I hope it warms up by mid May when I'm over next.

If the camera retailers make soooo much money, why are so many going out of business?

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.
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.

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?
