I think a photo deserves a frame or mount and I have begun to apply them in post processing. I use a 32 inch tv as my monitor and often leave it running a wallpaper changer program to randomly display my work when the tv/computer is idle. The framed image says "finished" to me. If you look up my portfolio, you will see several examples.

I have uploaded to some forums on Yahoo but haven't noticed anything unusual. I usually resize and then save "for web" before uploading in order to make the files transmit quickly.

I checked the last posting and the EXIF shows that it is sRGB. So I am still puzzled.

I recently have observed that there is a significant difference in the brightness and or contrast of images that I upload to the gallery and viewing the same images on my home monitor. They appear to be darker by as much as a full f: stop and lose some of the detail that is important. I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this and if they do anything to compensate.

I now have had this lens for 2+ months and it has logged a few hundred shots while hanging on the camera body. I have found no indication yet that there will be any lens creep or at least nothing significant. It takes surprisingly excellent images for a relatively inexpensive lens. I only wish it would have a closer minimum focal distance.

Has anyone experienced zoom creep on the DA 55-300? Without a switch to prevent it, this is an issue in my mind that would override all of the positive attributes of this lens.
