Yeah - I hope the verdict from Pentax is positive. Otherwise, I might hav eto learn how to take another kind of photo.
Still waiting to test the D-FA an dTeleconverter. The cold, wet, and cloudy weather is not helping. ----- Original Message ---- From: Bill Sawyer <[email protected]> To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, June 11, 2011 7:34:15 AM Subject: RE: Sigma 150mm macro lens A shame, Mark, the A 200 was your money lens. I hope they can restore it. I agree with Mark Roberts, the Sigma 180 is a very good lens, sharp and an interesting bokeh. Mine did break after about a year and a half, the aperture quit working. Sigma was able to repair it, and it works fine still. If their 150 is comparable, it would be a worthy replacement. But let's hope you wont need to.

If the new Sigma 150 macro is comparable to the old 180 I wouldn't hesitate. I have the Sigma 180/3.5 macro and it's is simply amazing. Probably the second sharpest lens I own (behind the 77 Ltd). You'll probably never see a used example because those who own one are unlikely to sell. Ever. Check the online reviews of the 150. I seem to recall it being very good. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
