I just phoned my local independant camera shop to enquire about the sigma and tamron lenses and the person there told me that these two macro lenses would not be suitable for a digital pentax camera when using for macro work. He said that they are full frame lenses and this would mean that I wouldn't get the same macro results on my camera.
Can anyone shed any more light on this for me please?
Choose a different shop. The person who served you has little knowledge of the equipment he/she is selling and for that reason I would not buy from them.

Given those results, it's not a lens I would part with, whatever it is .

Brings back memories . . . bad ones. I switched my heating off . . . in early February.

Can you list here what you have left if it hasn't gone on ebay yet?

Greedy landlords is one answer.

Whatever happened to Clarky?

Sean, it might have been better to have started a new thread as this one that you've dug up is over 3 years old.

However, you should have no trouble using this combination hand held.

My only advice is, use partial lighting on one side or the other to create some modelling effect (light shadows).

I posted that but deleted it as Steven had already included the link in his.
I didn't see that.

It's actually been very windy lately, 25.6Km/H from the West right now. The 21 degrees that my weather station is reading feels more like 15/16 degrees outside.

Good result overall then. Glad it's sorted.
