Re people complaining about the plastic mount. Having recently snapped the foot on my plastic footed Metz 48 which I replaced for £13 compared to the £100 repair when I snapped the metal mount int da* 50-135mm which rather than breaking the tab on the mount snapped a part of the lens inside I can see a benefit too plastic mounts.

As for the price if the 50mm still early days yet and until we see some samples from it we may yet be surprised...

Wow some shocking generalising going on on this thread.

Why do people want to take photos at one of the worlds most media covered event in the world.

Why can't people who pay to go to these events just enjoy it rather than see it as another photo op???

Jacobs today announced they had gone into administration...

How can you judge who makes teh best lenses when they have used data from the worst lenses as well, thats ridiculous, it should be who has the highest ranked lenses based on MTF across its whole range..

Have done a few prom shoots at clients home. Kit lens will be adequate, time of shooting will be around 6to 7 ish so nice lighting flash with a bit of fill for shadows. If they have a tall hedge or wall use that as a back drop and stand the subjects 3 or 4 feet in front of it. Shots would digest the following;

Daughter with mum
With
Dad
Daughter mum and dad
daughter siblings
Whole family
Daughter on own
Head and shoulders
Waist up
Full length
Then with transport

Hope that helps, like John said don't get bogged down with lens swaps you will have such a limited amount of time.

Apart from that enjoy.

Silver with the fa* lenses will look good, fancy a gloss yellow or orange one myself...

Gx20 has been great for 55000 clicks
K-5 still going great after 25000 clicks, shutter button is a little stick sometimes soon as I get some time off will send it in for warranty repair.

Da * 50-135mm has also been faultless apart from the mount snapping which was my own fault...
