Why did you let go the 7D and switch back to Pentax Pete ? Oh and welcome back home !

I used to be a fanatical golfer, played all over the UK, NIgeria, HK, Thailand, China. But because of photography (something my wife can at least participate in a little - though she's not a tog) it's almost gone, selling over all my clubs bar one set for the occasional chance I get to play a round. It is a rather selfish sport in terms of both time and cost (to your relationships as well as pocket) !

Nice review here - the Canon PIXMA MG8220 is the one I'd vote for as value for money (about $300). link

I have the Sigma 18-125 but haven't used it for more than a year. It is actually a decent lens with nice IQ and a great walkabout range but of course IQ is not as good as lenses costing x2 x3 more.

I have actually had it back in the UK all packed and ready to go for the last 6 months ! However I forgot all about it and so haven't put it up here in the marketplace yet, so if you are interested just PM me. It's in perfect condition (pics on my Smugmug below - under Test).

This is just a gorgeous gorgeous set. Wouldn't know where to start to critique these (there are just so damn many of them)

Agree with John ... that last one is a little bit more than special. #1 & #2 plus the one take with the 15 Ltd would fill out my Top 4.

I love Cornwall, I took my (Chinese) wife there for a few days when we were over there last visting our daughter. She thought it was gorgeous too and adored the seafood !

#3 and #7 for me but I'd like to see the contrast upped a little in both and a little dodging done to the boats in #7. Sometimes silhouettes just work and sometimes just a little more detail can make a pretty good photo pretty damn wonderful.

Very nice set.

Here are some more that I hadn't heard of before (I knew the two above already) - shamelessly stolen from another site :-

Sigma 4.5mm Fisheye - Fishma
Sigma 10-20 - Wigma
Sigma 12-24 - Popeye
Sigma 50 f/1.4 - Sigmalux
Sigma 50-500 - Bigma
Sigma 150-500 OS - Bigmos
Sigma 300-800 - Sigmonster
Sigma 200-500 - Sigzilla
Sigma 150 Macro - Bugma
Sigma 24-70 HSM - Brickma

The Bigma is the Sigma 50-500. The 150-500 is called the Bigmos.

Very nice shots indeed - well captured !

You are more than likely looking at the big Canon/Nikon 500mm and 600mm lenses. No Pentax equivalent unless you can find a 250-600mm zoom (fabulous). All of those long lenses mentioned above will cost you your first born and at least one kidney.
