Moon shot with this lens. I want one
I'd really like to be there when you try and justify that purchase to your financial advisor.

"That's right dear, I want to spend almost £10000.00 to take a nice picture of the moon".

If you add a 1.7x T/C, multiply by the 1.5x crop factor, it comes out to a whopping 3060mm. That's not a lens, it's a telescope.

Isn't the Sigma 10-20mm lens full frame?

Is anyone here using an AF400T flash with a K20D? Will it damage my camera?
I have used one in the past but sold it.

Others here use it.

No it won't damage your camera unless the flash falls on it from a great height.

You are only 12 inches tall and it was looking for lunch?

Welcome to the forum Stuart.

I'm sure if any member here has what you are looking for and is willing to sell it, you'll hear from them.

. . . and to buy stuff, or snap up freebies before we regulars get a chance.

Can I suggest a similar restriction to that which is imposed on new users regarding PM's.

I think, new users should not be allowed to make purchases or snap up freebies from this forum until they've made at least an X number of posts.

If the items offered are also on ebay, new users should take their chances there where at least everybody has the same chance of winning.

If it's a metal filter thread it's a relatively easy DIY fix. If it's plastic I wouldn't bother.

My 50mm Macro had a damaged (metal) filter thread but I managed to straighten it enough to enable filters to screw on easily.

There are specialist pliers available of different radius curves to fix dings in filter threads, but you can improvise, just be careful not to damage the front element.
