Cool idea Gary - I'll look out for that (e.g. the hood on my Sigma 30 is always falling off).

I like them ... but there are some that to me still look better in the originals.

Maybe one point worth mentioning is that almost all those B&W shots could be improved upon if imported into software, such as Silver Efex Pro 2, and processed using modern technology, as per the colour versions.'

There are some over-processed versions too - the girl sitting on the bank for example, those greens are horrendous.

Great shot Nass - and I love the lighting, it's almost as if you shot it in ambient light.

Tamron 28-75/2.8 ticks a lot of those boxes. UWA lenses such as the Sigma 10-20 respond very well to HDR.

I haven't suggested any primes since you don't have any and none of the lenses you are considering are primes (otherwise I'd suggest 15 Ltd and the 77 Ltd (70 Ltd if the 77 tips you over your budget)

You need to tell us a) what you like to shoot (or would like to shoot) and b) what you've got already !

To be quite honest I don't understand why togs don't just print off a few copies of the laws (easily found on-line) as they pertain to taking photos from public areas (buildings, people whatever) and hand them out to anyone disputing their right to take those photos, company employees, private individuals (might want to try a different tack first with members of the public) or the police too if they are unaware of your rights themselves, they can then, if they wish, quickly check if the information you have given them is correct without escalating the situation.

Still that woman really was a dumb ^&$#@ wasn't she.

For cbrog - maybe you will need to change one or other (K5 or DA*300) and this explains why : link

Yongnuo 560 - excellent flash for the money (I guess ca. £40-50).

You could also consider the Zeiss, 35-70 (ca. $350 - 400) with a conversion to PK it's a superb lens that Zeiss say is equivalent in sharpness to any of their primes at the same FL. It's a brilliant lens.

+ 1 on Steve's post.

I'd buy both used not new (from a reputable dealer such as SRS which everyone here seems to have a good opinion of). Kr not K5 and you'll be able to get the macro lens as well as your Tamron from the savings. For macro you don't have to have AF and there are some wonderful older macro lenses out there .... or use extension tubes or buy the really excellent Raynox 150 (ca. £40) or 250 (ca. £50) to put on virtually any lens you own for an instant entry ticket to the macro world.
