hi daph, what camera are you using and have you got auto iso set.
Of her two posts so far, the first gives a big clue.

She's using a K-x with 18-55 * 50-200.

and i thought this site was suppose to be friendly.
Oh it is, and I was sure I put a smiley on there. No offence meant, just my sense of humour I'm afraid.

I think that topics in the 'Leads to Deals' forum are monitored and when no longer relevant (Deal no longer exists) the topic is removed.

It's possible that the US version contains some code/functionality which may be prohibited from use outside the US. Such information is usually printed on the outside of the packaging, or contained within the license agreement.

In a similar vein, but not photography related, when I moved house in 2006 I came across the original receipt for the first PC I had bought for my business.

It was a Panrix something or other with a very fast 133MHz Pentium III CPU, 512Mb RAM, a big SCSI disk (of it's time), SCSI CD-ROM, a modem for dialup internet, and the usual screen, kbd & mouse.

It cost £3500.00, but very soon paid for itself.

I showed the invoice to my son, who promptly fell over.

Photomatix comes with a plugin for Lightroom to easily export a set of images to Photomatix for HDR processing.

If you have a FA 200mm macro it's worth £50 and I bagsy first refusal.
Don't listen to Mike, it's worth £55 of anybody's money, preferably mine.

Your 'nifty 50' will do nicely. Then experiment with others.

thanks all, have k-x too. is there any end to the amount of gadgets out there? : Will have a look at the hurricane, the butterfly a bit rich for my blood.
A blower will work on most dry dust, but may just move it to somewhere else inside the camera. If it gets into the pentaprism/pentamirror, it's more difficult to remove.

If it's pollen, it's sticky, and for that you need . . . . an Arctic Butterfly or a wet cleaning system which, if you are not confident yourself, is best left to somebody else to do it for you.

If your camera (you haven't said which it is) has the dust reduction function, turn it on. It may get rid of it. If not, get yourself an Arctic Butterfly, as davex suggests.
