From the archives taken with the SD14 and the 150-500 mm OS lens.

Enjoy!

Great shot with lots of details, Larryj.

Thanks for your kind comments Rudi: They are very much appreciated

BTW did you ever have the "freeze" problem with your SD14 ?

Rudi.

Yes I did have the "freeze" problem on a few occasions, but found that removing the battery and reinstalling it fixed the problem.

Hello Larryj,

many thanks for your reply. After I bought my SD14 and used it for about a week or so, I also recognized the "freezing" problem with the same symptomes you described.
A search in the SIGMA forum here was really helpful and effective. There was a gentleman from Finnland who had put up some pictures for a cure of the problem.
Tried it out and my SD14 still works how it is supposed to be, until today. Freezing is caused by bad ground connections on the memory board of the camera.

So here those pictures in case somebody wants to try an old SD14 and has problems with the camera freeze :
(Just took off the bottom plate and solder in a few 0,75mm flexible wires and the damned thing works pefectly.)

Additional wires, where the red lines are drawn.

May be someone can use it.

Rudi.
