[QUOTE="jwstl, post: 179620, member: 12977"] Me too. I find this "mount conversion" announcement to be great sounding PR but less than valuable in practice. First, it's not actually free. The fees will be $80-$250 per lens plus shipping. It only applies to the new series of lenses. This isn't that big of deal but would be nice if it covered older lenses which are less expensive. And it only covers the original purchaser. There goes the ability to buy used and have it converted. So in essence, if you buy one of their new lenses and someday decide to switch camera brands you have the ability to have your lenses converted. I agree it's nice to have the option and that combined with the fine quality of their new lenses might result in more sales but I really don't see this as something I or many people will use. Still, it is there if you need it. More info here: [url]http://www.sigmaphoto.com/service-support#service[/url] [/QUOTE]
