It looks promising. I need a day at Freo this weekend to test it's metal.

It's metal all right.

But if you want to test its mettle, try some portraits in natural light.

Well picked up George. It was rather bright yesterday but I needed to see if all was OK. Weather permitting, Saturday or Sunday will see a whole range of shots.

the only time I'd use jpgs, is I was working for a News Copany which ws more interested in getting journalistic images 10 microseconds after the event happened.

Not always needed, Karl Grobl has time to work on images after an assignment yet shoots JPG.

Read his final comment about JPG vs RAW and getting it right in camera.

I agree that there is "more" to be had from a RAW file yet Mr Grobl's clients don't seem to mind either way as they only receive untouched JPG's.

I'm not sure how valid it is but the Park Cameras site is quoting £599.99 for the body and 8.5mm, or bundled with the battery for £630 (not sure if that is an extra one or if it is required?)

Looks like the battery is an extra one. Based on the US launch price of 487 pounds without a spare battery it seems expensive yet again or maybe the battery is 113 pounds?

I bought a Sigma 17-50 HSM OS whilst awaiting the repair of my 16-50 SDM.

The Sigma is a good lens, sharp, great OS. I now have a new 16-50 SDM and the Siggy is on the shelf.

As above, a great set and the results justify the effort.

A Zombie event today in Perth was a great success. Up close with a 21mm lens.
