Peter, you know what? I had exactly the same impression, but then thought its just a newbie enthusiastic with the new toy seeing things that are really not there .
But now you mention I do find it the colours more vivid yes.
I got a couple I will briefly upload and shows that.

Thanks for the tip Shim, will take that advice fully on board. Would hate to be caught short, in this case long .
And you are right, there were a couple of occasions that I really thought I could do with wider angle but then still squeezed into the 60mm as a push, just out of laziness of putting the bag down, changing lenses etc. .

If I manage to sell the 16-45 I would love to replace it with the beautiful DA*16-50 mm though. That SDM functionality is lovely

This is a great shot Peter
well caught. I can see the little glitter in the eye of the Robin, , fantastic, I like this

Martin, this is a little beauty, the shot I mean, not the subject .
Nice and crisp, the colour of the leaf helps a lot to contrast with the fly,
Its a great shot

I thought I was going to need the 16-45 for the walk so took it with me, in the end the 60-250 was pretty good and didn't even bother to change it. Any range I put it through it came up trumps.
Unless I am wrong evaluating the images, then please let me know.

I think this lens is almost if not as good as the DA*300, in my personal opinion.
Opinions are greatly welcome please.

Thanks

heheeh great images, keep them coming in Tel

That's exactly what I grabbed a few weeks ago from SRS. I guess they might have a stock of second hands of these ones. I first thought it was Nikon flash as I had stated to Shim in another thread but then when I went to check it found that it was Sunpak Power zoom 5000AF. I didn't know the features it includes just been using straightforward connected to the camera through the that socket on the side. I could do with a longer cable though . I will have to explore some more functions on this one, didn't come with any info so probably will find it on the web.

What camera do you use it with? I was going to check if voltage was fine to use it with the K20 as Shim had recommended but I guess you must already found that its ok, right?

What I would love though for this flash is to connect it to the mains, it would be really handy. Do you know where I can find the adapters for this?

Thanks

Nice job Bob. The image was really nice to begin with and now with the poster typd script on it looks really like the movie poster. Just not sure about the red colours of the text though, but that's just my personal opinion. It might well be the correct tone to use there.

Its a lovely image taken by the way, very nice

Thank you, something new I have learnt , found the links and read about it
thanks again for the clarification

Don, just out of curiosity why is the fact that in case it has video capability it is something that it appeals so much to you? Just trying to get some idea that's all, its my curious mind again
