Not keen on the composition really - the two main areas of interest are quite widely spaced, making two images for the eye to bounce between.

I think it needs a totally different viewpoint, with either the sea of the building made dominant.

Manual mode you get whatver you set. The exposure readout may change, but you decide if you change the settings.

The exposure readout may change as you put your eye to the viewfinder because the meter could be influenced by stray light entering the viewfinder. That's what the viewfinder cap in the box is for.

The DA 55-300mm also has a circular hood. Wider lenses tend to have petal hoods to prevent corner vignetting and to maximise the shading that the hood provides.

On film, my favourite lens was 100mm.

On digital, the 16-45mm is the one, but if I had a restricted budget the 18-55mm would do just fine. In fact, I use the WR version on a K10D for all my eBay images.

Pentax P70 is great quality and available for close to £100 where stocks remain. Choice of colours too!
