I am now slightly confused They are both meant to use HSM on Pentax (so they will only AF on the K10D and K20D) - they won't provide OS, though, within the lens.
Will the new Pentax fit Sigma 120 - 400 have the motor fitted in the lens :
If not, what advantages does it offer to Pentax users over the soon to be discontinued 135 - 400, which is presumably cheaper (price of the 120 - 400 is not yet known, but I assume will be higher) :

Yes, I have one, and it's a superb optic. I haven't used it recently but I'll try to dig out some pics taken with it next week.Quote:

Thank you for the information.
Having carried out a bit more research this morning I see that Sigma are due to release two new Pentax fit lenses 120 - 400 4.5 / 5.6 and 150 - 500 5.0 / 6.3 (both DG OS lenses).
Although theoretically HSM as well, I assume that the Pentax version will not have the motor.
They are listed on the Sigma site but not currently shown as Pentax fit, although Park Cameras list them as Pentax fit but with no price, as yet

I am just not that sure about the sepia effect.
I think that true b & w might be better.
Just my humble opinion.

Chris,
On my monitor the original looks 'terrible' and the re-edited version looks great

Mindyou I am currently viewing things on a 12" laptop screen which is hardly ideal. I'm in grey & cloudy Surrey at present and my nice monitor is in Rome.

I hope you won't be using a 12" laptop to carry out the judging for this week's competition :

The K10D is all I need in a camera . . . for now. Besides, I used my Super-A for nigh on 20 years, I think my K10D can last a while longer yet.
Agreed. The K10D is all I need in a camera . . . for now. Besides, I used my Super-A for nigh on 20 years, I think my K10D can last a while longer yet.
I used my Super A for twenty plus years before moving to the K10D.
The K10D seemed good value when I bought it Christmas 2006, but now it is a bargain.
