Well got the blood test results through today (5 months after having it done .. who said things are slow in Spain) so Finlay is booked for travel to the UK at the end of March (and so am I).
Bit sad as the sun is starting to shine now after a pretty poor winter and I really am not keen on coming back but the wife just doesn't seem happy about me staying here on my own with the dog.

Anyway, took this with the Sigma 70-200mm and 2X EX Sigma teleconverter attached.
Just thought it was a nice picture ...




Edit: Can't spill

£75 delivered, used a handful of times.

Can sort it out when I return to the UK tomorrow.

Better add, its the Pentax version, boxed with caps and hood.

I don't think it's right to preach at people when you don't have a decent excuse yourself.

It's Febuary here in Spain as well

Seriously, I would think -15 would certainly cause a problem or two.

Saying that, if it didn't happen with your K10D then maybe the cold is not such a problem.

Ok, so maybe cheap is slightly optimistic for a AF teleconverter (after looking on Ebay cheapest I could find is about £50 )but the idea is sound?

I am now thinking I have a TC in the UK that I bought ages ago for £10 which is not AF but does have all the "A" contacts.
Could be a cheap macro extension tube.

I was just thinking.
It is nigh on impossible to get a AF set of extension tubes and I know with macro you would probably not even have much use for them but if I were to buy a cheap AF teleconverter and cleanly knock out the glass would it work as such?

I had to take a breath while reading it so no, it doesn't seem ok.

It doesn't get anymore exciting once you are there though ...

Didnt Saverstore used to be Watford Electronics at one time?

I had a horrendous experience with that company years ago.

Lets hope so.

Good luck with your sale and new camera
