I've got a question:
I bought a secondhand sigma 120-400mm f4.5-5.6 dg os hsm on ebay, it's in great shape, there is only one problem with it. They sold me the older version without the (OS). The seller doesn't have a problem and says they will take it back and see if they have the os one (which I doubt, as they sell mostly gsm and other electronics) . As I payed 450 euros ($500) should I keep it or did I pay to much for this version. Good, affordable long lenses are quite rare so I'm on the fence for this question. Any insights ? I added 2 shots from this morning ...

I have a bit of the same problem, My first film camera was a mz-5, I could mount almost any modern lens, unfortunately the plastic mirror mechanism broke almost immediately. So I bought a Me super (no modern lenses works with that ... Luckily I had some manual lenses, for macro I have a third party 65mm f2.8 lens ( unbranded venus optics) which does not brake the (my) bank.

I have tested the live view on the tamron 70 200 on my k3 - it was choppy and unusable , on my ks-1 it worked , slow but accurate. So it has to be a software issue. But it will be a miracle if we get any updates from Pentax for the k3.

Ah, they should use the 27AF point on all their systems! I do have trouble fitting it in ? Is it a replacement for the K3II or a more expensive K 70? But still let us dream about what needs to happen: decent wifi and multimedia options (not those apps that seems like they are build for Android 0.9 beta) a more open source system so I can use a HSS flash that does not cost me a arm and a leg. Software updates! People like updates, get a dedicated team who work on updates, be like fuji! And of topic get on your knees and beg Sigma to make some recent lenses for the K-mount. Sigma is HOT, Tamron not so much ...

A month or so ago, I learned a new simple tech to make infrareds, I thought it was a nice image to edit this way.
