I get quite a few used lenses and the Pentax ones survive much better. The Sigma ones do tend to be a bit looser with wear and quite often I've found rubber focusing and zooming rings becoming unpleasantly sticky.

The 300mm f/4 Pentax lens has a very fine reputation and I'd stick with that.

I've removed a couple of comments - please restrict comments in Classified Ads to the buying/selling process.

If anyone wants to negotiate on price then by all means, but most prefer to do that by PM.

The DC motors have proved to be quick and reliable. I expect that each lens is kitted out in a way appropriate to its design. It will be interesting to see if DC replaces SDM in all future lenses.

That's a great set of images and I wouldn't think much improvement would be possible. I'd be very pleased with all of these.

It is of course a 70-200mm, and no doubt it will be fantastic when it arrives. I don't see the need for the negativity, especially as so much has happened and continues to happen in the world of Pentax.

It became active again because a spammer put a post in it. That sent out notifications, so although the post has gone, here we all are!

I don't routinely look at B&H, they kept telling me things were discontinued that were not. SRS is a more reliable site for what is available in the UK.

Having said that, lots of interesting older items still crop up as new in various places, but they come and go so we need to keep watching. Even places like Asda can surprise us at times.

We're quite happily waiting as if it's a blockbuster of a full frame camera we might have to find a large amount of cash for it. So no rush! Our K-5 bodies are still giving very good service, so there's no imperative to upgrade until one fails.

It's actually a good place to be. The cameras get good solid use and there's none of that "it's new, treat it with kid gloves" feeling. If it's raining, it gets wet, no fears there.
