Excellent lens. £ for £ takes some beating. https://www.flickr.com/groups/sigma150-500/pool/54050400@N05

Having said that I don't use mine now. I've replaced it with the DA 560mm. Think I'll keep it for airshows though, where a zoom comes in handy

It was having a "test drive" with your lens that convinced me Alan. Think I got the one built on a Monday

Most disappointing lens. It didn't get a lot of use so I assumed it was the photographer but even on a tripod, heavy giotto, using the 2sec timer, the images were anything but sharp. Sold it and put the money towards a K-5IIs (2nd hand).

Wait for the full frame Pentax K-FF-1

It looked to me like one of those reflection images you can to by using something shiny, (mobile phone etc) across the camera lens to get a simulated reflection. Would probably look better full size and I like it

Comment by tyronet2000 posted on How much would you pay for this? at 12/05/2015 - 23:14

I would say the rules are very simple and straight forward. You enter, you win, you set the next subject, judge and in your opinion usually pick a winner, 2nd and 3rd place and/or highly commended. Then give a brief comment on each image of why it was placed or not. I don't recall ever being criticized on my choices whether the contestants agree or not. It's a fun thing although I have picked up some good pointers from other "judges"

Thanks for that John. Winners who vanish or judges who don't follow the guidelines are becoming all too common. Its usually new members involved and as a result I find myself hoping one of the established suspects wins so you know the competition will be in safe hands.

I've noticed this too David although I have just started entering again on a regular basis. If a new member is unsure of what is expected there is lots of help available, even just viewing previous competitions will give some idea of what is required of the judge.

I'm happy for my images to last as long as they need to, a season in my camera club. after that they are just added to the slowly growing pile on top of a wardrobe in the spare room. What I need is to make a lot of my printed images the same size in the selected format, so I can recycle the mounts. I suppose the basic shapes will be portrait, square and letter box. Oh no! now I'm going to have to have 3 piles

Like these a lot Barrie. You've just reminded me I have some of that work shop still in raw. Must look to see how they compare
