Blunty puts loads of enthusiasm into his reviews. I like that.

Some great deals from SRS till midnight tonight. K3, K-S1, etc, but everyone who has the Q should get the 15-45mm lens for £99.00 - fantastic bargain for a brilliant lens!

Maybe, but don't you think the views are a little harsh? Much of the time exchanging images on Facebook or wherever is just the equivalent of conversation, socialising and sharing thoughts. There's nothing wrong in that, but the article you link to does seem to me to tend towards a sort of sense of denigration?

can you recommend a lens for still life's?
It depends upon the size of the still life. The standard 18-55mm or any standard zoom will do fine for most things, but a macro lens if you need to get it very close to small subjects.can you recommend a lens for still life's?
This still life was shot with the 18-55mm lens, at f/16.

An here are the images. They were judged last night and, as predicted, nobody batted an eyelid regarding print quality. In fact, the "stunning detail" od the macaw was commented upon. The audience liked my Little Goth best, and she drew a suitable "Awww...." from them.
Little Goth (18/20)
Macaw (17/20)
There was a third image, but I haven't prepared a small version for web yet. later hopefully.

Most lenses acquire some internal dust, and a number of specks here and there will cause no problems. Dust enters as we zoom and focus, and also from the rear of the lens which often has minimal dust sealing.
DA* lenses are dust sealed as well as water sealed, but normal construction allows air to circulate along with the dust. Always change lenses in as dust free atmosphere as possible.

Mike-P, I put in a report about the problem you outlined and it's now been fixed.
