All taken with K10D and Sigma 135-400mm DG APO, apart from the last which was the Tamron 90mm manual focus SP f2.8 macro.

Everytime someone advertises a grip for the K10D I try to justify to myself why I should buy it ..... hmmmmmm

I have the chance to buy the above lens from a seller in Australia for just over £500 including insured shipping.
Has anyone had any dealings with the lens and if so what was your thoughts on it?
Also, is this a fair price.?

Thanks.

Edit reason : I can't spell.

The grasshopper would have been a cracking shot if the focus was just shifted on the eyes more. You were so so close.
Lighting looks just about right as well.

If you are using a shallow DOF I would suggest dumping autofocus and going manual (if you aren't allready).

First one taken this morning in the forest, Tamron 90mm manual focus macro lens. HDR attempt take a bit later at a park in Alicante with DA 16-45mm (3 shots bracketing -2).
Flower shot also taken with 16-45mm, I must say this lens does give some very nice results (when I remember to use it).

Well after that lot I wouldn't be suprised if it was his one and only post.
Saying that it looks as though he is another Pentax user moving on to a different brand anyway.

He did give me his Ebay username where the grip and other items are listed but I held back posting that as it was sent via pm and I had no idea if he would want it posted publicly.
His feedback is excellent though ...
