Ok, all my lenses got some kind of identification.
Sigma 100-300 is reported as AF100-300mm F4.5-5.6(D), 28-70 as AF28-70mm 
F2.8G.
However, I have an extra Sigma 17-35mm f/2.8-4.0 (D) EX which is 
reported as a  AF24mm F2.8.

Which obviously is not the case.

You need more information on that one?
