smc FA 50mm f/1.4
It arrived this morning and I think I'm in love... :oops: :D Not the best composition I'll be the first to admit, but that depth of field is next to nothing, and the out of focus areas... :D Practically melt in the mouth. Thanks to all at SRS, postal strike not a problem, very well packaged...

smc FA 50mm f/1.4
Maybe halfway between the two pics would be best ? For me, a lot of the detail has been lost in the petal above the bee on this second photo. It does 'jump out of the screen' at you though! That is likely to be your screen. The details is lost on mine as well, but if you were to print it the ...

Hi i'm after a reasonably priced 300mm zoom must be auto focus Are you asking for someone to offer you one for sale, or to suggest one to buy? New or second-hand? 300mm at the long end? Or somewhere in the middle? I bought a used Pentax SMC 75-300 FAJ for about £100 (can't remember the exa...

Help & advice seriously required from all Please read !!
Hi Pete, First & most basic bits of advice are: 1) Don't use anything you're not familiar with, otherwise you increase the chances of getting something wrong. Just make sure you know the kit you're using inside out, or keep everything simple (settings wise) & concentrate on capturing e...

I did a wedding once on a similar basis to yours. Yes, make sure your equipment is working, take spares of everything; I took an MZ-5N with an LX and a Minox as backup. Plan the shots you have to make so you're not trying to work out in your head "did I take that all important shot of aunt Mary...

Quick Image taken RAW with cheap £20 lens on my K10d
Sorry, even with a 'cheap' lens, the picture is dreadful. It looks very cramped, the head is in focus, and so are parts of the body, but the front feet and legs are not sharp, even when the depth of focus suggest they should be. Maybe the cheap lens is 'too cheap'. Put it back on evilbay . :...

Macro shots setup
I'd definitely go for either extension tubes or a stacking ring (for reversing one lens onto the front of another) rather than a reversing ring. The problem I've found with using a reversing ring is that you have to focus at full aperture then stop down to the taking aperture, making the viewfinder ...

Macro shots setup
I guess its much easier to take these kind of shots with a proper macro lens. Setting up can be tricky and the focus ring on the lens doesn't seem to do anything at all! I found myself having to move in and out to get the focusing right! For £10.99 though I'm not complaining!

Macro shots setup
Distance was around 5-8cm (approx 2"-3") from the subjects. Lighting can be awkward with the built in flash, though with a bit of experimentation you get there in the end. As the focusing is done by moving the camera, the slightest movement gives an out of focus shot, so a tripod or a so...

Allow taking of out of focus pictures
I thought I read this was possible but I cannot seem to find the option anywhere so hoping someone can help. In AF-S mode on my K10D is it possible to override the lock on taking a picture if the camera thinks the frame is out of focus. On several ocassions I have tried to use the ability to manu...
