Boz is a good-natured gentleman of my acquaintance. I actually think I
captured that aspect of his personality in this photo.

Equipment: Pentax K-5II w/Sigma Zoom 70-210mm f4.0~5.6 UC-II.
In continuance of my mini review of the 70-210mm, I think my original
impression that it's not quite as good as the Pentax F 70-210mm is born
out. It is in fact the first lens I've had that doesn't seem to have
the ability to out resolve the sensor I've paired it with. That being
said, it's still not bad. At full resolution, (wide open), I can't pick
out individual eye lashes and the knit in his cap is a bit soft even
after a judicious amount of sharpening. At reasonable levels of
enlargement the the overall image seems to be quite nice. I wouldn't
hesitate to make an 8x10 or even 11x14 print from this file. I even
expected a bit more flare but I didn't notice an untoward amount of that.
I still haven't found a lot of documentation on the lens but using e-bay
as a benchmark, one should be able to acquire this lens for under $40.00
quite a few were going begging for much less, though in other than K
mount. It's not a lens to turn one's nose up at, at those prices.
The sad part is based on it's performance so far, it's too good to sell
for the market rate, and would stay home if I could find another decent
condition F 70-210mm.
As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.
