Nice set Andrew, like the first one as the other have set. I like the last one of the child but it looks a little dark on my screen.

Regards

George

I think sigma did a 24-60 (might have been 24-50) F2.8 as well as the 24-70 2.8 which is quite a bit bigger and heavier.

The 24-60 will appear 2nd hand sometimes although not very often.

Had the same problem as you, the link provided by Mike P worked fine though. (from the other thread)

Anyone done a K5ii yet? Seems odd about the update number.

Not sure you could get the 120-300 converted, the Q&A has the following:


Q3: Can I request to convert to any mount of my choice?

A3: Yes, as long as the lens in the requested mount has been released by SIGMA as a product

Having looked at the Sigma uk site there is nothing that I can see to suggest that the Pentax version will not have this. The USB dock is shown with no mention of mount exclusions.

The SRS site mentions the USB dock as well.

Just done the K5 & K01 with no problems, correct old and new firmware versions showing on screen. Looks like a glitch with K5ii although it may only be a naming error I'll hold back updating the K5II for now.

Just tried the Ricoh link for the K5II

Still shows

Program Update
Yes
No

CURRENT VERSION 1.04
UPDATE VERSION 1.04

I'm holding back on this until its sorted, never had problems with these before. Will try my K5 and K01 to see what if they work.

I did it from the pentax forums link I provided above. Will try the Ricoh one.

When pressing the menu button it confirmed the old and new firmware and asks if you wish to update, I clicked no as the firmware numbers were the same. From the comments on the pentax forums link, it seems other people have had the same issue, hopefully the Ricoh one will show 1.5.

New firmware here

link


I tried to do the K5ii and the firmware came up with 1.04 as the new and old and still asked if I wanted to update, so I left it for now.

Anyone else updated theirs ?

Regards

Nice set David.

Really like 'Girl on a Picture Stall' and the vibrant colours in contrast to the buildings in 'Ghost Town'.
