I own a Sigma AF Tele 400mm f5.6 that the three front lens have come out from it being rattled around on the back of my motorcycle. Does any out there know how these go back together? Thank you for your time. I have look for a drawing on the internet but have not found anything. Thanks again. Mark

    The Sigma 400mm, f5.6 (original APO and the HSM/APO version) are pretty old and I too can't find any diagrams. I suspect that the design may be similar to the Canon 400mm, f5.6 design, so you might take a look at that lens diagram, plus the Sigma 500mm, f4.5 design, to see if that helps.

    Thank you for the suggestion. I dropped it off at a local repair place have not heard back but I told the owner "when you have time and if you can't fix it then keep it for parts". I purchased a 55-200mm Nikon VR. Really decent lens for the price but I sure do miss the reach of that 400mm on a DX body. Thanks again. M
