I'm thinking that's a fair launch price, although I'll wait and see what the price is in sterling first. Although body only converts to about £560 I imagine the UK price will be maybe £650- this is "rip off Britain" after all.
Looks like the price body only could fall below £500 in time- when it is £500 with the prime I'm in !
Japers - I think your currency calculator has a fault (exchange rate to US$ is around 1.58 ). That's £475.I'm thinking that's a fair launch price, although I'll wait and see what the price is in sterling first.

The 400m f/4 Tamron Adaptall lens on ebay for £300ish buy it now best offer, played it cheap & made an offer of £250 only for someone else on this forum to make a slightly better offer.... That taught me to greedy, should have just bought it the moment I saw it....
All those Sigma 100-300mm f/4 that used to regularly go for less than £500... or the FA50mm for £149.99 before the crazy price increase...

I like number 3 but the bottom right hand corner is distracting & think it would be improved with that being cropped.
The train image I really like & would definitely convert to b & w using a silver tone effect, at the minute it looks a bit schindler & I would also clone out the cables which wouldn't take long. Superb image though looks great...

I am looking at getting a photoshelter account. Photoshelter allows digital downloads which means no need for me to submit to agency. I can then link to the download from my flickr stream. Flickr is usually google SEO'd within an hour of uplaoding so hopefully photoeditors can find my work & buy it for web or print use

I have import presets based on body and lens combination.
best advice is lightroom is very logical so in develop mode work your way down the different settings on the right hand side top to bottom

Hood always, never ever use filters, just don't see the point using filters for protection...
Seen lenses damaged by filter shattering scratching the front element though..
