Good evening to all;
Speaking of AF lenses, I have a Sigma 28-70 AF zoom for trade. I am not really
familiar with this lens but it must select its own aperture since there is no
selector or scale. It has 3 electronic pins on the mount end and no real way
to conveniently manually focus. Someone make me a trade offer--50f1.8 or
focusing screen or ???
Best to all, Mike
