Once upon a time we had a nice forum where the contributors were encouraging, positive and supportive. Over the past year we seem to have had a most unfortunate increase in the use of negativism, disdain, and occasionally, outright abuse. Well I have better things to do with my time.

I'm trying to behave....javascript:emoticon('')

I too am trying to behave, I was afraid to add anything further to the thread in case it got a bit heated. But i am sure calmer heads have prevailed and all is sweet
But would like to thank you guys for your tips they were most helpful

Thanks Chris
I might be able to get hold of a Sigma 400mm F5.6 lens as loaner if the guy ever answers his phone

If he doesn't then I might have one for sale soon. Though heaven knows what it would cost to send round the world.

If i like this one i maybe able to convince him to part with it.
What do you expect one to be worth
I would think about 40quid to get it here

Hard to say. I paid £85 for mine about 4 months ago. But decent Pentax-mount glass is fetching a lot more than it was then.

Three AF ones have gone on eBay recently, for between £126 and £187.

Found this one on E-Bay Aust

Thats about 100quid for the buy it now price.

We have a lunar eclipse coming up on the 28th and it will be visible on the east coast of Aust. I was planning on taking a couple of shots but i am not sure what the optimum camera settings are and what would be the best lens to tackle it. The longest i have is my Tamron 28-300 (would this be sufficent). I am assuming the longer the better and i may be able to borrow a longer one if its a huge benefit : Thanks

Heres a thread from another forum discussing macro lenses and the K10

Heres a couple of practice shots i shot using a 50mm 1.7 with a 2 x teleplus macro extender not bad results.

A reasonably cheap alternative
Edit: wouldnt the Hoya 135mm 2.8 you have listed for 20quid with a set of extension tubes make a good alternative :
