I think the second one is cropped too close and prefer the original. To me the reflections on the right hand side (of the original image) are a little distracting, but I really like the waves caused by the swan swimming - I think it gives it a nice sense of movement.

I was waiting for the 60-250mm as well. Not that I wanted it, I just thought when it gets released the market will be flooded with Sigma's!

Now with this price increase I would guess a second hand one won't be much cheaper than what I paid for it new, though I think things may return to normal before the Pentax arrives ....

I know we have all been expecting this, but I just checked the current price for a Sigma 100-300mm f4 and they are currently at £1149 at Warehouse Express

That's nearly a 60% increase over the price of £724 two weeks back - I'm glad I got mine then because there is no way I could afford it now.

I'm not having a go at WHE as there are similar price increases at many other suppliers but I am surprised just how big the price rises are.

Wooo Hooooo! Until someone else votes I'm the youngest on the forum!

I would imagine you would use a 400+mm lens on a tripod and therefore turn off SR anyway. But yes, I'm sure SR is incorrect in this situation.

I changed my sig after posting the original message as it reminded me to update it!

Although I've had it a week I haven't really had much chance to have a play with it yet Hopefully this weekend!

Thanks to everyone for the replies

Yes!

That was a quick reply

Thank you

Hello everyone

As always I have done a search for this, but I either get 100's of hits (that don't seem related) or nothing at all .....

Anyway, I've recently taken delivery of a Sigma 100-300mm f4 + 1.4TC.

When I'm using these together my K10D doesn't seem to realise there is a TC there - it still lets me select an apperture of f4 for example even though I know the minimum apperture is f5.6?

Is this normal behaviour?

It still lets me take pictures and everything else seems to respond as expected but I thought it would be clever enough to realise that the TC is there and restrict minimum apperture to f5.6?

Thanks

Lee

Hi Oggy - I'm sorry to hear you've had problems since installing it on my recommendation

I've used IE7Pro (and IE6Pro before it) for several years and not experienced the issues you have, in fact I have my home page set to 'about:blank'. I originally found it as Microsoft have a direct link to it as a recommended plug-in for IE.

I would still recommend this software to anyone using IE, but like anything some people may experience issues.
