Indeed - that Sigma seems to be the base model.

Thanks

If old Sigma model that means for me unusable garbage. I disappointed about old Sigma lenses.

When we meet one day, I will bring and you can try my Sigma Theta 28-85 (M42). This is an amazing zoom lens. Of course, it does not get to where the best primes are, but it is much better than I expected.

I can say the same about my Sigma Delta zoom, actually. Stopped down it's amazing. The problem is that wide open it's unuseable because of vignetting. It becomes useable only from f/8.

Talking about that fish: yes. And you can't focus it because it's a fixed focus ...

Sorry Carsten If I say something wrong, I didn't want to hurt anybody , just I don't like much old Sigma products.
