Having the 28-300 variants thrown into the equation makes things even more interesting.

In theory the range suggests that both the Sigma & Tamron 28-300 lenses shouldn't really be better than the 70-300 variants, can anyone say otherwise ?

I can't vouch for the Sigma or Tamron 70-300s as i don't own either. But i used to have the Tamron 28-300. It was an ok performer in fact very good if you used it below 200mm anything above that was pretty ordinary in my opinion.
I sold it and brought the Tamron 18-250 which i am very happy with.

I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know that Dan came round to my house last night and cleaned the sensor of my DS for the first time ever.

Well it has made a huge difference so I'll have to buy the swabs and cleaner and have a go myself eventually when it next needs doing.

Thanks Dan it's miles better cheers John McD.
Dan's a good bloke, he's coming around to my house on the weekend and clean out my shed

I don't know why red means stop and green means go.... I don't know who came up with that... but I do know that colliding with a truck on my motorcycle is not good for my health, so I just follow the rule... and hope the other guy does too. things seem to work out ok so far that way!

Why is that Don :
I nearly always format my cards on the PC and haven't experienced any loss of storage space.

Okay, so if we all club together it wouldn't cost us more than £50 each, I say that's a worthwhile purchase to see an Australian wish he'd thought a little more before typing...

That's quite cheap for such a good lens.
George you say its quite cheap for such a good lens, how do you quantify that : If you had a picture taken with a pentax 50mm FA 1.4 and another taken with that watchamacallit lens, would you say the quality of the shot is worth the extra 1000quid you would pay for it. :

I agree Martin, he must be joking, 1100quid + vat for that grubby old thing.

George, I'll take 2 of those Nikon oil drum lenses

Another great shot Clarky - still not my favourite subject matter I reckon if you tried to swat that thing with a newspaper it would push back!
