All Pentax 100mm lenses are beautiful lenses that offer very high image quality.

I'm sure that one in good condition would be a superb lens to own and use.

Two slight point on that, we didn't ask you to do this, we just said you were free to do so if you wanted to.

The second point is that you've added rules that have not been agreed.

However, let's see what happens to the voting.

The problem is technique. If you prefocus on the jump, where you know the horse will be, just release the shutter a fraction of a second before the horse is there. There is a slight delay before the shutter releases, so you need to allow for this. You can use manual focus.

Catch in focus is where you use a manual focus lens but set the camera to AF. You can prefocus on a spot and when something crosses that point the shutter will release. For what you have in mind though that will be too late as the shutter lag will mean the horse is already in front of where you have focused.

I have no doubt that shooting slides offers a lesson in composition and exposure skills.

What you take is what you get and it really forces the photographer to be more careful and think.

Glad that you enjoyed it. Can you scan some images to show us in due course?

Excellent Brian, welcome back! I've been watching your posts on EPZ since we last saw you and you've developed a distinctive, quality style.

Don't forget we have all those other things on ePHOTOzine, which many/most of us are members of as well.

I've deleted a number of replies - do we normally hound and mock people when they first join the forum? I hope and don't think we do.

Even if it's a bit hopeful to make a first post a for sale item when you are unknown, it's not a crime.

This subject has been covered elsewhere, so I'll lock thi9s thread and refer you to the previous thread to avoid confusion and duplication.
