Looking to replace my nearly exhausted on its last legs metz 48 which has served me well.

Now I'm not sure whether to get the 50 which is virtually the same as my 48 so no learning needed or the new 52 which has the rear touch screen, this could be good for my nightclub photography.

Anyone own either?

Don't think I will be getting another 1.7 again... I may get a 1.4 if one comes up,cheap enough, not bothered about af capability.

Finally got a day without rain so a chance to give the Tamron 400mm f/4 a go in the garden.

All wide open at f/4 on the K-5

I have been wanting to do a little project for a whilst and whilst wondering through town the other night I noticed these blue LED's lighting some of the shops.

K-5
DA* 16-50mm
f/4
1/50
ISO 800
Focussing was difficult with the shop windows lit up so some are a little soft but I am pleased with the results.

For 35mm negatives why not just get them scanned at a local photo shop? Won't cost much as all they do is feed them into their huge printer and then put them on a cd. A lot better than doing it yourself. Not sure about slides though...
