The Sigma has more distortion than the Pentax 12-24mm.
Not according to Photozone.de.
Are we going to go through all this again?

Think it was done to death here?

Oh bother!

I always quite liked mine on the MZ-5n, but then that was in the days when you didn't scrutinise your photos in the minutest detail - digital has done a lot to ruin the reputation of many a lens...

I have a 190B with804 head and will probably change the head at some point not too far away for a 486RC2 or 322RC2.
I changed my 486RC2 to a 488RC2, I found it a bit more useful having the separate pan control.

I believe (seem to recall) that lenses without an aperture ring close down fully when used on tubes with no contacts, so they're a pain to use. I was lucky enough to get a Jessops PKA set off Mannesty, although my macro lens (Sigma 105mm) has an aperture ring anyway. I wanted the PKA set to use with my 16-45mm.

Not sure what this means, surely you can control the aperture from the camera ?
He means the lens doesn't have an aperture ring, so can only be controlled from the body. Hence the need for extension tubes with contacts.

Is that a good price for the 2X-S then? If so, there's one at London Camera Exchange in Colchester for £45. They did have an AF080c ringflash and AF400t flash, with assorted odds and ends earlier, but they've gone now.

How much are you selling this for Pawel? I can't see a price.
