Yep very noisy little fellows.
They only shed like that every 17years or so, they live in the ground most of the time.

Taken on the Strand in London.
It must be 20years ago I last saw this style of Phone booth in Sydney.

Taken with my Sigma 180mm
I think he was afraid to come out because it looked like rain

This one was also taken with the Sigma 180mm

I would go with the 16-50, I believe you need something under 50mm because even 50mm can be a bit too long in some situations.
And the 50-135 or 100mm macro when there is a bit more room and people are speced out more.
But i would have my 50mm 1.4 in my pocket just in case.
The pics i posted in photos for my daughters wig party were taken with the 16-50.

always intrested to learn.
what i'm after is a longer lens the one i have is a tamron 70-300, and i was thinking of trying to get a 500mm one but was not sure as to what mount my slr was. i'm also unsure of the one on ebay as i really haven't got a clue what i should look for.
Post a link to the one you are watching on E-bay and someone here will tell you if it will fit. always intrested to learn.

Most lenses listed on E-Bay will tell you what mount it is anyway.
If its a Canon, Nikon, Sony, Minolta, Olympus, then none of these will fit.
But if its a Samsung it will, as they use the Pentax K-mount.
we have our fair share of these little critters also. I love all the shots you have posted. Have you ever seen these guys right after they emerge from the shell and before they start to dry? I got one here of just that and I don't want to hijack the thread but I thought you might be interested.
What is it that its sitting on ?? a seed of some sort??
