Have you any more sample images shot with this lens please ?

Steve

Hi Charlotte, I am certainly tempted, just need to think about funds.

Steve

I too have bought from Colin, great communications, very easy to deal with and good clean items, great guy to do business with.

Steve

Only just seen your reply. I think I may have one sorted now for quite a bit lower than £240. You should do ok via ebay, more people seeing the items.

Hi, the AF540FGZ, there is a dealer in Scotland selling these new with 12 months warranty for £260. Obviously you need to get as much as possible, but bearing in mind new ones are available at £260 what would your very best price be ?

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks Matt for that extremely informative information, your a gent.

Steve

Thanks also to Gareth of course !

Steve

Thanks Alan and John for the quick responses.

Hello all,

Do Pentax digital cameras need to use the newer digital flashguns, or as with the lenses are they backward compatible with flashguns too ?

I have two K10D's and a perfectly good Metz hammerhead flashgun. I haven't tried the flash on the camera's as I don't want to risk damaging the cameras electronics.

Any advice would be gratefully received, thanks,

Steve

I bought a Tamron 70-300mm just a few days ago off ChrisH, (thanks again Chris),yesterday morning was the first chance to try it out.

I hadn't previously seen the comments re., PF but had seen comments about these lenses being soft at the 300mm end in particular.

I took a lot of varied shots including contrasty ones but have not had any PF issues as yet, so it could vary from lens to lens.

Also I used the lens a lot at the 300mm end to see how it performed. You can see one of the images here :

It was taken hand held and looks sharp enough to me.
