Quite a few lenses manufactured by Sigma will show the same ID in exif. Sigma reverse engineers all their products to avoid having to buy manufacturers "codes", so they use the same ID for some lenses.
It might also be due to Pentax unwillingness to sell their codes to third parties.
Sorry Yves - not in the example I quoted. There was a problem, the lens remained unchanged, the photo remained unchanged but Photome was updated, and the problem was solved. That means that either Sigma did not tell Photome the lens code, or Photome had a wrong interpretation of it.Quite a few lenses manufactured by Sigma will show the same ID in exif.

Some cracking stuff there Rob - the Lysander is one of my favourites and I haven't seen it for ages.
One thought though - it looks to me as if you have posted photos over 800 pixels wide and the forum software has re-sized them. This has resulted in aliasing (staircase effect on straight lines). You might get a better effect if you re-sized them before you post them.

I'm biased (:wink as I'm not a Sigma fan since owning several of their lenses and being dissatisfied with all of them.
Do we know this for a fact Richard?Sigma use the same code for several of their lenses, I think it's because they just copy stuff rather than licence it, some of their lenses report as Pentax lenses.

It is frequently said that the problem with last year's version of Photome not recognising the Sigma 150-500 or incorrectly reporting it as a 70-210 or whatever was a Sigma problem.
On updating Photome, the lens is reported correctly, even on old photographs, so the problem was with Photome's lens name lookup table and not the lens.

Just go to back to my original post, am I the only person here who finds it amazing it will be possible to put 2 TB on a card that small ? The micro SDCX card is just 15mm x 11mm x 1mm.
Perhaps I'm just getting old. When I went to secondary school our computer science department consisted of one Commodore PET 2001, which only the brightest students were allowed near. (I was not among them !)

Amin - could you confirm the price on the Pentax tc?
I know they fetch good prices and I am interested, but that seems a little steep.

Apologies if this point has already been made, but the results are skewed. It shows the number of people that have or have not had problems with SDM lenses. It does not take into account how many SDM lenses people have.
