Lens received this morning in good working order.

Birthday present for GF so I won't have to share mine anymore

You have a PM

Thanks Rob, the Marumi certainly seems to have a lot of admirers. Will definitely consider it, especially at that price

Hi All

I'm looking to upgrade my filter system from the rather cheap one I have to "something" else. I'm thinking about Lee but obviously it is a bit pricey but familiar enough to know where the quality vs price balancing point is.

On a slight tangent I'm also looking at CPL's and have noticed these 2 on amazon - what's the differnce between them?

Hi

Unfortunately I was taken ill so didn't go but plan to visit later in the year so will keep this advice in mind

Thanks

As part of my photography course, we are off to Rochester for the Dickens Sweeps festival tomorrow. Street photography / people are not really of great interest to me but it's all learning! Anyway, what I'm looking for is advice on lens (well any advice really) selection. I'm trying to take as little as possible.

My selection is from

18-55 (WR)
DA 15
FA 31
FA 43
FA 77
DFA 100
DA* 200

I'm thinking 15, 31 & 77 but any advice much appreciated. Not sure if it is supposed to rain tomorrow.

Thanks
John

what is that 'fotomate' railing system? I could well be answering my own question!

Ha, would love to see her face if I told her what she had to do with that setup

Interestingly, I was originally thinking of the 35 ltd for myself before getting the 100

Thanks all so far. In response to a couple of questions this will be for bugs and flowers etc and not for portraiture. I'd also prefer to stay away from anything 'fiddly' to setup as she most definitely isn't a patient person lol
