That lens is long discontinued. It's doubtful that Sigma would even touch it. If you tried it on a regular Sigma DSLR, you might have better luck. Unfortunately, you are likely stuck with manual focus.

Public Service Announcement.

I'd look at a Canon 5DSr.

Sigma doesn't even offer plain old extension tubes for the SA mount...

Just a few other random thoughts... I find the viewfiner on Sigma DSLR's to be not so good- certainly not good enough for me to do anything other than macro and using manual focus. Trying to judge ...

You would have to use a Sigma DSLR: SD1 (or SD1M) or earlier. Then, you will be relying on typically erratic performance of Sigma AF sensors. None of the Sigma DSLR's have live view. And the ...

The sdQ requires Global Vision lenses for the auto focus to function properly. Some older lenses, like the 100mm macro will function fine most of the time. Others, like the older 70-200 macro will not.

I sold the 50mm lens that I got with my first camera, an EOS 620.

Still have the camera, regret selling the lens.

It is not discontinued, yet. It has been offered at a reduced price for a while (over a year) at the Sigma USA website. The assumption is that there is a replacement Global Vision version in the works.

Interesting. Maybe I'll update mine. No love for the sdQ/H or any of the Merrill cameras though.

The drops don't look "sharp" on my end, and part of that may be the reduced file in the link, and in the browser process. Have you tried printing the image large, but as a poster spread over ...

You may want to reach out to Sigma Photo and send them an email.

Are you printing it from the link, or do you have the original file? There's no way that the link is a full resolution file (even a high quality JPEG)- it downloaded way too fast for me. Part of ...

That big auction site is probably your best bet. There is a for sale forum on this site. Then there are the used photo equipment places, like KEH. The best place would be from Sigma, if any are ...

The printer in and of itself is relatively inexpensive, but then there are all of the consumables. Just based on online comments, an Epson large format printer needs to be used daily or else it ...

Canon improved pano printing support in a firmware update to their PRO1000 printer. IIRC, it will do up to 45 inches or so- but check specs on your own if it's important to you.

I would suspect that there is something being lost in translation when making the big print. This would be the software used to scale up the print, whether it is the printer driver itself or some ...

Nice pictures. The Art version will actually autofocus on the sdQ, unlike the first version.

You can send the file to Shapeways. There are others.

You have to email them. Last I checked, the dust protectors were in stock, at least for the sdQ. This was before Covid-19. Sigma had me fill out a "parts request", then I was emailed back. I ...
