Thanks don - nice tip. I will probably try that out as well...

Was wondering if any of you have noise problems. At times I find the cropping to be a bit harsh regarding noise issues. What do you do? Do you PP in special programs. I find my Cs2 lacking a bit when it comes to noise. Often I end trying to blur backgrounds to remove some noise.

Experience?

Keen... very nice image and good exposure. A bit soft perhaps.
I use silkypix and it does a very good job

Nice shots. No1 looks like a town meeting.

Ants are very difficult to capture as chirp says

Beautiful shots i particularly like No2.

I often wonder how you fit so many people into such a small country and still have all that wide open space

Tokina SD 400mm 5.6 or Sigma APO 400mm 5.6, preferably in PKA mount. Cosmetic condition not important but must be optically and mechanically excellent.
This one is listed in Aust but postage could be a little steep.

I had heard that capture one was bundled with sandisk extreme III cards, so that could be an option if they still do that, anyone know?
I have a spare license if you are interested. Just PM me and i will pass on the serial no.

The 18-55 + 50-200 kit is compact and versatile. An added bonus is that the filter size is the same for both lenses, so if you decide to buy filters you may not need as many.

I agree leave the 16-45mm till later when you have some better idea of what you want.
I agree with John's choice. It will make an excellent starter kit. Both of those lenses will cover whatever you made decide to photograph. The 18-55 will even work well with closeup shots (macro) if thats what you are inclined to do.
And as the others have said you can always upgrade later when you decide what type of photography you want to do.

Good luck and welcome to the forum
