Can you buy a film back for a K20D?

Thanks Roy, I've been trying to justify this Sigma to myself, as I was going to buy the used 16-45 at £175 but a new one is £240 so for an extra £35 I think the Sigma would be worth it.
Didn't you just sell a new 16-45mm :
He seems to be picking up your habits Mike

That should bump the value of the lens up nicely

Very nice shots Peter.... I didn't realize that it had such nice Bokeh as well

Be carefull that you don't confuse the f/2 for the f/1.2?
Happens a lot on ebay.

Top Lens should have Limited written on it

Looking at these tests, it looks better than anything else at f/4
plus it's sharp centre and edge and has very high contrast,
hardly any CA and almost no distortion..... Give him £250

That particular seller is better avoided I've had problems with him in the past (he's a member on here by the way) and he certainly isn't a man of his word. I had to give him a negative feedback over a lens and then got this in an email:

Subject: Seller is requesting Feedback revision:
"Hi, I will fully refund your money paid for the lens
and postal costs if you could revise your feedback to positive."

I changed the Feedback and never received the refund, he changed his mind about it. I imagine that a lot of the 100% Feedback sellers pull similar tricks and even refund money to keep 100%.

Excellent shots from a very good lens which can match the best from f/5.6 onwards. It also has a unique bokeh. You might be interested in this TEST

My favourite from the pre-Super A bodies. The AF indicator works better than the one in my K20D The metering on mine is kaputt

What lens have you used Gary... that's the worst PF I've seen on a camera shot even on ebay The K-5 has problems with PF but the K-7 is very good.... must be the lens
Did you miss this post Gary or am I to assume you used a Nikon Lens
