I no longer use these lenses as most of my pictures are taken with my Sigma 18-35 and Pentax 50-135.

The 55-300 and 30 are in excellent condition, having not been used much, hence the reason for the sale.

The 17-50 is the Mk I and was my workhorse for many years, and has been used to take the majority of the images on my profile, it still takes great images but I now use the Sigma 18-35 all the time and have no need for it, the optics on it are good, but the rubber is getting a bit loose as can be seen in the images.

All prices include UK delivery:

Pentax 55-300 f4-5.8 - £120
Sigma 30 f1.4 - £150
Tamron 17-50 2.8 - £70 because of the loose rubber

Pentax 55-300mm f4-5.8















Sigma 30mm 1.4












Tamron 17-50mm 2.8















Any queries please get in touch.

Thank for the mention George, I always wanted a style and found that the key is not to try, but just to do what you enjoy and do best, and a style will come

Well done, and cracking panel.

I know that the ARPS is very difficult to get in nature as the standard of photography of nature images is extremely high, so that is a really tremendous achievement

Both excellent, but no. 1 is special

I can highly recommend Wordpress if you can get some inexpensive hosting.
I setup my website timpile.co.uk(NSFW) in less than a day, and it even imported all my blog posts from Blogger including all the images and comments.
There are loads of great themes to get you started, free ones and paid ones, and lots of plug-ins to do useful things.
I probably use very little of what it is capable of, but have been very impressed.
Best Regards
Tim

Thanks John, it was great to meet you and your fellow club members.

Just taken a test shot of the fireplace from our sofa, 1/25 @ 1.8 1000 ISO, images is nice and sharp, and also the extreme corners are sharp as well, which is not something you often get wide open with large aperture lenses. I suspect that I am going to enjoy this lens, a lot

I received mine yesterday and have only done a few test shots with it, but it's pretty cool being able to focus and take shots when it looks pretty dark.
I am doing a shoot on Saturday and will probably use it most of the time, I could see it becoming my standard lens and replacing my Tamron 17-50 MKI. On a K5 with a grip it feels reasonably balanced, but obviously much heavier than the Tamron.

Great idea Doug, I'd like to see how/why other people produce their images.
I'd be happy to explain mine, but unfortunately NSFW images are not allowed in threads!

Well as Carl has pointed out there have been a differing of opinions, but some good points bought up.
I have only just really started work on the website so need to play around with things, and I will use some of the ideas bought up here. Some of the things I don't think I can change as the site is based on a Wordpress template.

I want the site to act as a showcase for my work, and to get me access to locations/galleries, so while I think it is a good start we shall have to see whether it meets it purpose.

Thanks for all the comments.
