If you have the problem, a report to IT is the only way to resolve it. I can't make a report myself on this because I don't get the problem so can't point them in the right direction. Much better if someone does it who can replicate it.

It was hoped that the Gallery competitions section would be easier for members to use - no web hosting is needed to upload to there. If you can upload a Gallery picture, you can upload a competition picture.

Please note no comments in there (any will be deleted) until the competition has been judged.

Please also note you have only one shot to post in the Gallery competitions. You can't delete and repost that week.

No pop-ups here, so I suggest updating your virus and malware protection and making sure pop-ups are being caught properly.

It may vary with browser as well. If you still have a problem, contact IT via a report, but please make sure you tell them full details so they can test it out.

I'll move this thread to a more appropriate section.

I'll have a look now.

I like to travel light, so for general out-and-about travel:

18-55mm WR
55-300mm
100mm Macro, preferably WR

Everything else is a bonus.

Keep It Simple and then we can actually get on with some photography and not be laden down with too much kit. All other lenses I view as for a special purpose, depending on the job in hand.

Photographers are a pretty honest bunch of people, but I understand.

In that case, the 18-135mm will cover the most eventualities!

If you want to maximise your learning from this, I would suggest you take all three lenses and see what works best for you.

It is likely that you will be using studio flash, so in terms of aperture maybe f8 or f11 will be appropriate, so if so all the lenses are capable of that.

To be honest, taking a kit of three lenses to a studio doesn't seem too onerous.

Do you think that it's because we are getting very used to the 16:9 proportions of out TV screens? I must admit that 4:3 can now look quite constrained by comparison.

Voigtlander lenses have a good reputation but are no loonger of German pedigree as they were in the 1950s and 1960s. They are made by Cosina now, who bought the right to use the name. However, they are still good lenses.

Rather easier to find, I would suggest the SMC Pentax-DA 70mm f2.4 Limited as an alternative for portraits. Classy, superb lens that is compact as well.
