BTW How is the new K20 going.
My last 3 ephotozine shots are K20D:
http://www.ephotozine.com/u16488#photos
(Horse Whisperer, Backlit Roxy, and Light Up the Darkness)
The resolution is just phenomenal - even on the (now ancient) SMC-FA 24-90 that is really shining!
Even ISO3200 is incredibly usable - not in all circumstances - but quite astonishing really. May post up a shot taken with the 50mm f/1.4 (ISO3200, f/2.2 IIRC).
There have been a few subtle improvements too along the way in the K20D...
It'll be pushed at the weekend - I'm doing a favour for some good friends and doing their wedding That'll be a blast

Your gallery is superb

Thought I'd provide some links to other Pentax-related gear:
Metz 15 MS-1 Wireless Ring Flash
Sigma 4.5mm and 10mm lenses for Pentax
Sigma EM-140 Ring Flash
Looks like there'll soon be plenty of ring flash options

As Pete has already expressed you will be a little limited with that lens when doing macro, but a good attempt none the less.
If you are looking to purchase a macro lens I will be listing an as new Sigma 105mm macro in the next few days. PM me if you are interested. cheers.

Great shot Pete, It would have been better with a slightly darker background but it looks good as is so just leave it.
I like how you got it all in focus, it can be a challenge.
I think its a type of Lynx spider, going by its flat face and the shape of its carapace (rear end) Well done keep em coming
If I might make a small correction though, the carapace is what covers the front (cephalothorax) body component of a spider. The rear is its abdomen.
