Just as thread title says... looking to buy a Canon 420EX Flash. Preferably used as I don't want to shell out too much.

I've had my Samsung 712n LCD since Friday now, I absolutely adore it and I had it setup PERFECTLY up until yesterday evening. I reboot my machine and for some reason the LCD recalibrated itself. Now, I know that it only changed the few options that I don't care about setting manually, but...

How much boost the Volvo running?

Nope, with a 2U case slot 1 CPUs perfectly clear it. My heatsink is from a Compaq server (fan less) which sticks up an extra inch. If it was 1/2 an inch, it'd clear it, but that extra bit forces it to be taller. I tried closing the case w/o the heatsink on and it closes fine.

I need one that's not higher than the CPU itself, so that it fits in a 2U case. I currently have to keep my 2U server's top open to fit the heatsink. Anyone got one? Not willing to spend much, after all, it's a heatsink :D Let me know!

Are you sure? Since I talked to the person who previously owned this and he says it's quite soft wide-open. I can't find anything about people complaining.. can you show me some links?

I bought it second hand, but have all the warranty cards (unfilled) and whatnot. Would Sigma fix that? Biatches. Oh and NEIN.

The softness seems to be limited to wide-open shooting, a stop up and it's a lot sharper. But yes, I'm not happy about it being soft.

This is from yesterday, but I already started getting the hang of this lens.. Sister holding a tomato. ISO 400, f/4.5, 1/10s, hand-held. You can see that as soon as I get away from f/3.5, it gets sharp... oh well, no big deal really.

Okay, apparently wide-open it's pretty soft. A few stops up and it's better. Otherwise a PS sharpen mask helps.

I have one thought though. If let's say it's dimming out and the power comes back on, would the PWM ramp back up from the point it's at or would it start from the bottom?

It's a very nice lens indeed. Good shot.

Very nice. What did you pick it up for?

That's actually how sharp the lens is.
