About two weeks ago I "found" it in a moving box upstairs while looking for something else and there it was. I took it out and remembered the "good times" we had together!
I brought it down stairs and started to look for a repair service here in Sweden.
I mailed to several addresses I had found on the net and had immediate answer from one.
He was so friendly to provide an address I could send it to, only to see if it was worth repairing it and to get an estimate.
So I packed it up the same day and mailed it. It took about one week till I got an e-mail from the repair service and the estimate was included.
It was only 85 Euros!!!
Yesterday, only 2 !!! weeks later I got my lens back. IT WORKS!!!
Its not the best lens when it comes to the aperture, but under nice weather and light conditions it is fantastic.

Time to go to the beach! With the dogs and with the camera!!! :))
Lovely story and lovely pictures. Yes, it's heartbreaking when we break one of our favorite pieces of equipment. It's so good you were able to have it repaired. I'm looking forward to those beach pictures.

I'd say it works! That's a beautiful photo. And the Header photo is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWow that is a beautiful header! Nice pic from your lens too. So nice to find out it could be fixed!
ReplyDelete...beautiful capture! I've just recently started taking photos with a macro lens and I love it. There's so much to see up close...
ReplyDeleteThank you my friends!
ReplyDeleteThe Sigma lens 20-300 is a great all-round lens with macro function.
Of course it's not a "real" macro, but good enough for me.
I was always happy with the results.
I am looking forward to warmer weather, looking forward to getting close to BUGS! :))
I like the idea of getting it fixed. Nice shot too.
