1. A small DSLR (Ds sized) but aimed at the more enthusiastic amateur, so above the K-x but below the K-7.
Failing that:
2. An Olympus Pen equivalent EVIL camera - as good looking as the new I-10 if possible.
Failing that:
3. An I-10 lookalike with a bit bigger zoom.
4 A 250-400* zoom. Having just got the 60-250 I wouldn't want an 80-400
5 An SDM TC.

I use it for portrait and I would miss the 50mm and the f/2.8
True Stefan, but I don't use it much anyway. I was thrilled to buy it, but actually find it spends more time on the shelf than in the camera bag.Gwyn wrote:

Many say that but isn't the DA*50-135 a different lens?I wonder how much use the 50-135* will get now.

Or on the camera for that matter

I have one too, which I bought, for a great price, second hand. It hasn't had much of an outing yet, but so far I am very happy with it. It will get put through it's paces more when we go on holiday soon.
It is the lens I wanted but couldn't afford, as it gives me a good range when combined with the 17-70.

I can actually appreciate the skill in bowls. But it doesn't make good TV imho.I come from a family of champion bowlers so that doesn't surprise me!

Husband spends time moaning they never show crown green bowling any more.
He will watch almost any sport, usually falling asleep to it, but waking up the second I try to change channel .
If it hadn't been on so late he probably would have watched the Super Bowl. Luckily he had to be up 6am for work.

It is the one game involving a ball that my husband doesn't watch, thank goodness.
Yes he will even sit and watch bowls on TV if I let him.

This is getting off topic, but I can't find me on Google. Lots of people with the same name, but not me.
My husband is easier to find, but then he is on Linkedin and Facebook and stuff like that. Plus his cv is online along with various old papers he published back in the dawn of time.

I open the RAW file in ACR in Elements and once I have done any adjustment to the file I open it as a copy so the original is untouched. I then edit further in Elements and save as jpeg or PSD depending on the amount of work and what I intend to do with the end result. Not enough room to save things as Tiffs.
I do an incremental back-up to an external drive once a week. The originals are not deleted from the SD card until that has happened.

I have the Pentax 17-70 F4 SDM. OK it costs more than the Tamron but that extra 20mm at the long end makes it an excellent walk around lens. And it has SDM which makes it quiet too.
It really depends on what you use it for though. I like that little extra zoom on it as I can also use it as a portrait lens (just) if I want to.

It might be in the e-paper section but you have to subscribe to that.
