None of failure so far but pls. note: on the new camera, regardless Nikon oor Canon, some old Sigma required to re-chipped, otherwise it doesn't work or not working properly, we had a discussion on this before.

I've got a normal UV filter on my Tokina, I have noticed very slight vignetting only when shooting at 12mm and f4, not noticable otherwise.

But this isn't old though, right?

Not saying an old lens but the lens produced before the new camera released.
