looks like the site has "shifted" a few of the pictures too
The site has turned the portrait ones through 90deg. If I click the photo in Firefox I get the bigger size (800x533 pixels ) in another tab with the right orientation.

If that's the SMC F 28-80mm it looks as good on FF as it does on APS-C. I wouldn't use f/4.5 all the time though I prefer f/9 which gives overall good sharpness and edges almost as good as the centre. Must try mine on the K-1.

All good shots apart from the dandelion which is possibly too close to focus.

It's just the nonsense that you have to supply your email so that they can sell it and you get FREE Spam I've gone to great lengths and changed my email to a random one to avoid spam. Kill filters are a waste of time because genuine emails get caught.

Some forums are like that they won't let you see their hosted pics unless you become a member. I've enough genuine passwords to keep track of as it is.

Luckily with the forums a lot of people link to offsite photos. One of my favourite sites is like that. I can't decide whether to join or not. I'll never post there and there aren't many photos they host. Excellent photography though....

Associated with AOL weren't they the original data harvesters who used to collect pages of info on their clients?

You can't do that for every single shot or for an album

I can't understand why any photographer would use a nag site like Flickr to try to show photos to other people. If like me the viewer isn't a member or they are using someone else's PC , or they just don't want to log in....Flickr blocks off their viewing with a permanent nag window This makes the site unusable... they are obviously more interesting in harvesting email addresses etc. than showing their members work to potential clients.

If your expecting business from Flickr nobody would deal with you because your obviously an idiot

This is just a screen grab from a site I chose at random.....

For wide aperture lenses the Canon Ee-S Super Precision focusing screen is a big improvement. Unfortunately you have to cut it down yourself
