Excellent with really great lighting and a very co-operative snail

It will be interesting to see what it will reach.

I wonder if in the further future the Samsung variants will be seen as a lower cost item, or as a highly sought after rarity for collectors?

I'm not planning on a speculative investment, but that's something else that will be interesting to find out one day.
I think that you should buy it as an investment and then you will not need your Pentax version

Many of us feel that we do support our local shop by buying from SRS, even though for most of us, Chris is a long way from actually being local

It is two photographs taken with the DA* 50-135 @ 50mm with a 50% overlap, then stitched together.

It will be used (or one of the other views that I took will be used) as the basis for a 3D image.

Ultimately it will be printed A1 in width.

I believe that Utopia Poppy has one but Unlocker will be able to confirm this.

Following on from my entry in the 'Contre Jour' Competition, below is another view of the same crane from the other side of the river.

Fawley is in the distance on the RH side of the photograph.

Macro at 35mm is way too close for living subjects I feel. 50mm is also too close, I prefer 100mm at least.

35/50mm is OK for static subjects.
I would agree with is viewpoint.

Outdoors my Sigma 105 is ideal but indoors, I find that often, I am at the limit of my tripod unless I put the item I am photographing on the floor

For close up and macro shots on a tripod I would always use manual focus.
I agree and also make sure that your dioptre adjustment 'device' has been adjusted correctly as per the instructions in the manual (another JR tip).
