Yeah I've still got the 18-55 & 50-200 rebadged Schneider Kreuznach kit versions that came with my GX10, and I don't know if the Germans demand higher quality control to add there name, but I found both to be great, particularly around F8.

If the 'proverbial' hit the fan, I'd have no problem going back them, plus a fast fifty.

Cheers chaps! Yes, Cumbernauld next, that should be a challenge

Have not picked up the camera in about a month or so decided to challenge myself Tuesday by taking on one of my least favorite buildings. Cursed in inception & construction, ignored in reception & appreciation, the building now sits (together with the Edinburgh Tram project) nullifying the myth that Scots are canny, thrifty, organised & determined.

Suffering design flaws, the death of the architect during construction, a costly project management system, the building also suffered from the after effects of 9/11 as many anti-terrorist measures were shoe horned into the design. An inquiry had to be held to come to terms with the monumental overspend, this inquiry decreed that civil servants should not have been put in charge of such a projects, however just a few years later, in the same city, civil servants were again left in charge of the tram project, and well.... lesson not learned.

Anyway, £414m and what do you get? Something that looks like it could be an administration building on the Israeli/Palestine border. Or, I've never been to Reykjavik, but I've always thought this is what the airport might look like.

It's quite nice inside though...

Given the comparisons between the ASPC D7100 & FF D600 it seems the FF argument has just about reached 100% pointlessness. Slight differences at very high ISO? Forget it.

24mp AA filter less in a K5 body would do nicely, then again I don't want anymore storage memory used of more slowing down of my laptop.

In fact any new body please so I can get a cheap K5IIs I think.

LOL. Would be funny though... certainly help a few waverers to put on thier life jackets

I usually see a few during the (Edinburgh) festivals in the summer, saw a bunch last year during the jazz festival in particular.

Regards marketing and advertising, as mentioned with Sony, Pentax maybe wasting their time.

I'd say 'build it and they will come', and I'd optimistically speculate the K30 & K5 are quietly doing just that.

Tamron 17-50 2.8 surely?!?!

Landscapes, city, 2.8 for portraits & creativity? Plus of course it's light & damn good optically of course

Number 1 for me too. Good mix/contrast of colours, light and atmosphere

Bumped

DA21Ltd - £285 - incl RMSD
DA40Ltd - £185 - incl RMSD

UK only

Boxed with all as per photos







Good condition, but used items of course, usage marks, dust specs etc.

DA40ltd missing the mini-cap. I wouldn't recommend replacing it, to easy to loose.

DA21Ltd - serial no. maybe be familiar to Sc-fi fans

Yes can't say I've managed consistent results with it. Quite frustrating. Could be down to the K5's 'there you go, oh no wait a minute just let me make sure... OK there you go' auto focus.

I wonder if it works better on the MKii?
