This reminds me of those three dimensional images that were around in the nineties. You had to stare at them for several minutes before you could see what they were, then when you looked away there was a distinct plop as your eyes sorted themselves out

If this is true, it seems to have had a very short product life cycle. Looking back through the forum, it seems to have been about fifteen months.

Sigma EF 539 DG ST Flashgun - Clicky.

Since the battery grip price reduction, I have been watching prices of Pentax stuff on their website, and most Pentax manufactured stuff has gone, mostly Pentax fit lenses from Sigma.

The price of the flashgun has gone down about £30 last night, and is now half the price of the canikony version. Might be worth watching.

There is a saying in aviation - "never fly (in) the Mk1 version of anything.

Good luck all.

Another question sort of leading on from this one -

If Petal hoods are optimised for shooting with the large petals top and bottom and the small petals left and right, why is it only possible to mount the hood so it is optimised for landscape orientation, not portrait operation (on all my lenses anyway)?
Come on Oggy, keep up, what shape is your film/sensor when compared to the light attenuating shape of the hood.

See John, I do understand.
Strangely enough, having just broken out red ruin myself, that becomes blindingly obvious.

Ahhhh! The getting of wisdom.

To me what really talks to the viewer in this sort of photo is the subject's eyes (No I was never good at anatomy:roll

While I see what John is saying about context, I could make a case for the first one.
