No suntan, not me ....

Pentax-K 500mm f4.5 on EBAY.
I get reasonable results with my Pentax-K 300mm f4 so I should think this must be at least as good, a lot of people don't like non A lenses but im quite happy to use them.

Quite fancy it myself actually, not sure if the price is ok or not though.

Sorry to say this but if I am doing a landscape type picture (Which is actually very rare) I will always wait until there are no people in the shot if at all possible because I am trying to show the area itself and people in it would only detract from that.

Still not sure where the saying "pulled the trigger" actually came from (although I can make a pretty decent guess)and personally hate it myself but anyway.

Well done, sure you will be a lot happier knowing it came from a decent dealer, I presume Pentax got back to you about backdating the cashback then?

Oh, obviously it wasn't THAT good after all then because I thought it was a wet leaf

I presumed it meant any NEW focal length Pentax mount lenses

When I bought a job lot of lenses and other bits off a seller in the USA (including my Vivitar 100mm f2.8 macro lens) there was a set of Ricoh bellows included.
Decided to have a play with them, hand held with an old 50mm macro lens attached.
Heres the one and only shot (uncropped)that was somewhere near in focus

Chris, off the USA Pentax forum HERE
Quote: I called sigma today to get info on the 120-400 HSM lens and they told me they put it on the back burner for now,. They said that they are for the time being done with Pentax mount lenses.. When I asked why, they said they already have the largest selection of third party lenses and with Pentax NOT coming out with full frame, they need to turn their attention to the full frame market

Are we getting it and not the yanks or is someone wrong here, I want to put my 135-400mm on Ebay before the 120-400mm becomes available but if its not coming out then I would rather keep the one I have.

Thanks.

Some really nice shots there but have to agree with Clarky, first one is quite special.

Welcome back btw

In that case I think a percentage of his profit should be mine for the idea
