Out of curiosity, how good is this lens?

As good as any macro lens I would say ... it's the extra reach that is the attraction to me. I was in the forest yesterday and there were loads of butterflys and insects in the thick hedges but I couldn't get close enough with my 90mm for a worthwhile shot whereas with 180mm it would have been no problem.

no sr but i have vc on my lenses,

Actually, joking aside, would be interested to see your shots taken with it when you have a few to show. A link would be good as you wont be allowed to post them here.

Do SIgma do a VR enabled 500mm zoom?

Oh thats ok then, was worried you would get dirt in it due to the inferior body seals.

Also dont get too nervous when doing the wedding, no SR with the D300.

LINK here with what Chris said about warranty, he has since repeated it with regard to a lens discussed on here.

The comment about "selling between forum members" also has me a bit intrigued - how does SRS know this, especially as many members don't use their real name for forum IDs ?

I would presume because, being a tight bunch we all ask for the free postage deal that forum members get

dead right sigam are sending me a new lens because my k20 is out of calibration apparently, and lenses can only be adjusted so many times, me thinks that is a load of coblers and the lens was a duffer,

If you were to take it in for a repair. and you have the original reciept, how will they know you are not the original buyer. Do they ask for ID :

I think SRS register each buyer/lens with Pentax to get the 2 year warranty so therefore they have the original buyers details.
