Not fussed about the autofocus Alan but I fancy the macro.

I do have the 55-300 - got 2 kit lenses with the K-X.

I've also bought the M 135mm and the A 35-105 f3.5 from Ebay. I probably need to investigate the 35-105 a bit further to be honest. I tried it a few times when I first got it and the focusing didn't seem to be right - the ring was showing that it was at a focusing distance of a few feet when I was focusing on a hill a couple of miles away.

I've no problem with the processing on any of the entries. Some lovely shots already.

Decided to go for the Sigma which was on the 2nd hand section of SRS but itby the time I went back in it had gone. The Samsung is 275 on ebay with Park - which Pentax does it equate to?

Afternoon Folks

Major discussion point for me is that the hash key on this keyboard is broke hence the title being "No 188".

Any discussion regarding the subject of Isolation can take place here.

Can't comment on the Sigma - had planned to get one but I picked up an F28 for £100 and I have to say I like it. Not the greatest build quality imo but I think its quite sharp wide open - this shot was just playing about to see what it was like - wide open at f2.8 and hand held at 1/6th. It would no doubt have been a bit sharper if I could have been bothered to get the tripod out.

I'd guess that 105mm is a bit limiting for landscapes. I use 58mm as it's the best lens I have and its a bit long some times. I'm looking to start panoramic stitching 58mm images to create some bigger images.
Sometimes I just want a little bit of the landscape - the 10-20 can sometimes make a good view disappear and occasionally even the 50 is too wide. I have a F 28mm which is quite handy and I'm starting to use it on longer walks or on wet walks where its easier to keep hidden away in a waterproof section of my bag.

Cheers folks - just need to work out what a decent price will be. I'll look at the Park Cameras site as well for the Samsung.
