If under warranty it's free for the first 2 calibrations that is...

Too bad my lens is second hand from taiwan. So no warranty

 

[NewbieInCS]

Calibration is $150.

 

[Diluted]

If I'm not wrong, its $150..
But you should check again with sigma..

Looks good, these photos. You sure a calibration is needed or is it because of movement when shooting @ f1.4?

Haha, actually i found no problem when i'm using it. Just 2 of friends tested and said this lens slightly f focus or b focus.
So Just asking for the price.

Another photo which taken by using Sigma 50 F1.4. really impressive for me.

The photo easy to get blur when i shoot at F1.4-F2.0. May be my skill not good enough.
For portrait, is hard for me to get the clear and sharp shoot at F1.4 & F1.8.

lol... i also wondering y my friends said so.
They tried shoot on the paper with word in 45 degree, its not focus on the focus point, run a little bit.
But so far, the lens is perfect for me.

Micro adjustment is available in 50D, 7D but not in 60D

Did realize 60D is missing these feature as well... Sigh...

That is why some people call the 60D a downgrade from the 50D.

The only accurate way to test AF accuracy is to use a focus test chart. This is because the actual Focus sensor may not be in the dead center of the af point in your viewfinder. Sometimes there are some off sets. Only with a focus test chart, you remove that possibility.
