It comes down to the price as far as the review is concerned. it also looked like they where really excited about the lens before the test...

in raw mode the camera does no processing so in theory should show least resistance when writing to card.

in jpeg mode any processes will slow down shooting speed.

pleased you found a solution...

Another band I have shot before, I knew the lead singer would be leaping around so set ISO to 1600 to get a fast shutter speed. Problem was they used lots of smoke & strobes. So really difficult shooting conditions. A really narrows pit filled with 8 fellow photographers & similar amount of security made movement very limited.

Lead singer also threw his water ar me, very rock n roll, got a drenching but lived to tell thetale

Got the now obligatory leap shot, really pleased with how sharp the head is on this one. The gamble with the high ISO paid off.

Great set, I love teh symmetry of number 1, looks very fractal like. Number 4 is just superb...

Thanks guys, Gareth I think your right, just looked on it with my other laptop & it is dark. Used my new laptop to edit these which has an OLED screen so may be a little brighter to work on.

1 & 2 for me

Shame the wheel in number 1 blocked her hair, but I like the depth of field bringing the background into play, shows where the photo was taken.

Number 2 I really like, not sure what is on the left hand side of the frame, is it ribbon??? I would prefer that cropped as I find it distracting, but a great set & some good ideas too.

Not often the man talks about photography, good read...

After a break of a couple of weeks it was good to get back in the pit again.

Have shot Scouting For Girls a few times in the past & knew the lead singer had a tendancy to run about the stage, so good positioning was needed & a little bit of 6th sense.

Hoping to get in for Liam Gallagher's new band Beady Eye next.

I like em all, they have an artistic quality in all the shots.

They remind me of photos I see in art galleries... keep plodding away, the best photographers are always the most controversial. Even if this post is just for a laugh I have very much enjoyed reading all the comments ))
