I love the contrasts with the clouds... 1, 3 and 10 for me

Good day all,

Three shots from last night - a little overcast which sort of spoiled it.... (overcast? - In Greece? - in the summer?).... whatever next...
anyway - I digress... followed by three shots from this morning just before dawn (about 0515 my time) with the moon now going down behind Mount Olympus...



















And as always - all comments and criticisms gratefully received.

Thank you all for all of the comments. I`ve now ordered the DFA 28-105 from SRS - NOW WE WAIT

Thanks for all the input Gentlemen (at the risk of the PC crowd)

So - following all the extremely helpful suggestions / recommendations, it looks like I`ll go for two options - and go for both (that should fill in any gaps and give me a little better on the DA 50,mm F1.8 :

DFA 28-105
DA 50MM f1.8

SRS have a deal going until the end of the month on the DFA 28-105.... wonder if I can convince them to do a job lot

Again - thank you for all your help...

BTW - the deal runs until the end of the month so if there are any of you out there with available items - (between now and then)..............

Many thanks

David

Thank you David,

I see there is apparently a black version of the FAJ 75-300 and a silver one... is there a difference or is it purely cosmetic?

David

ok, would this look about right?

Thank you both,

Barrie - thanks for that. Self explanatory (once you know how)

Peter - its mostly landscape and scenery. I`d also like to have a go taking photos of some birds... We have some eagles, hawks and woodpeckers here, also a little yellow headed thing that I can`t find out the name of

Of all the D-FA`s, from what I`ve seen, the 28-105 seems the cheaper of them, and the 24-70 will have to wait until Christmas. I`ll have a look at the FA 50 too and see what becomes available.

Good day all,

With the recent purchase of my new K1 ii, I am now in the market for a full frame lens.

I only bought the body and (stupidly) thought I would be able to use the lenses from my K-50. Now I am trying to sell the K-50 and the lenses go with the kit.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I`d be interested in anyone`s views and, dare I say it - recommendations as to what to buy. I`ve read through the various forums and hammered my friend Google.

I`m looking for something to cover the mid range. I have a 12-24mm and also 200mm and up, so something to cover the gaps so to speak. I`d also like some help with the differences with the DA / FA / DFA series - Google has managed to completely confuse me with that one.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thank you

David
