Does anyone here know where can I get that done in Dublin?What about the chips that are sold in Ebay? Any experiences in that anyone? Any help will be apreciated.

You will have to contact sigma directly or thru an agent. If its an old lens they might have run out of chips for that particular lens and they dont make new chips.

Never knew you could get them on ebay but they are prob reverse engineered generic chips.
