tamron 70-200

http://www.dpreview.com/news/0801/08013105sigma7020050150aps.asp

sigma 70-200

they are both "macro"... but only actually 1:3.5, dont be fooled.
Infact, the tamron is 1:3.1, if that interests you much
It also has a minimum aperture of F/32, rather than the Sigma's F/22. Again, if that interests you..
Though the Sigma has HSM, an obvious advantage.

Anyway, yes they are both available in pentax fit, as read.

Personally, I would just sell it, telling them the circumstances
the only problem is if they sell it on
Yes, it is perhaps illegal, but would they find out?

Thats a very good point Dan; I'd completely thrown that out of the window and not thought about it, after being so used to Channel Mixer.
Thanks!

First of all thanks Mike for placing me SECOND and not making us wait too loong and congrats to SoW.

Secondly, re: your comment "My only reservation lies in the stone – has it suffered with sharpening?"
No, definitely not from sharpening, the texture you are seeing is that of good old Cornish granite which has the speckled look.

I have tried revealing colour on mono in many ways, history brush, hand tinting etc; some more complicated than others, however a few days ago my friend who also has a K10D (but is very shy to come on this forum yet!) posted me this very easy method, so here to share with you all is the link, have fun!
cheers Lilly

Well I'm probably gona upgrade from my K100D in a few months when i have the money. The advantage of 2.5x the amount of pixels will actually affect my photos.. and so will the high noise reduction.

I dont care for liveview.

Yeah, I'm going to buy either the 360 or 540, I havent decided which. For what I want to be able to do (sometimes, not always), ill need the cables and hotshoe, so ill probably buy them when I feel like im lacking.. theyre about £60 more together, so it might be the 360 that I buy.

Right
So basically, I cant use it wireless on my K100D without two of them, and the way I would want to use it wireless (ie, hold it to the left of me, or something), it wouldnt be triggered anyway, so I would need the cable and hotshoe adapter.

I'm looking to buy a flash, and I've read that both the 360FGZ and the 540FGZ are wireless.. but then on the forums, read that you need a slave to set of the 360, I havent seen much about the 540.

Is there any way you can just hold the flash wireless (to get a different angle for the flash) or do you have to have a slave Or would I need to buy the hot shoe adapter and cord (around £60 )
