I really like the Red Arrows in widescreen, totally different way of looking at them.

I hope you got a good price for it, as one of the very few teleconverters that work with SDM they are worth bucket fulls of cash (well ok, that may be a slight exaggeration).

I never use mine but wouldn't part with it .. just in case

The K-7 is supposedly weather sealed and will work down to -10 degrees so get out there NOW

You have a duty as the first official K-7 owner.

Maybe Chris let him have to K-7 on condition he pushes it on the forum at every available opportunity

Thanks for the comments, they seemed a very friendly bunch of blokes even if they did swagger over looking like something out of Top Gun

Its a pretty special lens Amin, my mate was there with his Nikon D90 and was pretty impressed with it especially as he says Nikon do nothing like it in their range.

The 50-135mm arrived Friday but not had much chance to play with it, there is a soapbox derby race here at the weekend through the town centre so that will be the ideal time .. especially if its raining.

I didn't buy the K20D as my K10D was a used purchase which I bought just at the end of its life and being new to a DSLR I didn't want to pay loads of money for something I may never have used much. Since then I have got into it much more than I thought I would and have considered a upgrade a few times in the last few months but to be honest I didn't consider the K20D enough of a jump to warrant the extra expense.

The K-7 however is another thing entirely but I have learned through my life (being a gadget lover) that its best to leave things to settle for a few months before buying.

Saying that, had the UK price been anywhere near the price paid in Australia I would have bought one straight away.

Congrats, bring on the pics

Very nice Amin, love the ball of water on the last one.

Well I have been using the bigma a lot lately and the 60-250mm hasn't got a look in since I bought it so As the Red Arrows were in and out of the local airport today I thought I would give it a blast.

First 3 were with the Bigma and the rest were with the 60-250mm.








































I must say this lens really does show it's class on outdoor portrait type shots.

Had a look and realised I hadn't applied any sharpening to the pic when I did the Lightroom work.

Here it is sharpened.
