The most obvious one would be that you need to re-size it to 800pixels wide, or re-title it as "Two flues".

Another couple of considerations -
1/. Filters. The DA* takes 77mm and the Sigma 86mm. The larger filters are quite a bit more expensive, and there are not the variety that there are at 77mm.
2/. If you are trying to capture something small and/or moving fast, it is easier to do it with the Sigma at 150mm then zoom in on it.

Ouch!! Probably best used with a kit lens rather than a DA*

Got it. On the first click, the post does go green, but is not get saved as such. A second click produces an icon next to the "Mark as helpful" and it is saved. Paradoxically, once you have marked a post as useful, unmarking it and remarking it only require one click each.

Another vote for the Sigma 150-500. Only problem is you are going to have to had your Weetabix.

Not quite sure where to ask this, so I'll try here, Mods please move as appropriate.
If you make a post and someone replies, you can select "Mark as helpful", which gives their post a green background. I have done this a few times to people who have been kind enough to give me good information, but when I next view the thread, the posts I have marked are no longer green.
Any ideas?

Thanks Peter. If you like old things, mostly engineering, then It is well worth a visit. Clicky. The staff are pleasant, helpful and enthusiastic.
Having read your comments I can see exactly what you are saying.
No5 is the control panel for a railway signal.

Thanks HG
I think it is called a radiosonde. Basically it is attached to a helium baloon and allowed to float up into the armosphere. They measure information used in weather forecasting. The series of cones arragged in a circle measure windspeed.
