I don't like it, I think it's hideous, horrible. I mean . . . a black wall . . . in a kitchen ! ! !

The lillies though, are beautifully shot and a credit to the photographer. This is a well thought out image, if expensive at £4.50 a stem, expertly executed.

I just came across this. No 58mm/f2 in there though.

I thought it fair to post as it's on BIN or BO.

1: If you are not getting focus confirmation at infinity, either your subject is not at infinity, or the lens/camera/combination is faulty or in need of adjustment.

2: You can check if SR had stabilised by looking at the EXIF of a suspect image using Photome.

I suggest contacting SRS at your earliest opportunity.

I think this question has been asked prior to each imminent arrival of a new body. The one 'wish' that has always been asked for is a better, faster, AF system. We still don't have it yet. Will we get it on the next body? Let's hope so.

For the moment, I'm happy with my K20D's but any and all of the above requests would be on my wish list.

Congratulations, and I'm only sorry I don't need any of the kit you have on offer.

Which model is the 50mm 1:1.4?

Does it? So where can you buy Canon branded lenses with UK warranty with hoods included by Canon (not the dealer)?

I don't have anything bad, whatever 'it' is. I like Canon cameras, some of 'em anyway. I like Canon glass too. But I really like Nikon kit. My next system will most likely be a FF body from Canon or Nikon together with a couple of good fast zooms covering the 24mm to 200mm range because I think Pentax will continue to disappoint us on the AF issues surrounding their bodies and SDM lenses, particularly in low, but otherwise usable, light.

I'd forgotten about that one.

I use a hood, always. Other manufacturers, like Canon, don't supply hoods with any of their lenses.

Is it because their glass doesn't need one? Of course not, it's to make more money for Canon.

Pentax supplies hoods with most of their lenses, with the exception of the AL (budget) range to keep the cost down.

Google for "Pentax I10 reviews". Most of them report that the lens produces poor sharpness towards the edges of the frame, and poor noise control from ISO 400 and above.

This review is fairly typical.

Sledge hammer solution to crack a wlanut problem I think. I wouldn't bother. Go buy a Logitech web cam for not much money rather than tie up an expensive DSLR + lens.

£119.99 for a black one and £183.15 for a white one? Go figure . . . I can't, and the reviews aren't encouraging either.
