Hi all - just a quick question.
I'm currently looking to get a 24-70 and 70-200 2.8. Thinking about different options, it seems that Sigma zoom rings are in the reverse direction from Canon.
Just wondering
1) Is this correct? One site indicated that >2008 sigma lenses were the same as Canon? Is it manual focus as well as zoom?
2) If so, does this bother you in use? I have read a few posts of people 'missing shots' because they are going from canon to sigma zooms e.g. shooting a wedding with 2 bodies, 1 canon 1 sigma.
Thanks!
