I think you've summed that up very well Nigel.

Prices are in the VFM section of the review. Yes, 95mm....but in the past no filters could be used on such wide lenses. I doubt they are needed now, but if they are then thin ones are best to avoid any cut off.

Also worth checking the usual things - is exposure compensation engaged, are the lens and body electronic contacts free of grease or dirt, are all the pins OK on the mount, is the problem there with all lenses and so on.

It makes very nice small postcard prints, ideal for sending people cards from holiday! They are pricey to run though and I think it would be better to save up the prints needed and have a bulk lot done somewhere like Costco. It will be easy and the cost much, much lower.

It lists three available mounts. It only gives the Canon and Nikon weights.

It is listed as being made in Pentax K, but it's a new lens and availablity may take a while. It's well worth the money.

Pentax do not guarantee correct reporting of the info with other manufacturers' lenses. In the case of Sigma it's been understood that they "reverse engineer" their Pentax fit lenses rather than getting the info from Pentax, so old lenses may not report correctly to newer bodies. It's possible Sigma might be able to re-chip your lenses where needed.

Please note that several entries have had to be deleted because they were not shot in November 2016. Just to remind all entrants, please make sure entries for the monthly competition are shot in the month of the competition.

Many thanks!

The point is that it's now surging ahead again, which has to be a good thing?
