It's the WR feature that led me to use the 18-55mm and 50-200mm lenses in Paris a few days ago. If you see my image of Montmartre in the rain, it made those lenses a very good choice!

I've used the version tested, which is not as good as the 55-300mm, and I've been using the WR version extensively over the past few weeks. The WR version is an excellent lens and I've been very happy with the results.

The test you've linked to is a bit old now and perhaps no longer relevant to the current range.

And a nice bit of judging, delivered promptly!

We're back on schedule, which is good because we know what to expect timing wise.

This competition has been running for about three years now, hard to believe time has gone so quickly, and it's great that so much effort and enthusiasm is still going into it.

Looking forward to this week!

As we said when we started out with this thread there are lots of reasons why people do what they do. These threads tend to deteriorate as people become defensive of their own decisions, so let's keep this one nice and cool!

I too like the idea of the background echo of the second flower.

Well, I took a selection across the board from last week's AP, and I can't agree, so I guess people will have to check for themselves.

Not a problem.

One example is no good, you need to scan the whole picture to get a meaningful comparison, plus of course compare the other suppliers as well as there are massive anomalies between them.

I had a bored moment when I did this lasy week....

Ideal for most situations, but in this case, the flash has to stay attached to the body
How about a simple flash bracket - the bracket attaches to the tripod amount and there's a handle with a cold shoe on top to hold the flash. Lots of these on eBay I'm sure.
