Hi Rob,
Can you focus it properly? This is the main problem I've always had with
Sigma lenses on Pentax bodies: when you adjust focus for a given focal
length, you get a gross focus error at other focal lengths. This was the
reason for selling my Sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4 OS HSM in a month and even t
Yeah, the 17-50/2.8 is almost permanently on my #2 body, it's pretty good.

Bruce,
As you're talking about the sharpness of this combination,
here's a sample.
It's today's sunset with the K-3 and DA55/1.4

Yes, but that means you could make a pdf version of the book available.
Well you can do that too if you like. There are three "kinds" of books to

That said, there are times I'm really glad I didn't bring a camera to

Don, in this type of architectural/street I look for simplicity, so
for me the strongest two are -29 and -30. -30 is pretty cool.
Were it my choice, I would reframe/crop -29 to eliminate the dark

Some nice photos of an interesting subject. It all looks cold and bleak
inside stone walls. And these were domiciles of the elevated people;
think what hovels housed the ordinary folk. With the flick of a light
switch we have more power than the great kings. Love to see more.

KnarF - FWIW unless the first image was somehow related to her guitar skills, I
much prefer the shot of her without the partial guitar. To use the first image,
it needs to show more of the guitar.

Go with the original. It shows enough guitar to show that she's
