All this talk of the sigma 100-300mm and 1.4 tele has got me excited. I'm managed to procure one and am waiting for it to be delivered. Can't wait! If it is half as good as everyone says I will be a very pleased amateur photographer indeed.
Suffice to say I will be learning from Mike and keeping coffee well away...
I actually wouldn't bet against an HSM version being released as the price of the existing lens fell recently which could indicate them clearing the way for a new version. From what I understand the screw drive is pretty fast focussing though so I am happy.

At moment you don't see that many K-7s coming up for sale second hand.

Im surprised this took as long as it did to sell.
I will probably get another one some time in the future but for the moment I'm concentrating on other focal lengths (as you know)

Do that with a few lenses and see it's in all your images or just one that you can associate with a particular lens.
Edir: Or do what hefty suggests first

Oops sorry about that, yes I see what you mean, probably because I didn't resharpen.
Here is my second attempt

I know that details cannot be mentioned, but I would like an improved multi-point AI predictive tracking AF system (like Nikon's Multi-CAM3500DX) and faster (ring?) SDM motors.
Certainly something like an f/5.6 400mm would be most welcome and that probably could have been hinted at.
But never-the-less it was quite an interesting read.

She is very happy with it and has produced some very nice images with it.

I would say it's between the colour and Gareth's take on black & white, my slight preference is for the warmth of colour in this one.
Sometimes fields can look surprisingly 'yellow' (depending on light and the age of the plant growth) so for me the colour conversion looks fine. I agree with Mike's suggestion about a slight repositioning or crop though.
