What do you think about a "2nd Annual Pentax" trip in May?
I am up for it. I have to make one more trip to Bismarck to deal with some family issues. If I have to go to Bismarck, I am driving the extra 8 or 9 hours to Yellowstone.

I like the second image (not cropped?).
Thanks WPRESTO, This one was just slightly cropped, just to position the subject a bit better that the original... (maybe 5-10% crop of the outer edges).

sigma apo games

My shooting with the sigma apo 400mm meant that I was primed to notice examples of them in the listings. And surprise: a nice PKA example appeared up for auction as if on cue. It sat in my watch list and the bid rose steadily. Eventually went for a bit over £100 - a pretty fair price actually, but more than I wanted to pay (yeah I know call me scrooge - but hey, the plan is always for ££ to end up in the photographic kitty if resold).
I messaged the seller of a couple more examples (item # 162880247141 is one). They were the wrong mount anyway, but when I realised this was a reseller just trying to move them on - his other items were all BINS with pretty high prices - and he declined to respond when I asked why, are these hazed? well...
Then this one appeared in the listing. Is that a PKA mount? On careful scrutiny - yep: white plastic button is distinctive, plus oppposite rotation of the aperture ring to most other mounts, can just about make out the -A position. The seller could only say selling for his dad don't know nothing...
Anyway I won it and repeated a prompt to check the lens for haze (for which these sigmas are a bit notorious) with my payment. Fingers crossed...

I could be mistaken

but if anyone is interested in that lens or a similar one

they might want to look at the market place " buy/sell "

and I do mean now

BTW, I have no connection with the listed seller
