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.

S

yes this causes condensation on the outside of the lens but never on the inside and ive been using different lenses for 20 plus years

the problems with this lens is when i take it outside. condensation appears inside the lens and takes a long time to clear or doesnt at all.

none of my other lenses do this.
