I have the 135-400mm (DG APO version) and it's not a bad lens but it has creep. Someone told me the later versions had a lock on them but I have never seen one.
I am in negotiations with someone for a 50-500mm and if that works out my 135-400mm will be up for sale .. but it wont be until mid April.
If you want to see pics taken with it click on my flickr and do a search for 135-400mm.

HERE is the last DG APO in Pentax mount to sell on Ebay

Will be quite a bit cheper now Sigma have announced a constant f3.5 version with HSM (And I reckon the Pentax version should have it this time).

Tempting, but I think it would be a struggle to get it fixed if it goes wrong.

Play.com are excellent, I bought my son a Sony PSP for xmas when they first came out and had trouble with the battery not holding charge. They picked the console up FOC next day and delivered a new one the day after that.
Couldn't be happier with them.

is it my imagination or does that hotshoe have one more pin than the pentax set up, and the locking pin in a different position?

non compatible with pentax (or proof of a not yet released new model, if it is)?

It is the old Samsung Pro815's hot shoe and is not Pentax compatible.

I would be pretty concerned as well if I were getting the same results as your last picture with those settings.
There is nothing sharp in there at all.

I had what I thought was one of those fly over the house here in Spain the other day, I managed to grab one shot but it was so ruddy quick I never really stood a chance.
Looking at yours I am now wondering if I have identified mine wrongly so as you look have some knowledge of these things any chance you could tell me if it is or isnt?

Thanks.

Cropped to hell.
