Can't you return items over there, if there is a problem? I had bought my Sigma from amazon and, given that I was not happy, I returned it and got a full refund, no questions asked. Most stores here would do that too.

No need to apologize at all; your English is fine! (and it's not my first language either!)

PS Is it possible to somwhow send me a private message through the forum? I can point you to some of the shots I had taken with the soft Sigma to give you examples of what to look out for... I don't want to publish the link in case all my bandwidth disappears...
