Nice shots of a car that I would never have bought, but the
1965 Riley variation at the bottom looks tempting

It might help to check the focus is right using AF and also
do a few shots using MF.

Thanks Adrian, as soon as the weather breaks I'll have
to try out my 10-20

Wow! I didn't think the Sigma 10-20mm was that sharp
At least my copy isn't

All shots are excellent

What was the general exposure details and ISO?
Did you use AF and SR or just pre-set focus?

It should be razor sharp on the K-5 even at 300mm and crops
aren't usually a problem. The big advantage is the high ISO
400ISO is good and 1600ISO is only slightly more noisy.
Recovery of underexposed shots is excellent.

Personally I would prefer the K-5 to any new lens.

For best results with the 55-300mm it needs to be between
f/8 and f/11. Most poor results with any lens are usually
due to camera shake.
