For Pentax - it's the ME winder for my P50.

For the Nikon - just last weekend a Nikkor 105 Micro VR. Which means my Sigma 180 macro will be going for sale...unfortuntely Nikon's latest D810 firmware update makes the lens inoperable and Sigma wanted £50 to update it. I asked whether they could change the mount from F to PK and they say they only do these now with the latest Art/Sport/Complimentary lenses A 180 macro in PK fit is worth a hell of a lot more than an F mount version...

I recognise the waterfall, as might a few folk on here - Skogafoss

You might have a willing buyer lined up in the forum Mike.

It will be a tremendous shame if you leave the Pentax stable, but I guess the lack of visibility of new and improved Pentax cameras doesn't entice you to remain completely loyal....

Great lens on K-1 - £180 is a steal!

Should've gone today - the light in Llangollen around 4.50 - 5.00 pm was absolutely magical.

as are the "larger"150-500 & 50-500 Sigmas
I had the 150-500 Sigma which made way for 2 lenses - 1 I have (Nikkor 80-400) and 1 I still want (DA 150-450)... you need a lot of room in front of you with the Sigma...basically you need about 8-10 square feet of clear space in front of you at an air show as it was such a long lens - I only used it once at and air show (Shoreham 2015, before the crash) and altough I found a space people encroached on MY SPACE, only to wince when they where whacked with a lens hood during panning. I did remind them that I was already in the space....the Sigma also called for a monopod.... So a 55-300 or 80-320 FA is adequate if you don't want the burden of a huge lens.

That looks immaculate - I'd been afraid to take it out of the house. I do have the DA* though.

London/SE-based photographers can always go to Brentford for it's one and only attraction - Asahi Photo lurks there, with Pramath doing repairs and servicing.

Glad you were able to get a replacement - the 60-250 is a lovely lens.

Do what I did and buy the FA* 28-70 and FA*80-200 lenses, and maybe an FA-J 18-35 or Sigma EX 15-30 or 17-35 to get the coverage but not the weight training.

Even though I also have a D810 (same sensor) different camera and different purpose - I enjoy photography more with the K-1, the Nikon lacks Mojo.
