I'm glad I posted this thread...so as I have an SRS receipt for the used lens I recently purchased they will definitely, 100% honour the warranty?

according to Chris as long as the deal is done between 2 forum members he will honour the warranty. Good job he did as well otherwise Scott would be totally stuffed with his Sigma 150-500mm.

I have 74 of these lenses. Would have happily swopped it for a free film body.
I did actually have a Pentax film body (bought off Ebay just for the lens) up unil a week ago when it went in the bin during a clearout

Well someone may be chucking one in the bin, in which case I would happily give it a home.

As I said, they have it for £290 .. brand new.
I would be looking to buy a used one somewhat cheaper.

Do you know, I do loads of macro stuff and I have no idea what is classed as macro and why. Not sure if you have to use a macro lens or the magnification has to be a certain size.

Very nice pictures anyway ....

I'd still rather have the 1.4x converter to go with my DA*300mm which would give me a 420mm F5.6 lens at a cheaper price.
Maybe this is the reason the 1.4x converter disappeared when the super tele appeared on the roadmap

Yes, I would tend to agree with you Steve, or even a 2.0x converter?
In my experience 1.4x/1.7x is about the right compromise with a teleconverter, anything more seems the effect IQ just too much.

If you are prepared to come down in price let me know asap as I will probably be ordering one otherwise.

Whoever he was aiming it at makes no difference.
The thread has now basically changed from one that was quite interesting to something that is getting rather ugly imo.

I never used it again after the initial post but I am still happy to look at pictures where others have. Personally I can't see a problem with anyone getting a bit of enjoyment out of playing with digital effects on their work but then maybe I am just not serious enough about photography.

Or maybe other just take things too seriously ....
