Hi Mark. I have a Sigma 70-200 APO EX as well, and it's a great lens. I sold my Tokina 80-400 to fund it. The Tokina was a good lens, but I was after something faster. welcome to the club.

Camera Shopping Mall?3 buildings with 6 floors?? And there's an entire Pentax shop, no less. I thought such places only existed in my dreams.

Thanks for modelling Vera. That's a great portrait of you. In my opinion, the use of photoshop, etc, can go too far. I like to see the person AS THEY ARE (sorry for shouting). I hope you continue to model.

This is a beautiful collector's lens everyone. I only sold mine to get a fast AF, and I still regret it. BUY IT!!

It's nice to see someone leaving Pentax for purely practical reasons, and maybe one day you will return to the fold when the offerings are better. Good luck with the new system, but have you considered how much it's going to cost you when Pentax ups the ante with a new, better system?

Saturday, helping my brother-in-law move house. Something to look forward to...
Sunday, an early squirt on the mountain bike, then I have an all-day appointment with a newspaper and coffee.

I've been a member for a couple of years, and the mood generally seems to change like the weather (for me, at least). This is a good thing. If everything was plain sailing, it'd be boring. And those times when it's all too stressful to follow a slanging-match thread to the end, I dust off the mountain bike and go for a blast in the bush. Thanks to all the confrontational PU members for getting me fit again!
Mike-P, your big, cheery smiley 'bye' face is the best reply I've seen, and it's only one word.

Tch, tch. All this bickering about Whitby. No wonder Captain Cook left the place and came to Australia for a holiday.

My seven, for what it's worth.

Sigma 17-70
Sigma 70-200 f2.8
Sigma 30mm f1.4
UWA lens, Pentax 12-24, Sigma 10-20 or similar
Pentax-A 100mm f2.8 macro, or new version

That's it. I can't count. Five lenses would be sufficient at this moment in time.
The first two I already have. The others are "on the list".

Clearly that's the Queensland Chiro-Spider. He's just giving old mate Mr. Ant an adjustment.
Yes, yes, nice shot.
