Not HDR not a fan of this technique. What i'm after is , i expose one shot for the sky and one for the foreground then go into PSE7 and combine the two together .

Hi, something i really struggle with is editing my photos . Being colour blind is not a great starting point ,but my main issues are when it comes to (struggling for the correct terminology) blending/stacking several bracketed shots into one to make one image .PSE7 is all i have apart from the very basic Picasa3 . I can kind of use layers but on in the very basic sense of the word lol . Any help would be great .

It may be normal though, so if it takes good pictures why return it? If the price was low, it could be worth keeping.
When I look through the view finder to focus ,the wobble is quite pronounced and it just feels like end is going to fall off .

Good idea to return it. The focusing ring needs to be right.

There are plenty of them around and they go for a lot less than they are worth on ebay.

I know it's only a cheapo lens but I'm a VERY tight Scot so it has to be right

I'm not happy on how loose the focus ring is so lens is going to be returned. Shame because it produces lovely sharp images without too much effort . The chances of coming across another one for the money I paid is slim I think .

I wouldn't call it excessive ,probably just used to the other lenses i have being the total opposite .

Thanks
