Sigma 105 macro FT

[sapper]

C/W end cap, lens cap and case. Good condition, hardly used, cannot remember last time I used it. Some cosmetic marks but no marks on glass.

Dave that's a strange surface finish, it almost looks etched. Never had a Sigma is that how they come?

Yes Phill, it is a dull grey finish. Not smooth and shiny.

They are almost a matt textured finish and seem to be very durable.
What i would say is that these are a great little lens and should be a welcome addition even to u4/3 because of the compact size!

Yes, I can also confirm that the Sigma surface finish is like a very very smooth emery paper. I assume it's a paint, as having once had a damaged barrel replaced by Sigma, the repair was in plain black plastic - unpainted.

While it attracts the dulling you see in the photos, it's a pretty robust finish - I don't see anything untoward in those images.
