You can have my original Elements 6 for £10 donation to my favourite charity.
Not sure if it does panos though.
PM if interested.

Sepia for me, colour has to many distracting dark tones.

Truly fantastic Danny.
Must make all the efforts to get the zoom seem worthwhile.

You're trying to justify keeping it instead of offering me a bargain price i guess!
That`s very true Danny, fact is i have only used this once since i bought it a year ago. But am starting to think i will keep hold of it anyway, prices can only go up Certainly cannot see Pentax releasing a new version of this anytime soon.

Of course given our previous trading history should I put it up for sale you would qualify for a special price.

Plus it might have a bit of shake.
Hmm, that's interesting Algi, tripod mounted, 12 second delay, focus was afc in both cases using central point.

Not sure if this is of interest to anybody?
Comparison of Sigma 150-500 OS HSM with F1.7x teleconverter.
1) 500mm, straight jpeg, matrix metered, no cropping or manipulation;

2) 500mm + 1.7x teleconverter, same camera settings;

I even left the dust spot in
Apart from a slight over-exposure it seems pretty good to me.

Have you tried the 1.7x with the D-FA 100mm macro?
I did when i first got the 1.7, do not have any images to hand, but i recall it was pretty good, but only in manual focus. The 1.7 did not seem able to settle in af.
Possibly a more interesting thing was using the 1.7 with my Sigma 150-500 OS HSM, it worked absolutely fine, which i was not expecting.

Then when you sell it you realise you needed it for that one photo
That is the thing stopping me at the moment, I have only sold before when I have had duplicates, to lose the macro facility totally may be a step to far. Problem is I have cover for the 55-300 and 400, but not the other two. Think I need to sleep on it for a few days.

Cheers Mike, Think the teleconvertor would be the most difficult one for me to sell personally. I coveted one of these for quite a while before i got one. Problem is I never use it.
