Nice one

I wonder if he's as good a shot as you

The only criticism I have is some of the whites seem burned out and I'm not keen on the white sleeve dominating the top left corner though I dont know how you'd have got round it with this crop, can you pull the whites back I wonder or are they blown on the original? having said that I dont really mind the over white fingernail on the trigger finger as it draws your eye to the main tool of his trade

Apart from this theres a good range of tones in the image, so the question is are you going to share your B&W conversion process with us or keep it a secret?

As you got such a bargain I'll give you a tenner for the Tamron

If you feel bad why not offer them a bit more? whatever you can afford, alternatively sell the stuff your not really interested in keeping and give or share the proceeds.

I have the same problem Craig, I'm not 100% happy with the noise I get at 400 let alone 800+, My K20D underexposes too but TBH I never considered adjusting the exposure in camera to avoid the noise created by adjusting later in photoshop I suppose the levels adjustment tool has made me lazy, but after reading this topic I'm certainly going to give it a try.

The only problem this will cause though is dropping the shutter speed on the camera even lower to get that bit extra compensation, especially using a Bigma

PS the Robin is about the same as I would get from a jpeg straight out of the camera.

Great minds think alike Mike

There doesn't look to be anything on the left, maybe they moved the external connectors over and theyre under the card compartment door, though there is another door below that. Perhaps its a dual card camera.

Perhaps the kit lens allows us to see more of the camera than we would with the likes of a DA*16-50 for example

Anyway, what I want to know is where have the image and menu buttons gone? I liked them on the left hand side

Haven't you heard of FLOWERS

Has anyone has a rough idea of how many attended the meet? Did anyone do a head count?

I have two, not had any problems with either in K10 or 20D

Trafford Centre Manchester are shown as having stock but I just telephoned and was told they didn't have them.

A Sprat to catch a Mackerel was my wifes comment
