Nice shots Dan number 1 for me. He looks like he was warning you off. Did you have your eye on one of his lady friends

Hi People hope you can help.
At the moment i have the 18-55 da and the 50-200 da, I'm hopeing to make money taking portraits starting sometime next or this year if my 16-50 turns up.
I'm looking for a lens to practice some home studio work with but, but having £500 tied up can't afford the ltd lenses,and i'm trying to keep the cost of my kit as low as i can, so i dont really want to spend over £200.
i am leaning towards the 50mm 1.4 af,
i found a 50 1.7 m in my stepdads camera case and was amazed at the difference in shrpness between this and my 18-55 but find manual focus hard on the k10.
having said that maybe i would be better of fitting a new focus screen and looking at some mf primes?
Thankyou in advance
Peter
There is much more to portrait photography than buying an expensive lens. You can practice lighting, posing, backgrounds, putting the model at ease, etc., etc., with the lenses you already have.
I'm surprised you find focussing difficult with the M 50 1.7. If I were you, I would practice with that, cancel the zoom, and put the money towards an F/FA 50 1.4, or, better still, a second-hand 77 Ltd.

You don't seriously want to get rid of it do you?

It isn't in production and is very hard to find. I want a lens that is actually in production. If I could find the FA20 F2.8 I'd be quite happy though.

I'd always wondered where PC World poached their sales staff from...

There's no such thing as political correctness in Australia but thanks for clearing that up for me Dan.

I think I will forget posting images until the site gets a 21st century upload program on it.

Just wanted to throw my monitor into the mix. I'm at the PC at home all day with work (been using monitors with computers for over 22 years now) and keep needing more room. This is the best monitor I've ever used and got it on the recommendation from Trusted Reviews:
http://www.trustedreviews.com/displays/review/2006/03/29/Samsung-SyncMaster-244T...
It's big, but it's also very beautiful
I also got back into SLR photography thanks to the GX10 review on Trusted Reviews - I like them
