what sets it apart for the also excellent Sigma 17-70 is colour rendition/contrast - the Pentax just produces nicer looking images

On the R200 I used to own one and always found it produced very good results...are you using a calibrated monitor & the correct printer driver/profiles/ink/paper ?

The problem with online sales is that there are so many websites doing the same thing - high page ranking is essential to generate any traffic to your site and even when you manage that converting visitors into customers isn't easy either
If you want to promote your photography then local galleries/craft centres are well worth a try

I found the Sigma too soft above 240mm....
I now own the Pentax 55-300 & it's the best "consumer" zoom choice, unfortunately also the most expensive by some margin

The Dell 2209WA 22" seems to offer excellent value. Unusually at this price it has an IPS panel, and seems to be well thought of among photo enthusiasts. I would like to say what it's like from personal experience, but I'm currently having difficulty sourcing one here in Sri Lanka (though it is available in India and Malaysia - and presumably Europe & N. America).
BTW it needs to be the 2209 with the WA suffix, not the 2209s with prefixes (sod's law determines that these ones are available all over Colombo:roll.

I've looked on Alamy for the same useage etc which gives me some idea - the only thing is Alamy images are "stock" images so is this a reasonable comparison - I'd like to think my images are a little better than stock ones and if so perhaps worth slightly more, maybe this is irrelevant ?

Does having images on PPG actually provide any valuable kudos etc. I'd be interested to hear peoples thoughts?
thanks
