I have a FA 43mm, and yes, on the rules of you shouldn't sell a limited, I'm tempted to trade it in for a 35mm macro or a 15mm f4, simply because I hardly shoot portraits and also at that focal length, and I have a 24-60mm ex dg sigma, and I do enjoy a bit of random macro.
And the reason for getting a 15mm is simply for the versatality during climbing occassions.
Rather than wasting the mechanics of the 43mm I'd probably get something I use, as I'm nothing like a collector.
Not sure about the trading prices though so just wondering if anyone could shed some light on how much I should be asking for (in a swap?)
or if anyone would come to tell me I shouldn't do it, please do so! =D

Thanks guys, indeed winter there isn't the most photogenic, especially the city, integrated with all these old things, but I've enjoyed some great hospitality there, so it's not just all about the photos (though it might be on here )
I do have a few from the church one but the problem is that's as close as I'd get and there's a massive patch of tree right above the cross, which makes it nearly impossible to crop it without discarding bits of the cross
Guess I'll have to be a bit more ruthless about cropping next time!

A bit of a shock to most people when they heard that I'm going to Greece as a tourist in winter. As expected, and also with a bit of bad luck, museums were closed on my day out there, but that gave me the chance to have a very good walk around the whole city and soak in. All pics shot with the K5 and DA 18-250mm, handheld and no filters. A fair amount of vignetting was observed and some had to be cropped away. C&C welcome pleasee!!!

PTlens seems amazingly easy to use! I'd be getting that then!
Is there a key to do it, like with the numbers or so etc or does the program do it all more or less automatically???

Have you thought about a manual one? some adaptall 2 tele zooms are great! e.g. my 70-210mm f3.5, I've heard good things about the 60-300mm and certainly the 80-200 f2.8, especially if you pair it with the PKA mount!
They also work fine with the 1.7x AF TC to make it into an auto.

Just wondering, if anyone's tried doing this in LR3?
I found a profile, but don't know where the lens profile is located on my computer so can't import it...I'm using windows 7 64bit.
I've also downloaded hugin, which seems to work but I'm not sure what settings to put it on in order to get it going..
If anyone could shed some light that'd be amazing. (please don't tell me to get a 10-20mm/12-24mm etc there's a simple reason why I didn't get one)

Thanks a lot!

Thanks Pinus but I'm needing something at the 18mm end more so a 18-250mm or something like that really.
Sorry but thanks.
Still looking =D

Thanks Steve, I'll see if I could get it, but at the mean time, still on the hunt!

Just in case you're selling the 18-250mm, I've dropped you a PM since I really need one.
