i also find that the 170-500mm is quicker focusing,
Not sure that is right either, thought the idea of HSM was silent and faster focusing.

Thats a huge difference Scott, especially on the text shots.
The 150-500mm is certainly inferior to the older 170-500mm by quite a margin, having to use f10 just to get a useable picture is not good imo.

Saying that, my MKI Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 APO EX is far superior to the new HSM models as well.

Want to borrow my 50-500mm?
Personally I don't think it would do any better than the 170-500mm you have there, looks a very sharp lens indeed .. even wide open.

Managed to get a grip this morning for collection in the Poole store, with 5% discount £43 .. means a 13 mile trip but worth the ride.

Just call it a challenge
I sold a lens early last week and made sure the wife got to post it so when my new DA* 60-250mm arrived friday I told her I traded it on the forum for the lens she posted earlier in the week

Well she seemed happy I got rid of one before replacing it.

Apparently the 60-250mm works fine with no vignetting on a 35mm film camera. Seems Pentax are looking at FF some time in the furure.
