Good judging, I had to agree when I saw Epiphat Mans entry I thought that had winner stamped all over it, well done.

Got to give my GX20 with Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 a good run out at the weekend photographing the Glastonbury festival for www.efestivals.co.uk

I was assigned all the stages except Pyramid & main so lots of acts to choose from.

This is my pic from the weekend

Yes I think you may be right, I am also after a 70-200mm 2.8 but these seem to be like rocking horse poo too. All manufacturers claim to be releasing one soon but not yet.

Looks like I may have to dump the Pentax system all together....

Looking for one of these grips, not to keen on paying £120ish for one, so if you have one spare at a reasonable price please let me know

I have this lens, for the price I think it is great, I shot my nieces birthday with it, kept a distance so I could get lots of candids.

Have used it for gig photgraphy but did get some purple fringing, this could be down to the low light though, this was shot at ISO3200 on my pentax K100d, a very dark gig.

It has a long focus screw so is very forgiving which helps me with my poor eye sight.

I bought the Samsung GX20 from LX direct for £639 with the kit lens & then sent back the Samsung cashback form with £100 back total £539 paid, bargain, good job I am not a name snob

A great winner, well done.

amoringello thanks for your comments, I am fairly new to landsacapes & found photographing in the snow very difficult. I will have a go at adjusting curves to see what I can come up with.

This is exactly why I enter competitions to get honest feedback & tips, look forward to this weeks comp.
