Now you mention it I realise I was just too immersed in just getting the subject sharpened.
As I was told a few times when I first started macro shooting, it's not just about how close or sharp you can get .. the subject/background has got to be interesting as well.

I like the description he has on the 50mm f1.4.

I’ve got fix price because the lens is new, it was used only once. I bought it on 30.01.2009 (see pict.) and my price is just £ 10 less then I paid.

As if to say you may as well go and buy it new with warranty for and extra £10

I am just unlucky, thats why I dont do the lottery any more, they dont give anything for no numbers.
If I remember correctly the daily play lets you have a free go is you get no numbers.
You could be playing for years

i can't tell, is it for Pentax or Nikon?
The title of the auction reads:-

Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX AF for Pentax/Samsung

Can you tell what it is yet?
I can't .. in his description:

It's an old model - no DG. Additional information - it is for Nikon mount (Min Aperture f/45) but for Pentax fiting is f/32

I wouldn't pay too much notice of a magazine review if I was you
I'm not, I was making a comment that it looks a bad review .. you may know its a good lens as may I but there are a lot of people out there that buy this type of magazine when looking to buy their first DSLR and that is not going to do Pentax any favours considering they are probably leaning towards the big three to begin with.

Its all very well saying you take this and that with a pinch of salt and all magazines are biased towards Canon, Nikon and (to a lesser degree) Sony but at the end of the day someone reads these articles and takes notice.

Whats the justification for these outrageous price hikes.: Has the bottom fallen out of the pommy pound.
Basically yes .. about 30% against the Dollar and the Euro.
