Hey Thoramay, at Glastonbury last year I spent an hour chatting & sharing a bag in box of finest wine with a 74 year old fairy, great fun she was, seemed she has been to all the Glastonbury & Isle of Wright festivals since 1970.

Go in and ask for a constant f/2.8 zoom..... Some of the answers have been staggering, one branch told me only Nikon d300s & above had f/2.8 settings & would certainly not work on any other brand of camera, particularly Canon & Sony!!!!

Got briefly excited then, thought I would have to pull the trigger on a 70-200mm 2.8

Oh well keep on saving

Cheers ordered from Bristol

Right anyone know the cheapest place to get an LL-80 focussing screen seems to be over £30 everywhere now...

Anyone have one of these spare

Will pay up to £20 delivered

Well have finally got myself a k-x so my K110d is surplus to requirements.

The camera has had very little use & I have only used it for backup to my samsung GX20.

The body is complete with box, instructions all software & cables, i think the original batteries are still in the box too.

The camera does have a problem. The flash will not stay down, so is stuck down with black tape. I think the previous owner tried to fix this as the mode dial also does not work, the camera is stuck in manual mode, this never bothered me as I always use manual mode.

Everything else on the camera is in perfect working condition. The firmware has also been updated to latest version so will take latest SDHC cards, I have tested it with an 8 gig class 10 card & works fine.

Has taken 3200ish photos.

Price to sell £100

Postage via Special Delivery £6.99 will post international at cost using signed for trackable methods.

Payment by paypal to confirmed accounts only.

Will post photos later, here are some piccies I have taken with it, only been used for indoor gigs.

This one using DA*50-135mm 2.8, screw drive body so no worries with SDM issues etc...




This one using F 50mm f/1.4

I know what you mean about milky bokeh

I had one of these lenses, I don't think it's soft. Just 1.2 is a very very very thin depth of field. I found it difficult to get sharp shots hand held so got rid of it.

Will do boss

I thought I had as it happens, its getting late...

Hmm I can shoot a headline act at Glastonbury in front of 100,000 people with a time scale of approx 15 minutes to get the right shot needed for my editor, but a wedding???

Done two & never again, the stress is just way to much & damned physical too, standing & running around for 6 to 8 hours without a break.

If you insist on doing weddings learn your kit first, the lenses you are using, as others have mentioned are just not versatile enough for wedding photography, particularly in low light churches where you cannot use flash. The main reason for using 2.8 lenses (fast glass) is to get the shallow depth of field to make the subject pop out. Some photographers can get good photos with kit lenses, but these are few & far between.

I don't know what photography skill level you are at & please don't take this the wrong way, but buying a camera does not make you a photographer, same way buying a guitar does not make you a guitarist.
