Hi Jonathon I like the 180, but will upgrade to the 180 2.8 as soon as it is available. The main reason being that it has got the Sigma coating virus .. the plastic coating is peeling off and every time I use it I look like an anemic leopard. More to the point, the bare metal is now exposed to the elements. No tubes ... too much like hard work if you are hand-holding. The shot is cropped but not actually that much Ed

When I used to work in the labs I had a similar problem in that my Sigma lenses used to 'depaint' very often. It seemed to stop after I left the labs. I was never sure if it wasnt the fact that my skin was absorbing reactive chemicals from the lab air and then these were excreted/concentrated in the sweat on my hands. Could never prove it but it was a thought I had.

OK that fits with my initial thought that it was to do with the ****tail of sun-block and insect repellent!

Only the non-bitey ones! I've already had treatment from reacting positive to tests for Lyme disease from a couple of ticks that I didn't notice until too late. Ed

Ouch, sorry to hear that Ed, seems to be an occupational hazard, Bjorn R¸rslett got Lyme disease pretty badly photographing in the wilds.

Yes we have to watch out for ticks here in Spain when we walk the dogs, as of course they can also bring them home.
