I would agree with 'Gartmore', but suggest you take the 18-55mm too.

I still feel this lens is under-rated.

It will give you a good range for street - shots, get in close at 18mm and take a step back for 55mm

Hi Prieni, I've been working away from home for the last week, just got home tonight

Wide angle eh !!!

Might give it a try, I've been using the FA 50 - f1:1.4 and the K f1:1.2 quite a lot recently, the 'fishy' has been pushed to the bottom of the bag

Time to dust it off, me thinks

No.4 was mine. I've had a few on now, but it is still nice to see it on the screen

I'm really hoping for the K3D, or K30D to appear soon, because I want someone on this forum to buy one and sell me their K20D cheap

I like the first one too, well it is a fisheye, so how could I not like it ?

At first look, I thought the ship was sinking

I see you have already entered, it's considered 'bad form', to remove the entry and replace it with another, well, I think that is the case ?

There are some dangers associated with night photography.

I took the image below, tonight, on a fly-over near Falkirk, Scotland, where there are 'on / off' ramps, and I thought they would add to the picture.

The amount of abuse and honking horns I got was unbelievable!!!

One guy even stopped on the fly-over and asked, " You a Copper or just a vigilante taking pictures of speeding cars ?"

Another guy stopped on the fly-over and started to get out of his car and approach me, but when I stood up from the camera, and showed my 6'2" - 19 stone frame, with a face like a dug lickin' pish aff a nettle ( * ), he soon got back in the car and made a hasty exit

( * ) translation - a dog removing urine from a stinging plant with it's tongue )
