And the 55-300 is a 58mm thread too
Oh don't say that, I'm trying not to buy one after the purchase of my Sigma 135-400mm APO DG.

I bought a Sigma achromatic macro lens (filter) on Ebay the other day (58mm) for an idea I had which I then binned.
It arrived today and I realised it fitted on the 80-320mm so attached it and took a couple of shots.
First is uncropped, second is 100% crop .. not too shabby really.

Please post how much you want for it, I am sure if it's too expensive someone will be quick to jump on your price

Don't think we are able to edit posts after 20 mins now (mad if you ask me).
Love the first one, looks like something out of a futuristic apocalypse type film.

As my Spanish wilderness photos were so well received !!! the other day I thought I would share a couple more taken this morning with the M series 50mm F4 Macro.
For some reason this lens has a really bad habit over over exposing on the K10D.

Have you ever seen these guys right after they emerge from the shell and before they start to dry? I got one here of just that and I don't want to hijack the thread but I thought you might be interested.

I have no problem with people posting pictures on my threads, especially if they are as nice as that.
Cracking shot, looks like your deck rail is as good as our metal fence for attracting unusual insects.
