Ok, so I have once again neglected my blog.  I was out of circulation for a while due to some bad luck on my part. You see, most photographers have several lenses that they use interchangeably to take their shots. I too have several lenses, but I take 95% of my photos with one, my sigma 17-70mm. Unfortunately for me, I clumsily dropped both my camera and lens totally busting up the lens which bore the brunt of the fall. 

Not to worry I thought, let me just call up the Sigma service centre and get an estimate of repairs. This I did. The estimate - $200.00. Realizing that it was still half the value of the lens, I dutifully packed up my lens in the original packaging, went to DHL and shipped it to New York.

The persons I dealt with at the service department were quite pleasant. I spoke to a Japanese sounding gentleman who assured me that he would be working on the lens and that I would get back my lens in a jiffy. Because of the severity of the damage, the parts would have to be ordered from Japan. However, he told me that it would arrive in time for the lens to be repaired and shipped to me by the following week. Guess what?... so said, so done!

I now have my lens again and to celebrate I decided to go on my first outing ever with a group of photographers. I'll tell you how that went later.
