I got my K-x as part of a 2-lens-kit - the shop was out of stock on the DA-L 50-200 so gave me the WR version at no extra cost...

I believe the optics are identical and my copy is pretty good and razor-sharp at f8...

I got a lot more faves and positive comments as a result... Ego boost

Hope that happens more!

I delete images I don't like - Sometime sharp but rubbish, sometimes soft -

The keepers are labled in a folder - some go on flickr - some on facebook some are copied for people (Sisters kids for my mum and dad etc) some get printed as gifts (We gave pictures to people for christmas and it went down really well and was relitively inexpensive)...

I like the idea of putting prints into a book... You don't see photo albums too often these days

What's the minimum focus distance on the DA35mm-Ltd HG?

I took a pretty similar shot as you're first yesterday (your's is considerably sharper mind...) with the Samsung-DFA-100...

Could John add 'Member of both' to the Poll? Maybe? Please?

Those of us living in the north and south know that the midlands is not a real place... What we argue about is where the boarder lies...

My partner and I both enjoy going places to take photos (as I'm sure many of us do) For the last year or so we've had National Trust membership and it has more than paid for itself in days out...

Renewal time just came around and discussion was held as to whether we should this year go for English Heritage membership instead...

Unfortunately we can't afford both...

We decided to keep National Trust this year but to switch next year...

Just wondered what other forum members thought of both National Trust and English Heritage...

There seems to be more English Heritage sites south of the boarder (by which I obviously mean Sheffield but will accept Birmingham for the sake of avoiding argument) so I have tried to look at this in the poll (which I hope will be of some use to all)...

Well... Never got a chance to do any double exposures on the MX but did spend an hour with some of the kids in our group running round with torches and glow sticks light painting (to the amusement of the other parents) results were pretty poor this time round but it kept us all entertained for an hour...

Then the weather happened...
