Have you tried Sigma themselves? I always found their customer service to be second to none.

Give Sigma a try,I have used them several times and their service is excellent..........http://www.sigma-imaging-uk.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=32path=83

They also give a break down of costs involved which is useful.

There's a gentleman on the Lisburn Road in Belfast does very good work on lenses, but I can't remember his name at the moment (doh!). He has worked on all of my equipment
