Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG HSM II
That follows the reviews I've seen elsewhere - the general feeling seems to be that the Sigma's the better lens, but with the new prices of both it's uncertain whether it's twice as good to match it being twice the price! If SRS have any left at that price I'll be able to bag the lens and a UV fi...

Phoenix 28-210mm Lens
I'm sorry that it took me a bit to respond to your comments and help that were read and looked into. :oops: I attached the Phoenix Lens to the Camera and then went into the Camera settings. I think that I've gotten the Lens to work well now thanks to all who answered my question. It still will...

Sigma 24-70mm EX DG F2.8 lens
I have it and like it a lot, the only downside is the size as its quite large and heavy for this focal range, large filter as well. I sometimes wish it was wider. However I wouldn't sell mine as I don't think I'd be able to get anything better for similar money. Its pseudo macro comes in hand...

Sigma 24-70mm EX DG F2.8 lens
Any particular reason why you decided to sell? I was torn between this and the new Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 but have just been on a trip to Arran and noticed most of my photos taken with the 18-55mm were taken between 24-35mm (must be my style) so the extra £200+ for the wider lens didn't seem worth it...

DA 15mm push on lens cap
Well I don't have the DA15 but I successfully use Takumar caps on my DA35, FA77 (both sliding hoods) and FA43 (fixed hood) - just to avoid losing/damaging the originals. What size is the supplied cap? It's a 49mm screw in IIRC, screws into the filter thread. John

DA 15mm push on lens cap
hello i use protection filter, witch adds 3mm and puts the filter thread on the same level with sliding hood, so any cap would do, but i use original screw-one. but i think even without filter, there is enough space for clip-on cap. edit: just saw, you are looking for push-on. i am not sure, b...

Just bought Sigma 30mm f1.4! :D
Thanks to you guys, I bought this lens. Initial impressions are very good and it seems to suit my purpose. For landscape, stopped down, it seems to be sharp enough on the borders / corners to be usable. Wide open, it is sharp enough in the centre for indoor portraits (e.g. in restaurants). Some u...

Lens Hood Woes
Agreed. The only time I've ever managed to get an SMC lens to flare was when shooting IR with a cheap filter. I think the filter caused it rather than the lens, as I've never had it before or since!

Fisheye
I would appreciate any comments on the following :- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120623070238&ssPageName=STR... In particular for use on a K10D. eg how does it work? - does it replace a lens (how?) or does it attach to the filter screw (52mm in the ase of the 18-55m...

Fisheye
I have a similar model. It does indeed screw onto the filter threads, and is rather limited, but still allows some shots that the DA10-17 fisheye can't manage. The 10-17 reaches 180° diagonally, whilst the adapter can stretch to ~160° all round. (Mine seems to cram too much into the perimeter for my...

Opinions sought on Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6
I don't think you can screw filters on the 8 16 whereas you can with the 10 20 if this matters. That's true, not that I use a filter much. John

Opinions sought on Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6
I think you've made the right decision on the 10-20 vs 8-16, all you need to do now is decide if you're keeping the DA:?: Simon Hi Simon, thanks. I think the 8-16 is definitely off, especially considering the sample variation issues I'm likely to encounter, better the devil you know....... I lus...

Kit list for Western USA trip?
The 50-135 doesn't go long enough for landscapes for me, so whilst I have one I wouldn't take it. I would add a much longer lens for picking out details in landscapes. Personally I'd take the excellent 60-250/4, however the 55-300 is good value and lighter, depends if it's the trip of a lifetime ...

Lens for Street Photography
The only other lens I could think of was the K 18/3.5 but very hard to find on the used market, no auto metering either. More compact than the K/A 15mm http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/lenses/primes/ultra-wide/K18f3.5.html John I will rule out K18/3.5, it is not that great in the corners.....K20/4 ...

Lens for Street Photography
"I will rule out K18/3.5, it is not that great in the corners.....K20/4 seems to be much better lens IMHO. And to top it K20/4 is also cheaper a bit, but seems to be more rare. I was happy to get my for approxv155£. Both K18/3.5 and K20/4 are nicely corrected for distortion. Nice thing about K18 and...

Sigma 10-20
Hi thanks for that John. I don't want the 8 16, as I understand this is more of a fish eye effect? No it's rectilinear, with a bit of barrel disortion at 8mm but it's less distorted than the 10-20 is at 10mm. In fact it's pretty much distortion-free! The filter thing is a bit of a pain if you use t...

Sigma 10-20
Another thumbs-up for the 10-20 F4.5 The newer model uses a larger filter of 82mm (as opposed to 77mm). The F4.5 weighs 470g, whilst for example the 55-300 is just under an ounce less at 440g. Personally I don't find it to be heavy :) Adrian

DA*16-50 Comments
Now I have had this lens for some time, I'm just adding some comments... Second optical observation is that under some situations it's a purple fringing monster in JPG! Further investigation shows that it's actually Longitudinal Chromatic Aberration (LCA or LoCA) when wider than f/4, also known a...

Pentax SMC-D FA 100mm f2.8 Macro
I'm at work at present and just asked my girlfriend to check it for me and she said that there is a +1 magnification filter on it, which to be honest I hadn't realised. Do you think thats what's causing the issue with the focusing at distance??
