When using Photome use "Update Now" to make sure that the db is up to date.
I was sure I updated not so long ago. Just tried again to make sure I haven't missed any newly released updates and it said

""You are already using the latest version of Photome - there are no other updates available.""

About: Version 0.79R17 ( build 856 )

hmm?
Go to the www.photome.de website to download the latest beta version which is a year or more newer than the version you are using.

Once installed, use its update facility.

Well done Charlotte, these are very good for a first attempt.

Comparing images of live subjects outdoors and in the conditions you described cannot in any way be compared to shots from a tripod mounted camera in studio conditions.

Feel proud of yourself, and keep shooting.

Interestingly I'm looking through some other EXIFs . . . "Shake Reduction (Setup)" is either 7 or 4. I believe 7 is on and 4 is off ??
The latest Beta version (2009) will show this parameter as "On" or "Off".

Sorry to know that you have had to come to this decision.

Whilst the Sigma 180mm lens is discontinued, they are available in the used marketplace from time to time.

I have one which I will not part with, because it is so good at macro distances. It's not too shabby as a normal tele lens either, but no match for the DA* 200mm for instance.

Good luck with whatever solution you choose.

Glad to know you solved the problem.

Alkalines are not the best choice of battery to use in cameras though. Rechargeable cells like Eneloops which have a very low self discharge rate are a far better option.

Thanks guys, but I'm annoyed already . . .

I got a grip too, which has the AA battery holder.

Guess what, I've only bought 4 AA's with me, and it needs 6, Aaaaaarrgghhhh.



Seriously though, it looks the business and Chris was as helpful as ever.

I'm off to collect a K5 + grip from SRS today.

The big surprise to me is that the DA* 60-250mm isn't on the list. Very surprising when you consider that the Canon 70-200mm L lens is said to be the workhorse of pro Canon users.

Good work though, thanks.
