Got the Sigma 105mm from SRS yesterday. Not had a chance to use it in anger yet (other than a few uninspiring test shots outside the shop), but hope to get some nice shots in over the bank holiday (weather permitting).
Also came away with a Sigma 10-20mm, but managed to resist the Pentax DA* 50-135mm (just).
EM
Mine arrived yesterday.
I have posted a few test shots in the Photos section.
p.s. Don't resist the DA* 50-135 for too long

I always thought that the computer section was particularly poor on the old site

Excellent, speedy and fair judging from Lilly with so many entries so determined to wander well off theme
For me, the photographs from Addis and Lome both stood out.

I have the k100 D I am very happy with the camera overall but find if I am not very careful when framing uprights such as corner of buildings or posts then there is a tendency for them to come out leaning to one side in the image. Also you need to be careful when shooting the sea against the sky line as this also tends to look odd if care is not taken to get the line dead plumb. I know this question has been asked before on other forums but thought I would throw it into the pot and see if anyone here had this problem.
Shooting using a tripod would be one obvious answer.
What should be vertical or horizontal is very often a matter of debate on the forum.
A straightforward junction between the sea and the sky is one thing but once perspective comes into play, horizontals and verticals are much more difficult.

Nice shots Hyram. We don't get too many snails in my garden.
Put that Macro at the top of your LBA list, you'll never regret it
Different level of cost of course

"Good afternoon".
"Vegetation at last".
Apparently one of them had travelled all the way from Cornwall
Unfortunately the lurid green of the cover in the second photo is accurate, I toned it down a bit in the first photo.

The railings are the only redeeming feature
