is it time this topic was de-stickied? My K-5 had no issues and still doesn't. It's packed and ready to tackle Goodwood Revival tomorrow, along with the K-3.

Just be thankful for what we have....some forums are in meltdown because the D750 is not what Nikon fans were expecting and the rumoured 7D2 is not really answering the prayers of EOS7D owners

I remember the rejoicing when the price of a 1Gb came below £100.

At that price tempted to get at least one.

I echo everyone's sentiment - I also have the Nikkor AF-D 300mm f4 and the DA* is definitely crisper.

The 60-250mm is also worth considering, I sold my Sigma 70-200 and 100-300 to fund the DA* just to keep the number of lenses I had down (as if:roll

I saw a lot (even though I was using the Nikon) - lots of the newer models and a few HD lenses...

I have to admit that those brandishing Nikons and Canons tend to trot around as if they are David Bailey - at least the Pentax straps are more subtle

It felt great to be asked to be part of the new development of this site and offer up our suggestions, but this just feels like a political party in election year, I.e. " Yes yes we can do that, yes that's a great idea, oh yes we will look into that for you" and then when you've put the tick in the box and the votes haves been counted and they are happily sat in office, you here nothing but silence.

This just feels like they are throwing you a bone every now and again, I not being funny but davidburleson last logged on 10 days ago?

Nice images

I think the Grebe might be slightly overexposed though, especially around the eye.

Hi Maria,

Welcome,

I'll be in NM in a few weeks with my K-3 - tanking down Route 66 but I guess R66 is in the North of your state....

Hi Swarf

I meant I had just downloaded my photos onto my computer, just too many taken and there is a lot to go through and they were taken on the D3, I'll be using the K-3 + K-5 in about 3 weeks in Goodwood.

If the lens is good but you can't get on with it (much as I didn't with mine) then it c'est la vie

but if it's unsharp the I would get the lens seen to, I was never really convinced with my DA*s until they came back from JPSS, my FA50 came back like a new lens. To be honest you won't get a good price if you openly tell us the lens is rubbish..

Get it sorted and then you might end up liking it.
