    question To Sigma 18-200 users

    Hi I wonder if the focusing have issues with the KM5D? For the Canon, I knew the issue is there, it keep focusing at the background on wide angle, that make to get correct focus, we must zoom, focus lock, then return to wide, then press the shutter. I wonder if in Minolta mount version...
