Getting an error with a Lens

[Phate]

Morning All,

A friend of mine leant me a Sigma 70-210 F2.8 to have a play about with, it fits the 350D fine.

I turn it on, and it focus' fine and I get the red light to confirm it's focused fine, then I take the picture and on the small digital display it just flashes

"ERROR 99"

Anyone ever seen this before?

Does anyone know of any issues with this Body/Lens ?


Thanks all

Many Thanks

Will try this out when I get home

you had it working on a digital body before?

if its one of the older lenses it may not work and might need to be re-chipped.

I'm not sure as It's not my lens. To late to do any precise work now

Will have to do it tomorrow.
