Thanks for your comments. I see what you mean by the vignetting effect in 4, probably is too much.

Nice set Tim, my favorite is Cave Dale II , very moody.

Mifsuds have this for 299 new in Pentax fit which seems a good price if you can stretch to that.

Sigma also did a 24-60 2.8 which was a fair bit smaller but had good reviews from memory. Maybe harder to track one of these down though.

Hi Andrew, I have one which I like. I like the pseudo macro ability and find it good for flowers etc. Although I don't use mine much I wouldn't sell it as for the price I think you would struggle to get better in this focal range. The main negatives would be weight, although this doesn't bother me, and a large filter size if you use filters.

Occasionally I wish it was slightly wider.

There should be a couple of shots in my gallery taken with this, sunflower and clematis from memory.

Its still on the website. I thought it was continuing till the end of the month.

I've had similar problems to woodworm with a sigma (70-200) and it was a combination of dirty contacts and a little play which required a light twist to correctly allign.

The 50-150 has a very small AF/MF switch, you've probably done this already but I'd check its not been flicked to MF.
