Mike, almost forgot, and just remembered because you commented on the lightness of the focus ring. I found the Zoom ring of the 150-500 pretty hard and non delicate, in fact pretty rigid. Is that common on these big boys?
The 70-200mm f2.8 is much better as it is internal, not sure on the 100-300mm f4 but I would presume its the same as the 70-200mm.

Manual focus is not easy because the ruddy tripod collar is right in the way but on the plus side its so light you can move it with just your little finger.

As for which is best out of the A* 300mm f2.8 with 2X-L teleconverter and Sigma 50-500mm with 1.4X I have to say the Pentax looks to be quite a bit better but I will give them a proper test in the next few days.
The Sigma is excellent quality considering the zoom range though plus having the zoom feature itself makes it a very good lens indeed.

Just had a look and the EXIF data says flash didn't fire on that shot.

How about a DSLR without the hopeless built in flash?

Who would you prefer to deal with if the camera went wrong after a couple of months, a pro dealer like SRS who, from what I can see bend over backwards to help out their customers .. or a chain like Currys (or whever the one year deal is with).

I'm sure I should be able to walk past this (and flakes as well) but I can't.
