Nice composiotions Mike but they all look very dark to me. I can see no shadow detail at all. Was that intentional?
The one in my gallery was processed before this (I did it again after putting it on there) and the comment there was that perhaps it could do with a bit more contrast which I did agree with.

The DA*60-250 is a very big lens. It is fast at focusing and bright. Unfortunately it has a major design flaw. The tripod mount interfered with the opperation of the zoom ring. I was not the only one to note this and it was generally agreed that it would be removed by anyone thinking of buying it.
Bloody annoying it is as well.
I am quite looking forward to a proper review of the finished article, my Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 may well be up for sale if the Pentax is as good as expectations. It's going to have to be pretty much spot on at f4 though.

C&C welcome as I am a complete novice where this stuff is concerned so a few pointers are always handy.

Taken a couple of shots out of the window about 120feet away hand held i can see clearly the screw slot on a screw, even where it was slightly "chewed"

How do you get on with the 135-400?
When I get it right then it produces decent shots.

As it's HSM I presume the Sigma TC's will not work with it?

Unfortunately not had a chance to do much with it (brought the 16-45mm back as well) but will have a go tomorrow.
I must admit I put it on the K10D and thought they had sold me a faulty lens at first ... ruddy thing wouldn't focus.
It's my first SDM lens .. I didn't realise they were THAT quiet.

My first findings with the 150-500mm wide open very disappointing, soft as hell but closed down a bit at f8 it starts to get much better
one annoying bit the lens hood once fitted is near impossible to get off.
