Thanks & regards

So what do the KGB know that others don't?

Surely we don't need brighter bigger viewfinders? 645D excepted.

Obviously propaganda, designed to upset imperialistic APS-C users.

A few from the coast. Weather is getting better at 30'C and light is wonderful, even around mid day.

Not intending to steer this thread off topic, but some previous comments caught my attention.

"Tamron 17-50 with the idea of some unobtrusive street shooting"

"Primes are definitely the way to go for size and unobtrusiveness photography"

Does this mean general shooting scenes rather than say individuals as my street lens is currently the 50-135 SDM and would normally be my 70-200 Ex Mk1.

Both lenses allow unobtrusive shooting as the subject does not see me in close proximity or at all.

This works very well. When I do use shorter glass, people often notice and react totally different. People will often see you with a camera at your eye if your close by, often not if your twice as far away.

That said, it's good that we all have our different ways of getting results. My better shots of Souq beggars have often been off the hip with a wide angle as I walk past. You cannot point a camera at them from face height.

Care to elaborate as I missed the K20 and got the K7 to use alongside my K10.

The K7 is not light years ahead of the K10. As far as IQ goes, non of the Pentax DSLR's are light years ahead of my istD. Slightly different yes.

So we won't see any further mention of the DXO results.

I agree with you totally. Real world for me being outside of a studio. No disrespect for any using a studio, it's only my look at it.

Possibly not. If you look at the comments from Rocky Rockwell wrt the 300 and 300S, he says that those and all other Dx bodies are now wasted by the D7000. 1 or 2 fps speed of the 300/300S does not make up for the faster AF and cleaner hi ISO images of the D7000.

I don't have much to say about the Canon. Odd metering and it's heavier than the FF 5D MkII. It certainly does not come close to the K5 or D7000 for build quality and overall functionality.

Fettled and sorted Andrew.

Simply admirable.

Nah but,

Last stop on round would be old ma Peggotty’s place — ’twas like taking bread to the top of the world! ’Twas a grand ride back though …. and afterward, I knew baker would ’ave kettle on and doorsteps of hot Hovis ready.

“There’s wholemeal in Hovis,” he’d say — “get it inside yer lad, does yer
good that — and one day you’ll go up that hill as fast as yer come down!”

Hovis — it’s as good today as it’s always been.

Nostalgia......link..enjoy.

IMO, only the back ground is "out of context" in that it does not offer enough contrast. Overall, maybe the scene lacks enough contrast?

Great subject.
