My 300mm motor is intermittently whining while focusing. Anyone have recommendations? I was thinking of sending it to ßigma, but wanted to know local experiences first.

Rick...if the lens is under warrantee...Sigma has a three year on all US lenses...send it back to them...that is what a local dealer will do also...

If it is out of warrantee take it to Professional Camera Repair...they have always done a great job for me...

Good Luck...

Rick,

When you go to Sigma's repair center page you have a couple of choices. I've had good service - and prompt service - from the company in Arizona.
