive parts (if needed).


The vancouver shop charged me $50 to look at it, and for another $250-$300 they were going to ship it to Sigma for me and pay exactly what I'd pay anyways. So they were going to charge me ~$300 for a $115 service. Talk about a profit margin. I'm pretty happy, with the money I saved I'll probably pick up a new camera bag and some batteries for my grip

Did you go to Vancomp? I was going to actually head there to get my sigma lens looked at... haha. Thanks for the headsup.
