I'll make a note of that date in my diary, I've not been to a camera fair for 10 year or more.

Shall we wear red carnations Annie

OGGY?

Didn't shave his head and join a monastery or something?

Focal length doesn't change regardless of what format a lens is made for, a 50mm lens is still a 50mm lens whether its made for 135 or APS_c, as long as the lenses are used on the same format they should give similar results, obviously taking into account the crop factor on APS-c

In this case even if the M100 was made for a film body it's still a 100mm lens and should still cover the same "frame" as the 18-135 set to 100mm, even the 50-200 should give the same sized image when set a 100mm.

Having said that there may be some slight discrepancies where lenses are "alleged" to be a certain focal length but may fall short, but certainly not by another 100mm.

Either your lenses are faulty and defying the laws of physics or you've done something wrong somewhere.

Shave it off, nurture the beard and go for the Fu Man Chu look.

Thought you PPG'ers would be interested to know, my upgraded images were approved fairly quickly, about 4 days.

They have pink drinks at my Dentists too, can't say as I've tasted any hint of Gin though

Now that's PROPER photography

I'd happily use it in a studio, but humping it around, definitely not.

I've tried my hand at birds in flight, all I did was increase the shutter count on my camera and have frame after frame with nothing in

Have managed a couple of "acceptable" shots but wouldn't even consider trying for a woodpecker, I'm just happy enough to see one let alone grab a shot.

You'll need a sharper knife than these shots



Sorry Gary, could't resist.

The amount of sharpening an image needs will depend on it's intended output, a large file for producing an A3 print will need more sharpening that an 800pixel wide image for display on the web.

Different images will also need different levels of sharpening depending on the subject, I have my K5 set at factory default and sharpen later as and if required.
