There are some sample images here:

and

There may be better examples around though

I think I might be showing early signs of LBA.
Watch out for that, I'm in "terminal state", in the last couple of months I bought these: Pentax M28/2.8, Vivitar S1 70-210/3.5 version 2, Vivitar S1 105mm Macro (Kiron), Pentax FA 50/1.4, Pentax DA 16-45/4; needless to say it's easier to quit heroin...

PS: My photos look as good/lousy as always

Have a look here at the dog called Windsor. There are two photos taken with my 40mm the one titled just "Windsor" in particular. That was one picture I was really very pleased with.

Thanks to everyone for their replies, particularly to Fernando for the link to the lens tests.

Having taken a more critical look at some of my photos, I think I should concentrate on improving my own skills before I start blaming the equipment. I think I might be showing early signs of LBA.

Still interested in seeing any examples from the DA40 or FA43, please post any links to flickr or ephotozine.

Thanks again,

Ok guys, I have put out few photos on ePHOTOzine, my username is the same as here, lena.

Have mercy on me... The countless shortcomings in the photos are not due to the equipment but to me, myself and I.

No worries on that score.. nice photos. I especially like the Misty Morning one.

Thanks, Liam!
I've found myself quite addicted to it already. A very helpful forum in many ways, highly recommended.
