In your case, it looks like a production fault - whereby the wrong marker was colored orange. With genuine 8-element lenses, the infra-red mark is to the right of the 4, rather than directly above it.

Norm - your elitist comments are patently unfair...particularly in a thread not meant for critiques...and particularly from someone who posted an image of a purple beaver. Let the man post his images without being told how unrealistic it looks to you. And before you claim that you were just trying to help, have a closer look at your comment that I quoted. It was clearly meant to ridicule.

You have some excellent images there. I too thought I'd never sell mine - but here I am.
I agree wholeheartedly! :p

PentaxForums.com Marketplace Listing Item for Sale
Sigma 100-300mm f/4 EX APO DG + Sigma 1.4x APO EX teleconverter Asking Price
$1,100.00 AUD / $920.00 USD (includes shipping) Item Location
Brisbane (Australia) Item Description
It's a regretful sale, but 300mm is not long enough for me anymore. I've used the lens on a K-x, K-3 and K-1 and it worked perfectly on each of them - no focus adjustment required. This very sharp zoom is highly regarded by owners - see the reviews here: Sigma APO 100-300mm F4 EX DG Lens Reviews - Sigma Lenses - Pentax Lens Review Database.
Glass is clean and clear - no fungus, no haze, no clouding. Minimal dust consistent with age, which of course does not affect images.
Comes with original hood, original front cap, original rear cap, original protective case, box and papers.
Sigma 1.4x APO EX teleconverter is in like-new condition and comes with original front and rear caps.
The Australian dollar isn't the best at the moment, so it's likely the exchange rate would be in your favour. Are you the original owner of the item being sold?
No Are you selling or trading this item?

Argh! Every time I see these sales I go to both the dcxpert ebay store and Pentax webstore, and they never have the one lens I'm after - the 15-30mm.

That's laughable since they had to use a cheap adapter to test the lens, I wonder if the adapter manufacturer is also renowned for its lens mount reliability?
Also, did you see the images they shot when "testing" the lens? I'll bet they were not so generously provided.
A shame, really - good copies of the lens are...well, the evidence is here within this thread.

I'm afraid you'll be waiting a long time - it was never released in a K-mount. The first 2003 version is the only one available for Pentax.

If the seller swears the lens was sharp wide-open during his ownership - and you're clearly showing evidence that it is not, perhaps something happened to it during shipping (maybe dropped)? How was it packaged? Any evidence of external damage to the box it came in?
Then again, if the seller cannot provide his own sharp image using the lens at f4, this non-compliance would have to be looked upon with great suspicion.
I know I don't suddenly delete/lose all of my images once I've sold the lens they were taken with.

I don't know about you guys, but I found it difficult in the extreme to pick just one...but this is definitely one of my favourites from last year.
I appreciate the kind comments from you both. Thanks Tony and donlass! :)

These can be difficult to capture with the three prerequisites that I hope to get: in flight, in focus, and in an aesthetic position.
