Well he did get one bit right the Crappy Canon, I did try one a friend had, how Canon had the nerve to market it, beats me, but people bought it like Lemmings, by the way he bought a K200 and loves it, you could not prise it out of his hands now.

He has seen it done it, it's the label thing, the kids today all want the latest "label" not if it is any good, the add men have done the "brain washing" bit.
It's like cars they would not buy a car with the wrong badge on the front, because of image.
Sad isn't it.

Even the Nikon D300 body has gone up £300, My mate has started crying, he wanted one as an upgrade for his D200.
Well he won't be told he is throwing his money away, He likes my Pentax K20 but says he could not use it for doing weddings etc, as he has an "image" to live upto me thinks "Prat"

Thanks Daniel - good point - I'll bear that in mind. Never thought of using my polariser with my Macro Lens.

I'll look into those ghostless filters - sounds interesting.

Cheers

Not sure if somebody mentioned that already, but maybe somebody could be interested, saw today in the Oxford Street (London) branch they have a bunch of pentax fit sigma 70-300 for 67 pounds.
If it is not the APO version not so cheap, and not so good,some one on Ebay is flogging the Apo versions with no Warrantee, I wonder if they are "B" grades.

Hi Amin The 55-300mm will give you better results, with the 100mm ok, but you will have less stepping forward and back to frame the shot.

Is this the one you mean? link


Gosh, the price, hehehe.
Are you sitting back on your chair Amin
The best advice I can give you is stick with the lenses you have learn the "ropes" try taking images with what you have.
I noticed all of the shots that you took of the birds were done with the 100mm at f2.8, experiment at "closing" the lens down abit to get an even better depth of field, (DOF) you may find even better detail.
Not many lens give the best wide open, give it a go, and just see what happens.

I have my F* 300mm f4.5 which I love but sometimes it is just too restrictive and I take along the Sigma 135-400mm instead, but the quality is just not as good obviously.
It just depends what you want really.

I am (hopefully)in the process of buying a 50-500mm Sigma EX which should happen in April (I dont want to send money to someone I don't know and obviously he doesn't want to send the lens so we will meet up when I return to UK).
Hi Mike, Start the body building, now if you are going down that route,I had a 50-500mm ex, a very good lens but with my problems not practical, I went for the 150-500mm purely for the ballance.
On the EX lens you will find the image quality better especialy on larger apertures.
best of luck.
