How much do they charge for rechipping? I have a old Sigma 70-300mm APO Macro I'm interested to send for upgrading

huh? 70-300 got problem meh? upgrading? what do you want to upgrade to? while still under warranty, the 70-200 was rechipped for free. apparently some earlier batches needed the rechip because of compatibility with D70. now it works great. problem was sometimes when the cammie goes into 'sleep' mode, the lens doesn't 'wake up' and gives the F-- error.

ah. that is quite normal for that 70-300. was using that lens too. seems fine in bright environment. needs lots of light it seems.

Hope this help:
By bus
1. If u r coming from town direction and towards old HDB Centre, u'd pass Bt Merah Centre, the library, SPRING, and some JTC factories. ecentre@redhill is after JTC. Alight at the bus stop after the traffic light and walk back to ecentre.
2.If u r coming from Queensway Shopping Centre and towards Redhill, u'd pass safra, stretch of HDB blks and the new CPIB. Alight immediately after traffic light and CPIB, cross the road to Pacific Tech Centre. ecentre is next to PacTech on the left.
By car
1. Turn in after JTC
2. U-turn at SPRING junction

Try this

Cheers

Going down there tomorrow afternoon
