What a shame, if you use it a lot outdoors and don't need the f/2.8 then yes I so no reason why you should keep the DA*50-135

You can probably sell it with a profit now

Is the US price with or without TAX / VAT :

I think collage would come close to what you want.

I would simple open the main photo and the rest of the photos and drag the ones that goes under it to the main photo then the dragged photo will apear in a layer and with the free transformation tool you can alter his size.
Simply do crtl left click on the layer I can and you select everything in the layer, then right click on your selection > free transformation.

If you want extra room under the main photo go to image > canvas size there you can create some more room.

If I'm going to fast just say so

Many say that but isn't the DA*50-135 a different lens?
I use it for portrait and I would miss the 50mm and the f/2.8

I keep the RAW with the edits in Lightroom (cataloge) and when it does go through Photoshop I use what comes out but don't keep it since I don't see the point of saving it since I still learn a lot in photoshop and most of the time I can get something better out of it when I need a photo again, then I just start over again.

Probably through the search engine.

1) Most of the time there is a class number on the card but like said that says little about it. All you can do is look at the packaging or on the website.

2) beside that what has been said I think there is also a difference in build quality. There is little that can go wrong but how they are baked and how much material they use all adds up in a better product.

Gwyn You're right.
Indeed it was brewed in Maastricht by De Ridder but not anymore since 2002 and was closed down at the end of that year, I don't know where it comes from now, Zoeterwoude en Den Bosch seems the most likely place.

I've tried Hoegaarden but that's really no beer for me, Wieckse goes down far better.

Like said I know little about beer so I'm glad to stand corrected

Sorry they really don't ring a bell and Weiss is a German word so not a Dutch beer, wit is Dutch for white but I don't believe there is a real Dutch white beer so far as I know most or from Belgium or Germany.
Wieckse, Hoegaarden en Leuven for example are popular white beers here.

I'm really not a beer guy, whisky is far better

Barrie don't worry you will get it

There are several things here that you need to consider.
- The speed of your computer/card reader
- Maximum speed of USB 2.0
- And the speed the card can do
The slowest of these is your maximum transfer rate, most cards can't simply go as fast even if your computer and USB allows it, since the memeory chip of the card can not handle more then MB/s for example.

Yes the Class thing is something you just need to throw out of your mind for the simple reason that the current cards are must faster.

Basicly there are 3 official class 2, 4 and 6, they simply state what the minimum write speeds is.
So a class 2 can at least do 2MB/s
class 4 = 4MB/s
class 6 = 6MB/s

Some manufactures claim they have a class 10 card but as of now there is nothing official from SD Card Association.

So a 30Mb/s you could say that's a class 30 but since the highest is class 6 it's a class 6 card, therefore these classes say nothing any more.

Some also have a rating with a x and that's based the speed with magnitude of 150 kB/s, also cd-roms use that.
So for example a 13x = 2MB/s (13 x 150 kB/s = 1950 kB/s = roughly 2MB/s)

ps. you talked about card readers and yes there are differences in them as well just the same there is difference on how fast you DVD player is for example.
