Heres a stink bug, uncropped and unprocessed, taken with a reversed 28mm on bellows and extension tubes.

I'm up for this, hope to have something by the end of the week.

BTW great shots

Can it be any bug with compound eyes ::

I am always very careful with the camera when the Bigma is connected, it always feels like its way to heavy for the mount. I always carry it by the lens, never by the strap, but even that still feels weird.

This surprises me somewhat as we usually follow you guys with pricing and more times than not it is significantly higher in price than what you are paying.
Take the new DA*60-250 for example over here you can't get it for less than £1100, yet you guys are paying £899 for it. So what gives ::

Re: The lens prices - Isn't CR Kennedy the Sigma importer as well :

Not that it should make much difference!

Richard, all our Sigma and Pentax gear come through C R Kennnedy's, They have a monopoly on it.

John & Shim, So what are you saying, that the prices they have on thier websites are just a con ?? If thats the case then it makes no sense at all. Why would they list the lens at 1100quid which isn't in the country yet and on the same page list the K-7 at 740quid.
Well I have dealt with some of these retailers before and that is not the standard practise that I have encountered.

Clarky, swap you a DA*60-250mm f4 for a Pentax K-7

If we were both gauranteed not to get hit with taxes and whatever else they want to tack on, then we could work something out.

You may be right but that doesn't explain why the lens is way more expensive and the K-7 is way cheaper
