I came back to the hobby with the old wisdom that it should say the same on the lens as it does on the camera so I dutifully bought Pentax lenses until I needed the extra mms and bought the 150-500. I also have recently acquired a 10-20 from John R and although I still have to get my head around it, but I have to say that I like Sigma lenses so far.

Now - about the new Bigma -

What happened Oggy?

It depend on what kind of abuse the lens gets.
I don't think any branch or normal English day should be ale to damage the lens. It's when something harder then the coating and something small that you should worry about, like sand for example like peter says or something corrosive like salt water.

I tried to put the kens cap on with the hood still on and fumbled it.

Be careful with this lens Richard. The images it produces are so sharp you can cut yourself.

Nice one Stefan - there IS a good use for a C***n - as hammer tester. The hammer in the film obviously failed.

Reckon mine could do better.

Sigh... I guess I'm a moron! Thanks Stefan! (I feel rather stupid right now, almost stupid enough to ask for the thread to be deleted, but it could serve some help to someone in the future).

Let he who is without cock-up cast the first smirk.

We've all been there mate.

(Except George possibly :wink

Still talking of monopods, I will be going to the RIAT airshow in a couple of months time. Is there any point in my trying to find a suitable tall monopod, given that I'll be using my old Pentax-F 100-300mm zoom and trying to keep shutter speeds down around the 1/125 or 1/250 area in order to avoid the "frozen rotors/props" effect on aircraft and helicopters?...

That's what I will be trying this year.

If it fails I shall stick to fast jets.

Not sure what the landscape will be like. I think images of pancakes come to mind!

K.

Perhaps a side trip to the famous Black Hills of Dakota?

Dakota?

Certainly Sir.

Clicky.

Nice

Don't Sandisk have a lifetime warranty?

Sandisk agreed to replace the card under their lifetime warranty, but here is the rub. The card has to be returned in a padded sealed packet using a signed for and tracked service and the nearest office to the UK turns out to be in the Czech Republic. Turnaround is quoted as 5 weeks minimum.

D'Oh!

My first move would be to clean the contacts on the lens mount with a clean dry tissue.
