Hi 

I purchased a Sigma 18-300 and was wandering if anyone else has one. when I zoom and reach 35mm it becomes stiffer, then as soon as I get to 50mm it clicks then becomes much stiffer, then between 135 to 300 it seems lighter and more usable.

The Lens was purchased new in July and not used too much.

Thought before I get onto Sigma was thinking if anyone else could give me there thought's first.

Thanks in advance.

Only you know if it feels too bad and i dont want to talk you out of getting Sigma to look at it, these super zooms do some times have a position where a group of elements needs to move and it can feel odd.

If its a UK sigma lens you should have three years warranty on it.

I may pop into a photography shop and try one to see how it is to mine.
Bought from Amazon and got a 3+1 yr warranty. Just thought someone on here may have one to tell me if same experience before sending back.
