Sigma 28-200mm
I rang to Alan and says would be able to do. Anyway I'm still looking in my local area shop that would be able to clean it. But Alan seems to be pro in that case. Thanks for info one more time. PS. I had spare 35-80mm where had cracked focus ring, decided to open it myself. How people manage to b...

£599... absolutely perfect condition... What do you think? approve? :wink: Seems a good price considering what they cost today. My problem is that I always think back to a few months ago when lens prices were a lot cheaper .. I remember SRS selling a refurb on Ebay for £399 not that long ago...

Nathan, I agree entirely & you've got shots here you wouldn't have got at F4. I may be a little harsh on shot 1 as it could be high iso leading to loss of detail/sharpness, but #2 is is really very soft indeed & hardly proof of an "incredible" lens. I think you may be a little over-excited at your l...

Hi Nathan, As I said prevously is an incredible lens, expecially for the price you have paid, I got mine for a bit more and I am very happy with it, I didn`t have the time to play with, infact I came back from Italy today. I will post one photo on the gallery i made recently with it. Claudio

Just got back from a day out in brighton. Brought the fish-eye and the 200mm. I am really very pleased about this lens, its absolutely perfect for my people /street-photography style. I really like the fact that Its long enough to be discreet, but not too long to be too hard to use... It pro...

DA* Lens
I purchased a DA* 60-250mm Pentax SDM Lens back in Jul - just before the price hike. It appears to share the same lens tripod foot as the DA*300mm SDM last week the locking screw for the 60-250M foot completely unscrewed from it's housing. Luckily I didn't lose the screw. I have sent the tripod ...

DA* Lens
Thought the mounting clip was a bit loose when I put the screw back. Didn't see a spring or ball bearing in orbit when the screw came out:!:

Keep the FA f1.4 or the f1.7 ?
Could u expound on this a bit John, for those of us who don't have a clue what you're talking about A lens projects an image onto the sensor/film and, uncorrected, this would be dish shaped, just as the lens elements are curved, so projecting onto a flat sirface the centre might be in focus and the ...

Back in 2005 when I purchased second hand my *istD I also bought a couple of Sigma lenses with the deal.I am now hoping to sell them on the classified section or Amazon but I cannot find a corresponding lens online. Sigma EX 24-70mm F2...

Help for a Newbie
Hi everyone, I wonder if you could help, I have a Samsung GX-10 which I have had for a bout 12 months now. I really enjoy using it but I now want to buy myself a bigger zoom lens, I already have a 50-200mm but I have been looking at a couple which are: Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3 DG OS HSM and Sigma 50-...

Help for a Newbie
Rachel; Yes the lenses are auto focus if it says AF in the description but I think you'll find the 50-500 is not a HSM lens, at least not yet in Pentax mount. HSM means the lenses have the focusing motors built into the lens like the new Pentax SDM range. As others have said it is a huge lens th...

16-45mm £229 or Tamron 17-50mm??
Sorry, didn't realise what I said about the 16-50 would come over all cryptic, it's just that I've read more reliability complaints about them than about any other Pentax lens See for example on here: [ ] and on PentaxForums: , ,

16-45mm £229 or Tamron 17-50mm??
I'll do my own tests and post them as soon as I have the 16-45 in my sweaty paw. My only reason for jumping into this thread is that, from time to time, I ponder about whether I should spend a few shekels improving the glass I own or just invest more time and effort to improve my limited skills. Wh...

16-45mm £229 or Tamron 17-50mm??
It was because you put Sigma green with envy rather than Pentax. Pentax would be green with envy of Sigma/Tamron for reliability issues. Its one reason I'm not too keen on 2nd hand 16-50mm's which is all I can afford. Its not on with a flagship lens. It was sarcasm. Curse of the internet strik...

Andrew, I bought the GX10 Jan 2008 and it and the kit lens have been fine. I've completed an A level over the past two years. I wanted to start a foundation degree part time this year and it didn't run and neither did a diploma course as a back stop. So hey-ho here I am. University of life,...

16-45mm Great lens! However, in certain cirmstances (studio work for example) not "quite" as good as my Sigma 24-70mm EX F2.8 sharpness wise. I have also tried the Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 and it is "just" sharper, and has the advantage of F2.8. But, and here it comes.... My Sigma cost £300 4 ...

I won't know until the gorse is out in March and there's a bit of sun. Is the gorse out yet in Cornwall? I've just happened across the thread again (because I was pondering anew about whether I need to buy something "better" for this kind of image) and checked the EXIF for your photo. You to...

The gorse is peeping but its been cold here. Not as cold as elsewhere but tonight I brought some washing an hour ago and it was frozen stiff. I think the gorse will be in full flower a little later. To think a frost was unusual over the last decade. I'm still learning and thought that whackin...
