Dont be shy

And they say kit lenses are sub standard !!!! Not a lot wrong here...Lovely picture. Well done.

And they also say swan photos are boring. Well many of them are but not this one. It's excellent.

Thanks again guys I have always thought the kit lens to be a very good lens to be honest, this is the mk1 and I suspect the mk2 and the WR version would preform even better. I find swans very interesting subjects to photograph as with that long reach of neck they get into so may interesting positions and once you gain there trust I find you can get in very close I have had some lovely shots over the years.

There were some good Mk1 Kit lenses. I couldn't tell the
difference between the Mk1 I got with the *istDs and a
later Mk2. Another (late model) Mk1 I had was not in
the same league.

I had thought the mk 2 was brought out with the k20 to cope better with the extra pixels on it's sensor, so I thought it would be better than the mk 1. Im more than happy with my copy of the mk1 and from what John wrote in his reveiw on the kr the kit lens supplied with that looks very good also.
