Hello,

Posted this in my gallery but got no comments

I'm thinking about printing this BIG (50 x 100 cm (Van gogh's pano size )) for my new flat.

Just wanted to get some opinion first before sending it to the lab... any suggestion, critics?

I love this picture as I remember exactly when I took this shot, I think it would look nice on a wall... but I am not very objective!!

thanks!

Hello,

I do not know about the 18-125mm but there is a big chance the DAL is better, at least from 100 to 300mm!

- I saw 2 people selling the 55-300mm DAL on the forum within the last week or so, one for 100 quid delivered (muggins), the other one i don't remember
- I saw 3 people selling the sigma 70-300mm within a week or so, one of them for 60 quid!
- 18-250mm is an option that's for sure but much more expensive (250 or so)


I don't know what you shoot but I would definitely recommend keeping a wide angle; my suggestion:

1) sell your sigma 18-125mm (do some research, if you cant find any second hand usually they sell around 30% off new price)
2) find a cheap 55-300mm or 70-300mm
3) buy a 18-55mm (any version), they start at 25 quid on ebay

Basically you should be able to trade your lens for 2 lenses, will cover much more and will probably be the same quality if not better

thx for the tip, cleaned it, it wasn't working and then all the sudden it worked! i'm a bit worried it might stop again..?

is that a common thing? otherwise the AF is fast and silent, i like it!

Hello,
Trying out a second hand sigma HSM lens, it has a AF/MF button on the lens, whatever setting I use I can only seem to use Manual focus.

Even when I put the camera on AF and the lens on AF my autofocus is not recognised by the camera (it says MF on the screen).

Am I doing something wrong or is my AF not working?

It's on a Kx which is HSM compatible so wondering if the lens is damaged or something?

Thanks!

although i dont want to miss out on this offer, I feel like i wont use it... so might pass!

but thanks!

£99, is it worth it?

I dont use flash yet, decided I would try with my built-in flash first, but if it's a proper bargain I dont want to miss it!

I would be tempted but not sure it's much better than my 18-250mm, well it probably is from 250 to 300mm

(free bump for you as you've been struggling with this sale when your prices are super fair!)

nice!

Thanks guys... what about the Joby ball head? retails around £28...

thanks for posting this link, this is beautiful it makes my day!
