I have two Sigma lenses for sale a 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG APO and a 10-20mm f4-5.6 EX DC. The 70-200mm is the previous generation non-HSM model, the 10-20mm is the current model and both are in superb condition, no scratches, scuffs or marks on the casing or glass. The 70-200mm lens has a tripod collar which is pretty useful as this is a fairly substantial lens. Both have had a 77mm UV/Haze filter fitted since new.

I have the Sigma EX case but no box for the 70-200mm as it's about 18 months old. The 10-20mm has both the Sigma EX case and box. Both were purchased from Merchant City Cameras in Glasgow (formerly Quiggs). They both have to go as I do quite a bit of hiking and I'm carrying around way too much glass! Going to be purchasing a Sigma 18-250mm instead.

Looking for £500ono for the 70-200mm (approx £700 new) and 10-20mm for £325ono (approx £400 new). Please PM me with offers.

Will be advertised only on the Pentax User forum for 1 week before being advertised elsewhere.

If you're still looking I have a Sigma 70-200 F2.8 EX APO that needs a new home, has case and receipt from Merchant City Cameras in Glasgow, no original box I'm afraid but would be boxed up well for shipping.

I'm currently in San Francisco but I'll be back in Scotland this Saturday.

Make me an offer and in could be in your hands by Tuesday!

Many thanks guys, doing a tour around the main National Parks (Yosemite, Tahoe, Death Valley, etc.) so will be moving around a bit but I'll be SF for a while. Will post some pics as I go along, I'll be trying to get up early to catch some sunrises in Yosemite if I can.

I'm headed off to San Francisco on Friday morning can anyone suggest a good Pentax dealer in the Bay area?

Does anyone in the good ol' US of A have any idea when the K-7 is going to be in stores? I'm off to sunny California in 2 weeks to do the wine country/Yosemite/Death Valley tour and fancy picking up a K-7 body when I'm there, saving myself a few bucks.

Then off to the Far East from LAX, Bangkok to be precise. Worth holding off till then and get the K-7 there?

As a bit of a novice when it comes to the whole dSLR world I really like the convenience of auto modes. But like many things in my life I need to know how and why gadgets do the things they do, isn't that half the fun of a hobby like photography?

On the other hand if you take that argument to its most extreme do you run the risk of being caught up in technicalities and lose sight (no pun intended!) of why we take photos?

Does anyone have any opinions on the Sigma 17-70mm Macro as I'm about to buy one to fill a gap in my range of lenses?

I'm thinking of buying a flash to go along with my K20d. The choices have boiled down to the two Sigma models (the Pentax variants being a bit too pricey).

Does anyone have an opinion on if the extra features on the Super are worth the extra outlay over the ST for an amateur?
