that's one hell of a saving, they're a bit off with the RRP as well.

Not a shoddy performer, just a shame the weather wasn't terribly bright, with a fast moving subject Auto ISO was pushed up to 2000, perhaps I should have selected a faster shutter speed.

But all in all, cracking performer. Photo is now in the gallery - Clan Line.

Thanks Neil

Haris! your timing is awful! Between the times of my trip to Cuba and Black Friday I had to go with what was available.... one week earlier I would have bought your lens rather than the FA*

Not that I am regretting buying the FA* though.........

yet I am still taking the DA*......

Take the 60-250mm, I imagine the weather sealing would be a bonus at this time of year.

Enjoy your trip
Thanks Mike

Lens arrived this morning. everything as it should be. photos don't do it justice. Itching to give it a try tomorrow. FA* collection up to 4 now.

Thanks Neil.

The one thing I do need now is the proper soft lens case for this lens.

Hmmm, 150-450mm or FA* 80-200mm .....

Can you do PX for a 15-30mm Chris?
Off to Cuba on Monday for 10 days so will miss the deals - the 150-450 is probably next on the list of acquisitions, but I've got the FA*80-200 now - just deciding on whether to take that or the DA*60-250 on the trip. I think the DA* will win on balance (it's actually physically shorter!)

Hei

Does someone know , this
HD DA 1.4x TC (Boxed) - £225

working in Sigma 300 APO, f4, tele makro ?

and pentax K5II

Thanks
Relevant link is missing!
BTW: that's a lot more than they used to sell for (got mine for £100 about 6 yrs ago ).
talking about lens or the TC?? I think £225 for the TC isn't bad (and I think it's newer than 2011 too)
