Very nice Stefan, some excellent shots there.
Really fancy having a go at bikes myself.

I'm going to be borrowing a Sigma 150-500 for a few weeks soon, I wonder if that will be as good?

What airfield did you see the Reds at out of interest?

Rob

Will be interesting to see how you get on with the 150-500mm after whats been said about it by the last 2 members to buy one. The Airfield was Hurn international airport ... illusions of grandeur I think, it's only the size of a largish sized field

I guess this is when the real beauty of the bigma shines huh?

Not really Amin.
I took the Bigma (with the DA* 60-250mm just in case of rain) because I thought I would need the extra length but looking through I think I only took a couple at 500mm, most were around 250mm so I could have just taken the Pentax lens. Still quite impressed with the Sigma though.

The Red Arrows were based at my local airport this weekend as they were doing a display for the Isle Of Wight festival. Couldn't see the display last night as it was a bit far away but went to the airport this morning to see them take off. Nothing spectacular but my first proper plane shots. Pentax K10D and Sigma 50-500mm DG EX (Bigma).

A friend of mine, an ex motoring correspondent observed that when people asks him 'what is the best car?', that's not what they mean. What they mean is, 'tell me why my car is the best'

I don't have a car so what would he do if I wanted one and was enquiring which was the best?

As with the K10/K20D I think you will find it turn's itself off, i.e it senses when on a monopod or tripod like it does for panning shots.

Does it turn off on the K10D/K20D for panning shots?
You learn something new every day ....

As someone who has used a tripod once in over 12 months of having my K10D I have to say I wont miss the switch.

I have a 24mm and a 28mm .. I would prefer to keep the 24mm but am happy to sell the 28. Make me an offer

i would love to see a comparison of the da*300 with th 1.7x converter up against say my sigma 170-500mm apo dg or my 150-500mm apo dg hsm, the da* looks stunning,

I would take my Pentax F* 300mm f4.5 and 1,7x converter over my Bigma for quality on a good day but the Sigma wins hands down on convenience and the IQ is not THAT different.

Did you get the 150-500mm back now, is it better?
