Stefan, thanks for sharing the link. Very useful!

Cheers, Luka

I've had a play with sigma 24/1.8 a while ago and it actually opened up to f/1.7.

Macro extension tubes recieved today! Well packed and quick shipping.
Chris, thank you very much!

Regards, Luka

I feel the need to share my extra positive experience from today.
I've just finished my first day of classes and was about to leave the faculty with my motorcycle (well, actually it's a moped), when it started to rain heavily... I didn't want my camera to get soaking wet so I figured it's best to put my little lowepro camera bag in my backpack. I pulled out my sweater and a jacket, zipped the backpack and drove home in pouring rain.
As I got home, I had to get dry as rain really got to me... After a while, I've opened my backpack and realized that I've left my camera bag with my K200d and my girlfriend's Sigma 30/1.4 on the desk in the lobby of our faculty. I really started to panic and drove back immediately... It turned out that one really honest person picked it up from the desk where I apparently left it and gave it to the security man at the reception desk...

I guess I can pronounce myself as lucky today ... Maybe I should play the lottery

Cheers, Luka

P.S. I hope that one day I get to meet this honest person, at least to say thank you.

It is auto focus, auto aperture. It's an excellent piece of glass

PM sent.

cheers, Luka

coker, I have a vivitar version of this kiron 28/2 lens that I mostly use on my K200d and P30. It's worth getting it fixed, but I personally would leave it to someone with skills. These 28/2 lenses are getting quite rare to find these days...

Cheers, Luka

Thanks for the advice!
This sigma is probably manual focus/auto aperture type lens? I've heard great things about it, but am really after an AF lens...

Cheers, Luka

Thank you for your reply Reuben! I really like the FOV of 35 mm on film, so I figured 24 is the best alternative here. Maybe I should take a look at 21/3.2 ltd.

Cheers, Luka

Ok, thanks for sharing

As long as the optics stay in place I'm not really bothered. But to be honest, I may not be very credible where it comes to paint wear, as I drive an old ratty VW bug


Cheers, Luka

P.S. Any experience with FA*24/2?
