p.1 #1 · FS: PriceDrop 3X: Boxed Sigma 24-70 for Sony Alpha
One lenses for Sony Alpha or Minolta mount DSLRs
1) Sigma 24-70mm D (HF) 1:3.5-5.6 Aspherical
Glass is in great shape, aperture blades are oil free and snappy, AF works and is pretty fast. The external barrel is a bit scuffed but not too bad. All marking are easily readable! The hood also has a few scuffs and again not too bad.
Comes with: both caps,
original box,
original flower hood, and
manufacturer supplied documentation
- pretty much everything it sold new with.
Asking $75 (Was $115)
2) Sigma 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 DL Macro - SOLD
The Macro is a very nice 1:2 magnification ratio with a very respectable working distance of about 3 feet. The auto-focus works and is reasonably fast, the exterior if beautiful except a few very minor scuffs - only noticeable on close inspection and at a glance it looks like new, the glass is in good shape and scratch-free, there's a very minor haze detectable by shining a very bright torch through the lens but it's not enough to affect the images. The aperture blades are snappy and oil-free. Everything works!
Comes with: both caps,

Asking $65 if sold separately. _________ SOLD ________
The one on the right is the one still for sale. The build quality feels very rugged and is probablly why the exterior took such beating (compared to a mint condition model). I guess some foreman or contractor needed something good and also rugged to shoot his work or work site. He chose right IMO too, I'd pick this for that as well: Fast AF, Sharp, Very low distortion so lines stay straight even at 24mm, and good wide open so not too bad in low light at f/3.5!
It's also pretty great on the GH1 BTW! Everything is manually controllable when adapted; aperture, focus, zoom, etc. You pay $28 shipping I'll eat any pay-pal fees if you mark the send as gift.

Here's some test shots I took about an hour after I posted this sale - all hand-held.
All that follow below were not processed heavily even though a few appear as if they were. Several appear to have had the saturation boosted but that's just how it came out after white balancing. All received very slight sharpening prior to scaling 0.3 pixels, 30%. Basically these are how the raws looked when displayed in ACR with default settings.
First up the Sigma DL 70-300mm f/4 (Macro) at 70mm, 200mm, and 300mm all wide open from about 4m away from the focus point:

Here's the Sigma DL 70-300mm f/4 (Macro) at 300mm wide open in what I consider a harsh lighting test for CA, bloom, and flare (and of course it gets better if you stop it down a click or two!). The duck is almost a 100% crop - it was scaled to 97.x percent to make it exactly 1100 pixels across. The thinking man is also an extreme crop... about 75% tho.
