Its amazing how many cameras in sports are now just shot by remote and rattled off at 15 fps. Whilst I acknowledge the skill involved in setting up, I can't just help feeling that it all seems so mechanical and soul less. The other problem with Getty and AP is that the national press have subscriptions with them that give the press access to all AP and Getty's images at no extra cost and in these cash strapped times Nationals are using these two agencies purely on a cost factor basis. I know on a number of occasions last year festivals that I have covered regularly for years unhindered have started to be covered by Getty and AP resulting in zero sales for me or other freelance photographers, it truly is a race to the bottom.....

The K-3 will soon be the perfect camera, Smeggy. As its price falls, the value score will rise above 100%, taking the overall result up to 100%.

I have owned the lens for around 4 to 5 years, never had any SDM issues. The lens is complete with original rear cap, hood, OEM front cap and s90-160 bag.
Issues! The hood retainer on the lens has broken as have one of the lips on the hood, so the hood wobbles, I always put a bit of insulation tape on it and it was fine. The mount did break a couple of years which I had repaired at Johnsons who serviced the lens whilst they had it.
The lens was razor sharp wide open with my GX20, k-5 and k-5 mkii.
I was going to ask £480 for the lens but with the issues I would be looking for £450 this should cover the cost of a new lens hood from SRS
How sharp??? All at f/2.8

Perhaps the difference between pros and amateurs is that when pros get together we talk about photographs, clients and how long they take to pay, but mostly about photographs. Amateurs on the other hand just seem to talk about cameras.
