and the stark reality that a year is only twelve pages long.

Looking clean and being clean are the difference between silence and a whine.

Clean the contacts first. If possible, get one of these:

The electrical contact equivalent of a lens brush. They are excellent at cleaning contacts. Only have 1 to 2mm of bristle showing.

RS (Radio Spares) sell the same thing for a wee bit more money:

All comments appreciated.

I've used mine since I bought it with an MZ-S. Great on film and well up to very acceptable on digital. I used it on a K-1 on Sunday for the waterfalls. Mine suffers lens creep but so does my 16-50mm. It's light and its quick in operation.

Went over to Wain Wath Falls and West Burton yesterday as the forecast showed some chance of good light.

A change in perception and even bragging rights? Images online, on say, Flickr, shows some great quality images taken with all sorts of kit.

When "we" post images on forums such as ours here, we are showing to people who appreciate what the kit can do and are also aware of esoteric glass.

So times have changed.

A limited number of people appreciate lenses and cameras from an actual in-use capability. Most will remember what the camera magazine article said and base all judgement on that. Very easily mislead people imo.

It will sell, but to who?

1. To add to a collection.
2. To show off to others when out & about (assuming they have a clue what it is).
3. To use to it's full capability and be appreciated.

Did I miss another reason?
