Thanks!

Interestingly enough, I just looked at the Sigma page and noticed that 
all the winners from their first three contests this year are entered 
into a fourth contest for overall winner. So there's a chance I may be 
able to milk a little more from this shot yet ;-)

 Congrats. Unfortunately, you'll probably be gifted with a Sigma lens
 or something like that.

 Har!

 I'll suffer through every moment of using my 180mm f/3.5 macro when it
 arrives!

 Gonna have to try some Mark Cassino-style insect shots next summer...

 Thanks, Dave. What I liked about this contest, BTW, was that they
 required that you send in a *print* of the image (minimum size, 8 x 10)
 in addition to the digital file. This gave me a leg up on some of the
 competition, I think, because I'm a pretty good printer.

Not only that, I think this was the first or second shot I ever took 
with that Sigma lens. I got it the previous day and went out to shoot 
some photos before going running with my Saturday morning running group.

The prize is supposed to be a new Sigma EX50-150/2.8, but that won't be 
available in Pentax mount for a couple of months so I'm probably 
getting 180mm f/3.5 macro :-P

 I was convinced I was going to end up with one of the consolation 
 prizes, a microfiber lens cloth.

Congratulations! Now, did you win the 300/2.8 or shoot with the  
300/2.8? I'm not sure what you won, but I'm pleased that you did.

Congrats. Unfortunately, you'll probably be gifted with a Sigma lens  
or something like that.

Har!

I'll suffer through every moment of using my 180mm f/3.5 macro when it 
arrives!

Gonna have to try some Mark Cassino-style insect shots next summer...

Hey, pretty smart using a Sigma lens. (wink)

Not only that, I think this was the first or second shot I ever took 
with that Sigma lens. I got it the previous day and went out to shoot 
some photos before going running with my Saturday morning running group.

The prize is supposed to be a new Sigma EX50-150/2.8, but that won't be 
available in Pentax mount for a couple of months so I'm probably 
getting 180mm f/3.5 macro :-P

Tell them you want a Pentax DA* 50-135/2.8 instead :)
