John,

There is really not much to draw me towards spending a tenner as the only thing I do is read the articles, and the internet is full or articles.

I really object to these changes...not just here but accross the internet...it's free...for a while, then the owners include adverts...enjoy the revenue from them and want more...so add a subscription...lastFM is another example.

The other thing I don't like is the magazine to pdf change....magazines cost a lot to setup and print...pdfs cost much less...especially when you get people contriubuting for free, someone lays it out and 'pdfs it'...voila...cheap copy! I'll pay for a magazine but not for a PDF...well not the same amount anyway.

I'm involved with the ATC and we too have gone from magazine to pdf on both the cost grounds and their [the old officers] thinking that the youngsters will be tripping over themselves to read one of these new fangled pdfs on their computer...which they won't! You can't tear an article out of a pdf and put it on the notice board either!

Hi,

I refer to John's photoshop techniques articles quite regularly....I forget in which order to adjust my photos and it's a great help.

However [and I may be behind the times here]I've not looked at it for a while and find that now I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT????

I would't mind but I've looked at it maybe 20 times over the last year or so.

John, as you are probably moderating this anyway....any chance of the text from 4 5 and 6 please? it was very useful!

I do feel slightly hard done by here.

Thanks

Andy

Hi,

This isn't too expensive new. How good is it in low light? I'm thinking gig photography. £100 cheaper than a DA 50 1.4/1.7 but will it be as good in low light?

Thanks

Andy

HI,

I was going to post a new topic, but think its worth jumping in here for a start....

I have an SMC-A 1.7/50 which is great...but...Ive been to a few gigs and even though SOME shots are in focus....the ratio of good to bad is about 3:7.

I'd like to improve on this. I like low light work and have had some good results. However MF in low light is sporadic. Do the AF lenses fare any better? SRS had a AF 1.4/50 recently but I missed it.

Is this my best option or is there a zoom that would do the job in low light. Budget is about £250.

Thanks

~Andy

Yes, there are some really good shots there....Maybe I'll start by keeping quiet and not advertising myself!

worried now.

Andy

Thanks Joel,

I have Flickr, so will use that [I'd only get silly comments on facebook]

How do I link to this site for C&C?...just by adding it to my signature or is there another way? I don't want to dilute this site too much with my beginners photos.

Andy

Well, that bit was a bit flippant I suppose...I just wondered if anyone could guess or knew why someone would go away for eight months and only return for a couple of weeks twice, and the odd weekend....it is for military training...

Thanks

Andy

Yes, I spent quite a long time counting weeks and subtracting relevant weekends.

Thanks,

Andy
