Went to a camera swap-meet last w/e and picked up a MZ60 with a Sigma 70-210 auto zoom and 24-70 auto zoom for $70. I was pretty sure these would work on my Pentax KX and they did so I had to do some initial test shots straight away.

Here are just a few of my initial test shots with the sigma 70-210:





































I hope you enjoy! Very Happy

Damn, that's the best $70 of image quality I've seen in a while Shocked

Cheers mate. Yes, I too felt like $70 was a bargain for just the 70-210mm. Let alone acquiring a 24-70mm too, with a working film body. Absolute bargain!
I can't wait for the next swap-meet to see if I can pick-up another nice addition for my Nex or Kx.
I want to do a test shootout soon between my Pentax 35-80mm auto zoom and my newly acquired sigma 24-70mm auto zoom. I think that should be something to see, how these 2 similar focal length lenses perform against each other.

Thank you. Yes I think these came out ok for an unplanned test... hell the lens acquisition was unplanned. Very Happy
