sounds like the motors failed, whereabouts are you based? fixationUK are really good at lens/camera repair on modern stuff.

http://www.fixationuk.com and usually they don't charge to quote for repairs, though i'm not sure if that policy extends to lenses.

Oh yeah and they are an official sigma service centre, so they know their shit ;)

owww thankk crazyy j man! im based in south london :) what about youu ? : ) yea i think it is i just done some research ans its because the motor overspeeds lol silly thing should just carm downn

you're kidding.

1. AFAIK fixation won't touch sigma
   
2. it's a month old - take it back to the shop
   

shop, exchange, done... why the thread?
