Haha, cute! Great title, too. They almost look camouflaged!

BTW, how do you like the Sigma 18 - 250? They have come down in price with the new Sigma 18 - 300 contemporary coming out. Am interested in buying one of these.
Cheers...Donna 😊

Apart from the cuteness factor, great tones, textures and detail

Many thanks for all your kind comments.

I've been extremely happy with this lens, Donna, having had it almost 2 years now.
The AF is quick and accurate and the sharpness stands up well at all zooms.
I rarely used any other lens last year and it only got surpassed when I got the DA18-135WR as a bundle with the K50 last autumn.
If I don't need the extra reach of the Sigma the 18-135 stays on the K50 as I'm then fully WR !
However, when I need the extra reach it is the Sigma 18-250 which gets used.
As you say, it is now quite a bargain (many UK suppliers are also offering a £50 cashback but the price in US$ is probably cheaper in any case !)

Thanks again
Peter

Have another kind comment - it's a very interesting picture
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
