Apparently the 60-250mm works fine with no vignetting on a 35mm film camera. Seems Pentax are looking at FF some time in the furure.
I understood that the 60-250 is not a new design but an adapted older design :

Thank you for the tip off.

I have just ordered mine for collection tomorrow.

You are doing a great job documenting this issue.

Is the number of people living on the street growing and do they tend to be older and male :

Also are there now more younger people on the street :

As I have mine set up, each end is 375mm but you can virtually halve that amount by adjustment.

When using either of my cameras on a tripod (for macro work etc.) I normally disconnect the ends from each other or from the centre part so you just have an end hanging off each side of the camera, rather than a loop that can be annoying and get tangled around things.

I use Optech straps that disconnect the bulky , padded part of the strap from the two ends halfway down - not really what you are looking for but I find them very good and often have just the two ends and not the middle part for the reasons you mention.

My comment about my entry being handheld did not really relate to camera shake issues, since I chose a shutter speed to cover that point as davidtrout points out.

But it was windy and the real issue, standing on a windy shoreline was keeping the lens pointing at the relevant subject - I should have removed the lens hood to reduce the length and surface area

Digital Photo magazine (May 2009) ranked it 12th (last) in a review of wide-angle zooms. Sigma 10-20mm came top.

Discuss!
I think they must have transposed the results or have an unfortunate sight defect.
