I don't like the idea of captive animals being included but for many club members the wildlife/natural history competitions are the preserve of the uber wealthy members, with the big lenses and the yearly safari trip...

Hopefully it'll 'shake up' the competition scene and spread the accolade...

Ah yes my nephew AKA: Bananaface is one of my best sitters despite being always on the move... He's way up on the autistic spectrum but we get along great; he's got a pretty unique worldview and says what he sees, with no concept of political correctness or tact... He does however possess the timing of a comedy genius... Always a fun day out!!

I've been using the kit lens a whole lot recently but today I slung the 100mil lens on...

Been a while since I used it...

Great time! Ta!!

Congrats Honesty! Don't let the job hunt keep you down... I graduated last year, have sent out well over 100 applications and have only had one interview...
Currently surviving on 2 part-time jobs and lots of voluntary work...

It's a big achievement though... Be proud of it!!

I reckon there's some sample variation with the kit lenses... My first a DAL version that came with my Kx was not great... The WR version (and bear in mind they have the same optics) I bought to go with my (because of the WR) K5 is great...

If it's really terrible you should send it back and get a new copy...

That said, the F35-70mm has been oft' refered to as a "bag'o'primes"... Mine is pretty much permanently attached to an MZ7 and sees little use...
