Mike and Amin, what about using a monopod instead of a tripod?

A/ More advanced I would say.....
Well either it is or it isn't , surely it's not a difficult question to answer.

I spoke to Sigma this morning and apparently they are bringing one out but are unsure when. Fat lot of good really, oh well
I have been in contact with Sigma about that every 2 months and each time they tell me Sigma Japan have said they will be releasing it in Pentax mount but have not given a date.

Great shots Mike
Did you take these ones handheld or on a tripod?
I wonder why they dont show any EXIF on the photo when I right click on it. Usually I am able to see as I am using firefox.
Thanks
Amin
All my shots are handheld, I very very rarely use a tripod as I just find it too much hassle (which is why I probably bin a lot of shots).
I am not sure why but Flickr strips the Exif in all but the original size.

There was some crap put out under the old Series 1 I've got a 28-105mm zoom that's not very good and won't focus beyond about 50ft, paid quite a lot for it new about 1990.

Im pretty sure Vivitar bought out the Series One range twice, the first time being very good and the second total rubbish.

Looks like they are going to release some sort of upgrade to the K20D then, I was beginning to wonder.

You need the genuine Pentax Adapter K, which sells for just under £20.00

This lens is NOT fully compatible with automated features on DSLRs, lacking as it does an A setting on its aperture ring.
It's stop down metering only.
