honestly feel gutted ive never owned a lens that has condensation inside. i wonder how it got in there? unfortunately i bought the lens used and have no idea if the previous owner got the lens soaked or something

i wonder if sigma can fix something like this. i have insurance so i might use it if its an expensive fix

fronko,

I presume out in very cold conditions & brought the lens into a heated premises without allowing it to become slowly acclimatised to the warm air.

That could cause condensation in almost any lens. Put it in a warm area for a couple of days and should clear.
