Hi Bret.
No 1 & 2, of the prison, very thought provoking shots, with B&W being just right for this subject.

Many thanks to all for your constructive input and comments, I think I am now biased towards the Pentax 100mm.
Not that I have anything against Sigma, I have their 10 -20 mm, which is very good.
Now just need to give the piggy bank , a good shaking.

Hi Adrian.
Lens aside,for a moment.
I really rate the images, just looking at them, I can smell the hot engine oil, an unbeatable fragrance.
Yea I know, I am a sad old git.

Thanks Gwyn.
I will have a look, but stand by to send over your tame computer wiz.

These branded IE's are nothing short of a disgrace. I once had Wanadoos version on and it seemed impossible to remove it.
Just install Firefox as the default browser and leave IE alone.

I will get our painter/odd job man to have a look next time he’s here.
He is the computer wiz kid, far to risky for me to start playing.
Take care.

Both are very good, personally I think the Pentax has the edge.
Sigma is better made, the Pentax is a bit plasticy imo .. was quite surprised when I first got it but the IQ is superb and it is a lot lighter and more compact than the 105mm.

That takes it to a majority vote for the Pentax.

Hi Alan.
That’s reminded me.
An ex work mate of mine, obtained his private pilots licence, despite having only one eye, (lost one in an accident at school). If asked if it was a problem with just the one eye, his stock answer was, no it’s a big advantage, when landing, and we get below the level that the altimeter is effective, I can hold my false eye out at arms length, and see exactly how far of the ground we are.
Not the greatest boost of confidence, if you was going up with him.
But have been told that he is a good pilot.
Take care.

Great shot, I have been asking about the Pentax 100mm macro on another post.
Your shot has now sealed the deal.
Many thanks for sharing.
Take care.
