OK, nobody shout EUGH!!!

I have in my "collection" an old Prinzflex 70 - 162mm f1:3.5 lens.
My understanding is, that as it doesn't show two "f" numbers, it is 1:3.5 for all focal lengths, which is a good thing.

What is your knowledge of these lenses? Are they a reasonable make?
It seems like a reasonable lens (to my eyes anyway).
Maybe I should take some shots with it and post them on here.

It was bought about 3 years ago for my MESuper and cost the princely sum of £11.

It seems the only thing I can change is EV. I had a play and aperture remained at 4.5, shutter speed altered depending on lighting.

Think I'll stick to my usual Av and occasionally Tv ( although I forgot to use that at the rally last weekend )

OK.
I've had a look in the manual and had a play with the camera, but what is the point of P Mode on an *istDL?

According to the manual, turn the dial to P, hold +- AV button and turn the dial to alter exposure compensation. And...that's it. Huh??

Am I missing something? Exposure compensation can be adjusted in other modes too.

Much easier in CS2 than PSP9

I'm just made up I have to do it!
Someone finally wants my photos

Thanks, I'll give that a go now

Never thought I'd need to do this, but I do now

I've been asked for copies of some rally photos I took. I don't mind giving them to him ( he's the co-driver of the car I photographed ), but I'd like to add my name to them.

I've just spent 1/2 hour with Paintshop trying to do it, but can't make it work I tried using the text tool, but the writing is tiny and illegible. What am I doing wrong?

I have PSP9 or Photoshop CS2. Can anyone give me some quick tips in either?
Thanks.

And now for some people

5. I think this could be cropped differently to make it stronger, but can't see where. Any ideas?

Went to the first rally of the 2010 BRC season yesterday.
Here are my first batch of photos. C&C welcome as always.

First off: Cars.

I love the writing
I think numbers 2 and 4 work best. Number 3, being white on white, has too little contract (IMHO) and strong white lines around some of the edges looks...erm..odd??

I agree with what Mike has said, but would add that the cropped stern is in my opinion, now a much stronger image.
