"The 40D always locks on focus to anything in any light"
If unsure about Canon V Pentax focusing just ask the technicians at Sigma for there unbiased opinion."The 40D always locks on focus to anything in any light"
They have more problems with Canon than any other camera using their lenses, just because the 40D focuses fast does not mean it is accurate every time.

Next time you walk down a street with loads of others just look at some of them, and ask yourself, who was that labeling aimed at I bought some mixed nuts and raisins and it not only said: "Warning, contains nuts" but also said "this product has been packed in a factory that handles nuts" - treats us like nuts more like!
Or read some of the adverts on Ebay.
See what I mean

Play.com work on very similar line to Amazon , and I would have no problems buying from them as I have done from many “on line” sellers I have even bought from China with out any problems at all
The only place I have had any problems with would you believe is the USA And that is not just once, also not the same place I may add.

Sadly I don’t use it now , just sits in my lens draw.

There was some crap put out under the old Series 1 I've got a 28-105mm zoom that's not very good and won't focus beyond about 50ft, paid quite a lot for it new about 1990.

But then there was also the 70-210mm and the 105mm f2.5 macro which are absolutely superb and still hold their own today.There was some crap put out under the old Series 1 I've got a 28-105mm zoom that's not very good and won't focus beyond about 50ft, paid quite a lot for it new about 1990.

I had Amateur Photographer delivered they sent it to the wrong address for several weeks (their fault)Heres a link to AP in the shops from Tuesday, and click Magazine at the top of this forum under Pentax User, joining details etc.
link For AP Mag
When I finally got it delivered to my address they did add a couple of extra ones one to the contract time but it cost me loads of phone calls etc, so I cancelled the subscription .
I am still getting them delivered even though they should have finished sending them 6 weeks ago .
I am not getting on the phone again, they are just a bunch of Jessops ! (A new terminology) for idiots.
Also the magazine is just adverts and the are all out of date buy up to 3 weeks because that is when the advertising has to be in by.
I also have Pentax user excellent , but you will have to decide for your self as if you ask 10 people on this forum they will more than likely say different ones

Hi John, The nearest was Tamron with the addaptal range, they even bought out "metering" contacts on some mount fittings.

As for lenses, I use them to weigh down my bags when I hang them under the tripod.
Something to do with being married I'm told.
