Good close focus, good sharpness, reasonable bokeh, what's not to like:

All hand held and wide open, with the new K5IIs at a local bit of wild meadow, very early this morning

Only just noticed your reply Cabstar! I'm brassic if I had a tenner you'd get it but not right now I'm afraid

Posting out all my Nikon gear has cleaned me out, I knew postal prices had risen but they really ought to wear masks

Not sure whether to post here or in classifieds but I need one for a DA* 50-135mm
A: anyone got one?
B: If not, anyone know where I can get one? It's not listed as a spare on SRS etc or Pentax UK.
C: Are they the same size in every Lens Hood?

50-500 50-180CM
150-500 220CM

Potentially a huge difference Mike and something I may not have even bothered to check on, ta!

I'll take a close look at the Specs, it's looking horribly like most of my Lenses will be Stigma... Sorry Sigma

Before anyone kicks off, I like Sigma, Customer service is brilliant, just like their Lenses

Thanks Mike, and Belated congrats on the 10000 up!
I'd love to have that much shared knowledge under my belt, I guess I'll actually have to stay around this time

Sort of carrying on from this topic a few below:

https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/sigma-150-500--os-or-non-os-42300

Looking at the MTF scores on the Sigma UK Website it looks like a no Brainer, until you realise that the 50-500 MTF's are read at 50 and 150mm not 500

http://www.sigma-imaging-uk.com/lens/telephoto-lens/apo-50-500mm-f45-63-dg-os-hs...

I must admit i have a pretty hard time believing that the 50-500 will outclass the 150-500 at the long end despite all it's fancy glass,
So then opinions people, do I get the 10x Zoom or the three and a bit times zoom, which is best???

FIIGGHHHTT!
