Right, so far I've found it a nuisance as it gets in the way and can scratch your camera if you're not careful. Thanks!!

Hi,
I've just used my K7 with a cheap tripod I had. Yes it's flimsy and not good enough. On the top release clip where you screw into the bottom of the SLR there's another little metal protuding thingy which I covered up with sellotape to avoid scratching?? I don't see it's purpose.
Have ordered a Manfrotto Tripod.

Lovely images! I've just bought a Pentax K7 with an 18-55mm Kit Lens and also the Sigma one you have used here.

Whilst I agree that it is not a 'special' lens I think it is much better than ok.

I'd love to know how I push it up to 6400
