The Toy lenses seem do seem ridiculously expensive. You can get a Holga lens in PK fit for 20 quid, if making your pictures look like they were taken through plastic is what you want to do. It seems a bit daft to me to deliberately turn a good camera into a bad one, why not just buy a rubbish camera in the first place?

Does anyone know where I can find ACR/Lighroom lens correction profiles for Tokina lenses? More specifically, for the 80-400 A-TX f4.5-5.6? Adobe does not seem to provide lens correction profiles for any Tokina lenses, which is a bit odd.

Thanks for the comments! I would throughly recommend visiting this cathedral if you are ever in Madrid, they are quite happy to let you photograph anything you want, except during Mass. I was in there for an hour and a half (30 minute break during Mass, which was interesting in itself). The stained glass windows are amazing, a fascinating blend of ancient and contemporary work.

You'll be restricting yourself a bit if you only get a 300mm lens to start with...for example, if you want to take pics of your family/friends at all, you'll have to be standing at the other side of the park. There's good deals with one or two kit lenses included, why not get at least the 18-55WR and the 300 too?

I enjoy playing with my camera, however I still think I have a fair way to go before I can consider my self an amature photographer.

As soon as you buy a camera, you're an amateur...or did you leave the space out between a and mature?

Thanks for the comments! I am more impressed with the K5 every time I go out with it. There was hardly any noise at all on the ISO 400 shots, and it's a revelation after the K7 to be able to use ISO 1600, though I find with long exposures at 1600 there's significantly more noise.

That blurb about the 135mm f3.5 is not even original, it was on the listing for the one I bought off ebay too! It didn't work with mine though, I got it for 29 quid. Must get round to trying it out properly....
