Just had my tamron 400mm repaired by Alan marlow who said he was on a three week turnaround but was actually just three days, well impressed with the speed and quality of the repair.

It was under declared at $23 exactly so there is no custom duty to pay, how did you think they achieved no duty fees???

I don't understand why anyone buys lenses from them as there isn't really that much of a saving compared to buying in the UK.

Yep have to agree with you Gary. I just don't like waiting and the problem is it will no doubt be another two years before Sigma will make it available in Pentax mount.

The Sigma 35mm Art is stella Gary, its been on the K3 most of the time since I purchased it and I love it.

If all of the Sigma Art line lenses turn out this way, I think a lot of people will be putting money Sigmas way.

How are you getting on with the Nikon 600? If you get the chance can PM with your findings, I would really appreciate it.

Not really had a proper chance to try it out yet to be honest, still putting all the kit together, finally got the 28-70 today, if the flash arrives before Saturday I can give it a whizz in the club

I imagine when Pentax do come out with an FF the lens lineup will be stellar too and prices of the FA* may actually fall if the quality of the DA* is replicated in the FF lens lineup particularly of they use the new DC motors in them

If I was in the market I would get the Sigma for the reasons LennyBloke gave, however I would be tempted to wait for the art version which may just be around the corner from Sigma, Sigma are killing it right now with their new lens releases.

A small price to pay for global exposure

If you want a certain price set a higher buy it now price and accept best offer for what you would like and sometimes you get someone who buys at full whack win win

Number 2 is a great portrait.

I always try to get my clients to wear single coloured tops and with kids single coloured bright t shirts are always good. Stripy and patterned clothes can be distracting.
