So, off it went on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I got a letter saything that they&#8217;d received my lens and that they&#8217;d send out the replacement when new stocks arrived. I expected that I&#8217;d have to wait a couple of weeks, but no. To my surprise a parcel arrived this morning.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I do hope that this lens is actually usable. I&#8217;ll have to try it out over the weekend. Seeing that the weather looks fair, this shouldn&#8217;t be too much of a problem, other than having to do all those annoying household things such as mow the jungle and wash the kitchen floor.<\/p>\n<p>Well, fingers crossed anyway. Whatever happens I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll bother sending the lens back if it is defective. I&#8217;ll just take the loss and put it down to a bad buy. At least I did get a few reasonable shots out of the purchase which look O.K. when printed out on A4 and put on the wall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, after discovering that me repaired Sigma lens was defective I phoned up the company on Monday and they asked that I send the lens back and that they&#8217;d replace it with a copy of their latest version (which seems &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lingula.org.uk\/wordpress\/2006\/06\/09\/the-return-of-the-lens\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-random"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1Kvvs-iH","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lingula.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lingula.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lingula.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lingula.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lingula.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1159"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.lingula.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1159\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lingula.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lingula.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lingula.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
