You alive old man? Hope all is well with and the family. Just bought a KP hope to be sharing again soon.

Talk to you soon.

Going threw Monument valley tomorrow. Hope to see you soon.

You too bud. I will call you Friday to set up a time to meet. Cheers JIM

I've got a cold one for you anytime you want.

I'm having a hard time finding either, we are leaving a week from tomorrow for 18 days, I'm getting really excited to get back to some warm weather, running out of time.

looking forward to seeing more of your stuff.

I paid... 999.00 Canadian plus tax and I had it on order for three months. The day it was released, it was shipped and picked it up two days later... I am very happy with the lens fo rmany reasons. Very fast focuing and shape.. The DOF is excellent for the Macro I love to do. I haven't given it a good run yet but will be putting it through its paces this weekend if the weather is good. want to try some more Landscapes with the new ND8 filter I brought along with a IR fliter I haven't tried. This lens has not left my camera since I bought it though I will use my Pentax 12-24 more and my Tamron 90 macro is hard to beat... If you do get it, use a tripod for any close work to keep everything sharp. I will post results on sunday.. by far the best feeling lens I have...[quiet focus and fast. love that] what ever you decide, [Tarmon or Sigam] I think you will be ok.. JIMBO

Hey Jim,

Still loving that new sigma? If you don't mind me asking where did you get it? and how much did you pay?

It seems I may have run into a little cash influx and maybe able to swing the new lens before my trip. Adorama shows it may be in stock as well as 47th st.

I sure didn't miss the rain.

John

I was kinda hoping to wait until there was some reviews from the Tamron but after seeing your shots I don't think i want to wait any more.

Hey Jimbo, I see you only live about an hour North of me. Do you have any good camera stores in the Vancouver area that are stocked full of Pentax gear and third party lenses. Ok any that have some selection of gear or do you have to order online and wait?
