Try cleaning the lens and mount contacts with a soft clean cotton cloth. It may be a lack of communication between lens and body.

It's a perfectly acceptable lens, so there is every chance that the "terrible" lens in question was a damaged example.

All the small digital cameras I've seen are not at all small, bcause of the huge (comparitively) lenses stuck on the front of them.

If you need a bag to carry them, then a small DSLR such as the K-x must be a viable alternative and better quality as well.

It was a combination of Photoshop lighting effects, lens flare and blending modes. The original shot was taken with the final manipulations in mind, but the detail of those manipulations was left until the Photoshop session.

I might be tempted to see whether any 'adjustment' of the sensor (i.e. a bit light pressure) made any difference at all... but of course, it comes with risks, obviously.

Don't forget the sensor is covered anyway, so you can't apply a bit of pressure to it in the way you envisage. Also, it's not made in the same way anyway. It's a chip, whereas an LCD screen is a liquid crystal display. Totally different things.

Does it matter Stefan? By common consent for a very long time judges have kept silent until the judging is over. If the judge indulged in conversation about the images as they were appearing that doesn't seem very wise, does it?

Please remember that there should be no comments in the competition itself - a couple have been removed. If you want to comment, this is the comments thread, and the judge keeps out of here to make sure there is no undue influence on the judging.

After the deadline has passed and the judging posted, then post whatever you want in the competition itself or here, as you wish.

The removed comments can be put back later.

The 18-55mm and 55-300mm are probably the two most generally useful lenses, adding the 10-24mm if you feel you will need it.

The others could happily be left behind as they certainly won't speed up operating the camera, quite the reverse really.

It does depend on what you will be photographing though. In any event, the K10D is faster than most compacts.

And two fellow photographers waft reflectors to create wind effects....
