The pinkish flowers look interesting and add some nice colour to the shot. but I think from a photography point of view the 2nd shot is the better of the two, the texture of the foreground looks so real.

Both good but I also like the 2nd one best.
Superb pattern in the feathers

The Samsung is German Therefore of much higher
optical quality Very similar to Carl Zeiss,
Voigtlander, Leica etc.

I'm a bit suspicious that all Pentax 200mm Macro lenses
are in MINT condition Surely they must be
usable for something?

don't keep them clean

have had a rough night!

I like the 1st one, the 2nd is a bit too over saturated for me.

Total con if you ask me as it's nice to see a stable image in the viewfinder and they don't reduce the price any because of it.
Yes, I'd agree.

With the Bigma, I'm forming the distinct impression that the OS in the lens is quite a bit more effective than the SR in the body.
In the lens SR is old leftover technology from the film days. Extensive tests have been carried out by the testing labs and neither system shows any benefit. I think a lot of testing has also been done on the US Forum.

In lens SR will certainly never TEACH any one how to hold a lens steady
