Interesting John. In a past life I did some software. The fact that Pentax cameras seem to identify Sigma lenses as Sigma but the wrong one suggests to me that pentax software does have the text strings for Sigma lens names. Reverse engineering software can be a stunningly long and tedious job. For Sigma to get that close then leave the job 98% done seems strange.

I know that it happens though as my Sigma 150-500 shows up as a a 70-200. All other parameters are reported correctly.

Hi Streiflicht and welcome to the forum! Isn't a 50th birthday a good excuse to treat yourself to a new lens or two?

I've not received anything about this. You've named them now, and if they want to they can put their side as well.

I don't think one person's argument with a supplier really proves anything, we can only take people as we find them.

Personally I have always found Park Cameras to be fine.
Sorry John. I have left an open post here, and pmed "Admin".

Sorry to drag this up again but I have still not had a reply to my letter of the 21st January.

I have asked the Mods if they have any objection to me naming the guilty party, but have not had a reply.

I agree with JR that it would be good to build up a relationship with your local shop, but that requires co-operation on both sides.

I am sure a lot of forum members have had dealings with these people, and have had goods ordered one day and delivered the next day, completely satisfactorily, but most companies do that these days.

To my mind, the real measure of a company is how they behave when things go wrong.

The company conerned is Park Cameras.

Hi Chris - welcome.

Not been here too long myself, but have found lots of helpful people and a bit of banter. What more do you need?

My thoughts are with them too. I have met a lot of Aussies and only one duff one. I just love their positive attitude.

I suppose it should be of some comfort that the percentages of males and females add up to 100

There's some real talent here.

That's why I'm here - hoping some of it will rub off
