I was up at 5.30 this AM, despite being worn out last night I just couldn't sleep!

I need to replace a set of head bearings on the Beema, do I start now or leave it for the morrow...

....I'll have a coffee and think about it.

I use my DA40 as a walk around lens, the sweet spot seems to be around f5.6, giving a reasonable DOF.

Over all if the subject is too big just step back a pace or two, but watch out for drops behind you!

This image was taken straight from the camera, just resized and no further PP. K5 and DA40.

If you're set on an MX just keep looking.

I managed to get one from ebay with a 50mm f1.7 lens for less than your £30 target.

But it took a lot of looking!

..or half day sat by fire thawing out!

Sod's law states that you can never stay in bed on a weekend...

...that's why I'm on this thread waiting for back up DVDs to burn...

Could be worse,I could then have to go to work...

If he'd been a canon man she'd have fired him by now!!

Quick shout, I'll post in meetings as well, there's a Heritage weekend in Saltaire in the 13-14th April.

There'll be Steampunks on both days for those that fancy a day out...

Tape measure?

Just focus, then read the lens scale, IIRC the older (pre digital) flashes work just fine, but that's another thread...

And yes, the IstD and K100d shutters are noisy, frighteningly so when you've got used to the latest offerings.

Just a thought, if you want a 10MP body have you looked at the K10?
