This is a fantastic lense ! I'm seen some amazing shots with the 28-75 and you can not begin to compare it to the 17-70 (nice lense but a level down IQ wise). I'ts still on my list but after getting the 17-50/2.8 it's now at #3 !

Just tried it and like it. I already have PTGui and it seems very similar. I've got a few big stitches from the tops of various points in the Lake District so I'll have a longer go with it later. I prefer panos with the 50mm to be honest but only maybe carry three lenses when walking - Most decent walks my mate tends to carry the tripod in exchange for 2 points of guinness so no hassle weight wise.
They have sherpas in the Lake District now ?

I have dyscalculia.

sit me in room with no visual points of reference, and I will be unable to tell you if I've been there for five minutes, fifty minutes of five hours.
That is amazing .... I had no idea that was one of the effects.

Not keen on the first one, looks like part of the hand is missing

Number 3 is just your usual baby shot, nothing to like/dislike really.

Do like number two though, would be happy with that.
What the man said ... word for word.

Really good shots ! Roxy Music were my fav band for a long time and I collected ALL of their vinyl.

They've produced some great music. *launches Frostwire to download some long forgotten favs*

The 55-300 is very good and at 300mm you'll be framing 1/2 (near enough) the area you would at 200mm, so it will bring you significantly 'closer'. I'm thinking (heresy :shock of ditching the 60-250 and going back to it.
Bloody hell. I want to go the other way so PM me if you decide to swing that way before I buy one !

Defo the 55-300 (which i have now) over the 70-300 (which I also have but is now back in the UK, packaged and ready to go, and will be up for sale shortly). The PF in the 70-300 isn't that bad in 99% of circumstances, however it is noticeably more than the low incidence of PF from the 55-300 which is an incredible lense for the money.

OK let me see.

1. Curves contrast auto adjustment (it wasn't much but lightened the whole shot a fraction). You could probably achieve the same in LR or use the exposure adjustment.
2. Used the Dodge brush (I'm sure LR must have one of these) to lighten the head.
3. Used the selective sharpen brush to sharpen the whole bird.

You can't actually tell so much from those small pics but the difference is actually quite a lot and the whole eye area is clearly visible.
