Re: [Misc] Cameras and Macro Equipment and Lenses For Sale

Your sample shot links in the first post all come back with "page not found" for me.

As for the Sigma 150-500 - hmmmm, just been thinking about one. Is this the newest version of the lens? I know there are several versions of the 50-150 - not sure about the 150-500.

Is it possible to see a couple images taken with the lens? The reason I ask is I bought this exact lens from B&H about a year ago new - it was definitely a bad copy as my old 170-500 gave me much better images than the new one - ended up sending it back and didn't buy another one being I was kind of disgusted.

Links fixed now.

There is only one version of the 150-500mm lens. They have HSM and OS, except Pentax doesn't have OS due to built in IS in body. Definitely leaps and bounds above the older 170-500mm as I have it as, well, and it's a great lens, but not in comparison to the 150-500mm, like comparing a non-EX to an EX lens.

I will dig up some samples from it. If not, I will take a few with it. .

Are you sure about the OS with the Pentax mount?

The one I sampled last year definitely had OS.
