So the advert that I linked is incorrect...oooooh,contravention of the Trades Description Act,me thinks.

Silly me....

Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3 DG OS HSM Lens - Pentax Fit The Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM ultra-telephoto zoom lens for Pentax DSLRs covers a telephoto range up to 500mm and allows photographers to bring the subject close with short perspective. Sigma s original OS (Optical Stabilizer) function offers the equivalent of using a shutter speed approximately 4 stops faster. It is ideal for sports, wildlife and landscape photographers, especially those who prefer to shoot handheld.

...gunna pop in on friday and have a chat with Tom,he seems a starightforward type of guy and the price he`s quoting ain`t far off the prices in the banner showing on here.

Hmmmm...this is interesting

Just read the description AND it`s apparently got Optical Stabilisation already...thinks me needs to go and have a chat with LCE.

eBay...making sense?...are you mad?...it`s like buying a secondhand car from Quentin Cooper or sailing around the world with Tony Bullimore.

I have to agree with you on that one Gareth and see your point,I`m more than happy with the IS on my Pentai/Clickery (both of mine).Think I might wait a month or so afteral,my Tamron did me fine at RIAT last year so it can do me for another this years event.

I don`t think so...he demonstrated the 150-500 and I watched him write 150-500 in the order book.

I went down to LCE (Bristol) and ordered a Sigma 150-500 the other week and all seemed well till today when I checked my telephone messages.

As Tom at LCE explained in his message,in the shop he demonstrated a Sigma 150-500 on a Canon as he didn`t have a K mount at the time.The Sigma that he used has Image Stabilisation.Apparently,the Sigma with the K mount doesn`t have "IS" although as we all know,both my K10D and K20D have "Anti Shake".

The dilemma I have now is that apparently Sigma are about to announce (in the next few months)a 150-500 with a K mount with "IS".

So,am I going to gain from both IS systems or are they going to conflict each other?

Hey,you don`t want to clump Cormwall in with this lot,you`ll get the Kernow Mob onto you...he he he.

Bing is a pain in the butt...and that latest download is really bugging (guess who didn`t read the small print before downloading it on 2 of the 4 computers in the house,yep,ME!!).Atleast Windows Xp asks you a dozen times if you want to delete something before it does it,this Bing window is an "unable to remove once installed" thing.

It`s like buying a Lotus and being told it`s got to come with a Vauxhall engine in it...oh,hang on,Lotus was/is part of GMC...ok..um..a Ferrari and being to it`s got to have a FIAT engine..no,that don`t work either...ok,a Skoda...although,on second thoughts...he he he.

Just a thought..how many Forum Members use Linnux as an OS?...it`s got me out of a few scrapes when a Windows driven hard drive has crashed and burned.
