well I bought it and used it this weekend all the time, didn't used another lens and used it in the rain.
Was a slightly bit worried that during zooming the lens might suck up some water or get in in through the barrel but it seems okay.

Btw didn't thought I would love the 16mm end so much but 90% of the photos are made there

For me the only strange thing with 16-50 was that it extended towards the short end (where I used most).
What do you mean with short end?
at 16mm it's the smallest and at 50mm it's extended.

Curious.

All my cards except one are Sandisk ExtremeIIIs. They are labelled Class 6 33Mb/s. If I look at their site They no longer show my cards but show ExtremeIIIs Class 6 20Mb/s and the Class 10 33Mb/s.

Methinks someone has been swapping the labels.

I'd still recommend them though.
From what I know the Class 10 isn't offical yet, maybe they are now and don't want to fall behind with the rest.

Even the Extreme III class 6 20mb/s can be rated class 10

Thank you all I'll give them a try

Seems pixelmator is out of the picture then

I've a special question for Mac users, have you ever tried pixelmator?
I have, but why do you care? Are you going to get a Mac now?
I said in the Adobe vs Apple topic that with the study I'm wanting to follow I'll be getting a macbook.
I believe it was you who said that Adobe Photoshop didn't run so good on it so looking for alternative...

IIRC on a thread a while back - possibly re the iPad [ certainly it was a Mac v Windows thing ] Stefan said he was thinking of doing a 'Hackintosh ' system .
That is ethically and morally wrong, and probably illegal (although this has yet to be verified by an EU court). I'm sure Stefan wouldn't stoop to such vile deeds, especially given his righteous attitude to Apple's monopolistic practices.
There is a problem with how Apple (and others) provides the user agreament according to the Dutch (dont know about EU or UK) law they must be provided before you purchase the product so the user agreement you get during installation is therefore invallid. So you can for example install Mac onto a normall PC for the time being.

I don't know if Apple has something against installing a differnt OS an the Ipad, it should be able to run certain Linux versions.

We are however going very off topic here again.

Sorry Tim but I read about it in 2007 from that Dutch website I linked you through, almost all of the links come from there. I wasn't so interested in it so no I didn't read more about it besides what I provided you. You as Apple user will certainly know more.

At the computerworld link it's suggest that that aplication wasn't the fault and th BOSD even happen when it wasn't installed. Of course it's all hear say.

Hehe from what I hear you say it seems you've tried out the software or not
It goes with the same line as register-cleaners and that sort of stuff you see for windows by the looks of it.

I would be very surprised if it wasn't, and with high power machines as well.
You can label it light sensative and it should be alright, you can ask UPS what they then do, probably they will do an hand inspection then.

For any moderators, I'm going away for a long weekend Tim probably wants to reply and I would like him to have the opportunity to do that but be happy to close it afterwards since the usefulness (if there was any) is gone.
I was hoping to talk about what Measures Apple and Adobe might take to get their "right" and if we should worry about Adobes future on the Mac but that discussing never happened.

a split screen might, but i don't get how it actually works, do i only get to see the middle circle bit, and the rest would be hazy/blurry?!?!
too new to this world so i know nothing, apart from my eyes feeling tired and strained after using a camera =P
This should be helpful, scroll down a bit. link

The Katzeye screens are Nikon K3 screens.

That may be what you meant, but it isn't what you said.
Huh?

you're right but no program is without bugs sadly

Leopard wasn't a success story either

The blue screen problem of Leopard was sadly one of the biggest problems for Apple in recent years and therefore a good example.
Blue screen bug? Are you serious? Have you just suddenly learnt about this on Google? That problem hardly made a ripple after the Leopard launch! It was a tiny minority of users who had installed a system level hack suffered it. Not only was it a hack, it had a terrible reputation for causing crashes all the time. These people install something that patches their system software in an unapproved manner, and the system upgrade breaks. Is that really so surprising? (And Stefan, please please please tell me you already knew all of this before making your Leopard pronouncement.)
Yeah same here, blue screen bug?
An Application Enhancer seemed to be the bad guy bad strangely enough that bad guy say it can not be their fault link

Also please stop with that google thing since non of the information I used came from google they all came from this site and here is your Apple BSOD link

You are talking about a hacker that caused the Blue screen on Apple and i couldn't found it on mine sites and since you're so against google I ain't going to use it too look it up since you would probably give some comment I can't used it probably so you give me the article that said that it was a hack that caused it.

Btw why can Doug say that Windows is buggy as hell and when I say that no program is sadly without bugs and that leopard wasn't such a success story, I'm suddenly saying something completely ignorant and inflammatory?

I believe you may have misunderstood Doug's post.
Than please tell me what he meant since English isn't my native language after all.

If you make these wildly inaccurate statements you're going to get reactions. Sorry, but that's just how it is.
It seems you've a problem with your memory and/or with reading, since it looks like it's quite selective. Now don't say it isn't since you could only read one sentence of a two sentence comment of mine

I also wear glasses but I don't know if there is a special way to help you against that so I'm also interested to hear tips and suggestions.

Do you think that a focusing aid might help?
One is a split-screen, you can get them for cheap off ebay or from Focusingscreen.com or Katzeye.com
Another option might be a magnify ocular but I aint sure if that's so wise with glasses.
