Hey Colin,


There is no reason to apologize. Until the OP follows up with us this none of us will be able to give ckw the answer she's looking for. We all have a dendency to assume what the situation is. How else would we have a basis for offering an opinion. I do understand theangle you are coming from. I use to build dioramas. I also had a summer job with a prop makerso I have a general idea that scalemodels can get rather large,from room size if it is a city layout to theatre stage size for set props and scenes.That is why I made the comments I did. My intent was hopefully to get the OP re-engaged and as you are trying to do also, help her find a solution. My intent was not to correct you or your suggestion and if I came across that way then obviously, Istill need to work harder on personal diplomacy when it comes to posting my views. Alot of my response had to do with DB's post on race cars......[]That wasthe motivation behind the test.


I just hope that ckw doesn't go spend money on a lens that she doesn't need. I still say the Sigma 17-70 should work fine. If it is under warranty, she should send it in to Sigma and have them fix it. That is the least expensive option. IMHO
