And a Happy New Year to you all from me.
And thank you for various bits of input on gear and other techniques, and for the sense of fun and amusing comments that 'litter' the forum threads!

Have to say I almost ordered one - but resisted the temptation. However as the Tamron 70-300 was in my local store at under £59, I did go for that!

Sorry, can't comment on the photo frames, but do you have an LCD TV? (Some) Panasonics come with a SD card reader so you can just plug your photos into that!
There is also a way of doing it with other makes but am not sure how to, apart from having the PC plugged in next to it!

Hi, Not Matt answering and can't comment on the 16-45 for comaprison, but have just got the 17-70, and there is very little/ no "wobble" when extended. It handles reaaly nicely (on a K10D).
Also have done some very quick comparisons with a tamron 28-75, and @ f9 at 28, 50, 70mm is very similar on sharpness etc centre frame. Haven't pixel-peeped the corners yet.

A is smaller than P. It depends on the filter thread size of the lenses that you are using as to which you nedd. So, anything above 58mm (I think) will need the larger size holder and corresponding filters.
Also if you have a very wide angle lens you might need the P size or even larger anyway to stop vignetting.
Cokin do X-Pro and Z-Pro sizes as well!
Hope that helps
