Since I'm also looking for a printer can I add a question please?
Do either of the above printers also offer greyscale inks for b/w printing?

You need to put your photos online somewhere - either your own website or try www.photobucket.com or similar.
Photobucket allows hotlinking, and even provides the URL with tags for you to use once you hae your photos there. Not all photosharing sites allow hotlinking.

To special order, how about the SMC Pentax-FA* 600mm f4, just the thing if you want to lug around a 7kg lens!
A mere lightweight compared to the Sigmonster at 15.7 kg. http://www.dpreview.com/news/0801/08013101sigma250500.asp

But I wouldn't want to carry either of them.

If I could afford the Pentax I could afford to pay a porter to carry it for me

If you just want to resize your photos for posting here or elsewhere on the web try Irfanview. It is free and easy to use. www.irfanview.com

Clarky, it doesn't bother me either -it's a bit like a ping-pong match that's all.
BTW you should still get an e-mail notification even if pop-ups are blocked.


PS I hope after all this PMing you've managed to sell the lenses!
I was tempted, but am going to hang on till I can get a *

Well I for one would happily hang it on my wall.
The three photos relate well to each other and balance each other. Well done!

OT: I hope you didn't get too blown about by the sou'wester today! I nearly had a branch on my head when walking the dogs

The 70-200 will work on the K10D as that supports SDM. HSM is just the Sigma name for it. The lens doesn't work with non SDM AF cameras.
Of course you have to hope that Sigma have got their reverse engineering right on it. I would wait for a review or two before investing.

I think it is only these two that will (maybe) work with SDM http://www.dpreview.com/news/0801/08013105sigma7020050150aps.asp
If the camera (like the Ds, or K100) can't use SDM then you have an expensive manual focus lens.

You would certainly need a porter or two to carry the (really ugly )200-500 2.8 @15.7kg.
Why green?????yeuk. You could get stopped at security with that - they'll msutake it for a piece of military equipment
