I have here a Sigma 500mm f/4.5 EX APO lens that I'm about to sell, but in the meantime I've been checking it out. It is a remarkable lens for wildlife, large but not too heavy, very fast AF and nice limited DOF at wide apertures.

I like these two shots in particular and the rest are on my EPZ blog.

Shots were with the K-5, at the Janet Kear hide at Martin Mere.

I think they were winding you up, surely nobody can be that unobservant and be a photographer at the same time!

Chris from SRS is looking into it on the other thread on this subject, so the answer should be with us soon.

PayPal may be the safest route, but do be cautious about asking people to send you the money as a gift, when clearly it's a purchase. That could come unstuck if PayPal notice.

In any event, I personally would never label anything a gift unless it was actually so.

As for steadiness, it's a real problem, but a solid tripod and remote release could be one way of getting around it.

The error has been corrected.

The aircraft window is not only part of the optical system, but also smeared, abraded and maybe or maybe not clean. It's not an optically perfect view and it's a bit like using a filter of unknown properties and quality on the front of the lens.

We know that some lenses don't like filters very much, so some will be better than others shooting through plane windows. Maybe the higher the resolution of the sensor the more it shows up these defects.
