Many thanks Alan and Gwyn.
Since my last post I have found the original, Tesco, installation disc in the back of the cupboard, and it is “Microsoft Internet Explorer”, that they use.
Never looked before, as I had it installed, by the computer engineer that installed my computer.
Take care.

Why can't you just press cancel like everybody else
As I said in my previous post, if I press cancel the site freezes.Why can't you just press cancel like everybody else
Close/Cancel, same thing, just a different word.
So yes the same as everyone else, thank you.
But not a helpful comment.
Take care.

Many thanks all, for your input.
Just tried this morning, I can get into the lens section, which is what I wanted,so ok there, but if I click to view camera information, I get the login box, if I close that the whole site freezes.
So looks as if it doesn’t like my service provider.
Again many thanks.

Anyone tried recently to view camera/lens information on the “Pentax uk Ltd” web site, you now have to have a user name plus password to view such information. So closed shop, to the general public.
Very strange for a suppliers site, maybe they no longer want to sell their products ?.
Take care.

Hi.
Any advice or thoughts, please on which is the better of these two lens.
Pentax DFA 100mm f2.8 Macro.
Or
Sigma 105mm f2.8 EX DG Macro.
I am looking at 100mm approx, focal length as apposed to say 50mm, as I have physical problems getting down low to subjects.
Also appreciate, the Sigma is less money.
Camera used would be a K10D, with a possible update in the future to a K5, this would be far in the future though, as at this point in time I don’t have the necessary (£££) for the lens, let alone a K5.
Many thanks.

The Pentax lens is superb and can be found fo amazingly low prices. I would unhesitatingly recommend it.
The Sigma lens I have not tried, but being aware that Sigmas can vary quite a bit and that they reverse-engineer, I tend to avoid them. I don't like the feel of thr finish either!
100mm will certainly be better with regards to reach but the minimum focus distance is around 30cm/12" which still means getting quite near to the subject if you want 1:1 magnification.
Which Pentax lens are you refering to? the DFA100mm or the DFA100mmWR, the former could probably be found for less than the Sigma if you shop around.
Now to start saving, then convince the wife, that I really need one.
Take care.
