Great set of images, reminds me that Whitby Goths are on this coming weekend. Hope to see you all there on Saturday.

I had the FA version & saw no reason to keep it. It wasn't any better than my Tamron 17-50mm so got rid...
The Tamron is fantastic but the FA produces vastly different images... In terms of 'sharpness' I'll agree that there ain't much in it (if anything the Tamron is possibly a touch sharper) but the colour that comes out of the Tamron is (at least to my eye) much cooler less bright look to it...
Of course I'll also assert that statements like mine are always subjective in nature and that if I had to give either one up it would be the FA28 rather than the Tamron17-50...

It's the SMC Takumar 55mm 1.8 M42, circa 1972.

Though I do dabble in sports, wildlife and the occasional model.
Welcome.

Was Oscar the little black one?
Now I wonder if DaveHolmes managed to get his reconditioned MX back with the new Leather. From his phone image it looked pretty good

However... If you just can't wait to see the re-covered MX in sexy brown leather.... > http://www.flickr.com/photos/daveholmesphotos/7099669093/in/photostream
I'm really pleased with it!

I recently got my lad a *istDS and there is a certain 'punchy' quality that comes from its images too, in comparison to my K-x...
That said... There must be benefits to the newer CMOS sensors...
