Shops selling cameras and lenses sometimes like to sell "add-ons" to increase the sale with the more profitable accessories. A filter is a handy "add-on" and with digital of dubious value.

More relevant is a lens hood, which I think is an essential accessory as it may actually improve the contrast of your shots by shielding the lens from unwanted light.

It's a terrific lens for film - very sharp, very compact and a very useful focal length. Quite a bit of barrel distortion, but I didn't mind that as the effect is good.

With DA lenses the answer is to AF and then tweak the focus manually using the Quick Shift feature. No need to change to MF to do this. The exception within the range will be the 18-250mm and the DA-L lenses.

Well if you could use Photoshop then you can make a contact sheet there.

If you have an image editing program you could make a contact sheet manually as well. It's not too time consuming provided you have access to things like the Transform tool.

Have you tried Google?

You've got a great eye for the unusual angle and the title is spot on as well.

Nice to see that you're back with some keen shooting.

Most of us still have no idea what's going on, but please keep personal arguments off the forum! Thanks!

Steady on there, no need to get excited about it. We do understand, but not everyone agrees. That's an entirely different matter and people are entitled to disagree. Respectfully disagree, of course.

I had a lens repaired by Asahi Photo about a year ago and it took three days. No problem and the reapir was fine.

and a FF DSLR for maximum image quality

I thought he'd said quality was not the issue, just his annoyance with working out crop factors.
