I'm pleased the battery is nice and small. I was expecting something larger. This means carrying a spare will be no problem at all.
Cheers.
Sorry i can't recommend anyone in the UK but if i remember the NP-400 is for a Minolta camera so just ask at your local camera store. I actually got mine here in Sydney at a company that sells only batteries of all shapes and kinds.Clarky wrote:
I have 3 batteries also and as John said 2 is sufficient for most people.
My 2 backup batteries are the generic brand, both NP-400 @ 1750mAh I found these to be just as good as the pentax model and can be purchased for under 20quid.
Can you recommend a supplier for those please? I need to save my pennies after getting a K10D today!I have 3 batteries also and as John said 2 is sufficient for most people.

Those are very good shots colour and sharpness are excellent. I have never used a Mirror lens and they don't get very good reviews from what i have read, but these are very good, so you must have a good one
Don't worry about my bugs they can look after themselves and besides most bugs in Aust are bigger than robins anyway

Bottom left of the leaf, is that another leg I can see? The one in your pic seems to have all eight, so is there another spider lurking in there? A mate perhaps.
You certainly seem to have caught the bug for bug macro's. Good stuff.
Peter you are right it is another spider in there and possibly a mate : Although i have never seen a leaf before which contained 2 spiders. Bottom left of the leaf, is that another leg I can see?

I do love though bugs, i find them fascinating
MX veteran I don't have a trailer load of gear yet but its getting that way I use a Slingshot 300 bag which i find handy for 3 or 4 lenses + flash and other knick knacks, and my house backs onto a state forrest so there's lots of bugs and wildlife thats easily accessible
What happened to your avatar Matt, you look like one of the Thunderbirds

Great, lets see the results.
The 16-45 is highly praised, how much better is it than the 18-55?
I can vouch for Martins 16-45 as i sold it to him and rate it very highly. The extra 2mm at the wide end does make a difference Great, lets see the results.

It was my never leave home without it lens, along with my 90mm Tamron macro.

Hi Daz and welcome to the forum.
The Sigma is definately AF
I have been considering one of these also, and have read good reviews on both, so i would like to know also which one is considered better. I suspect they are pretty much identical to each other.

Thanks Martin.
The Sigma APO version has the red trim around the top of the Barrel and the non APO has a yellow trim if i am not mistaken
