You sure? link

I'm sure I'm sure.
What I am unsure about is what your point is Stefan.

I'm not sure I understand either, that link just seems to confirm that JPG is the best option for long bursts.[/quote]Exactly. The K-7 processes a lot faster than my old *istD did but it's certainly not in 7D territory so being able to clear the buffer more quickly by using jpg has an advantage.

Dont know if I've posted this before but from a historical point of view we Brits (and a few others) actually drive on the correct side of the road.

In the days of old when you met a stranger on the road travelers would pass on the right so it would be easy to reach for a weapon if the they turned out to be unfriendly (dont ask me what left handed people did)
Even europeans did this but for some weird reason Napoleon thought passing on the left was much better, so blame him.

As for the USA I believe it had something to do with the design of the horse drawn frieght wagons, it was easier for the driver to see his left wheels than his right to avoid entanglement.

As an old lefty I'm glad we aren't discriminated against everywhere.

Our very own Lilly uses the Sigma 30/1.4 and gets stunning results. I believe a lot of her India shots were with that lens.

Just had a quick glance, she has some lovely shots.

What a great subject Andrew. I feel the building on the right is unfortunate but think the tyres on the left add to the scene otherwise I would be suggesting you shoot more front on or to the right of front on - or you could have moved in *much* closer & used 10mm FL if you've got such a lens (Sigma 10-20 or perhaps the Pentax 10-17).
I love corro but feel you've got the composition wrong with too much at the top, framing down might have been better or you could crop the top.

Regards, Ian.

Believe what you will of lens tests Bob (although I don't mind the approach taken by these people) - link, but this lens (I don't own it) seems to be great in the centre but not so hot elsewhere?

Pentax's own FA35 f2 seems to be a better all round performer... link

Yes, I considered the Sigma 30mm f1.4 but the test results & comments were a little disappointing so I'm chasing a Pentax 31mm f1.8 Ltd.

What do you mean by "good"?
As Stefan said the 18-250 Sigma covers the range well but you lose some quality & lens speed compared with a 70-200 f2.8 for example. Life is full of compromises; what will be yours, quality or convenience?

I've got a Hoya UV filter on my 10-20 & it doesn't vignette.
Take a look at http://stores.shop.ebay.com.au/HKBNS-Shop__W0QQ_armrsZ1

Don't forget the difference in construction between a UV filter (one glass element) and a CPL (two glass elements)

That's right but the Hoyas are made pretty thin these days for that very reason I imagine.
