On re-reading your title, am I right in thinking you'd like to get your hands on either a 35-105mm or a 35-135mm zoom lens?
Indeed you are.

Yes I saw them reposted for £150 bin but I could resist .. mainly because they are so shiny

I bought a Tamron 1.4X off Ebay last week, its the last version with the SDM contacts and that cost £85 incl postage from the USA .. and that was a reasonable price

Just came back to this and my photos have gone, maybe because I moved them in Flickr.
Anyway, wanted to see the difference in the dog after 7 weeks ..

Ok, thanks all.
I have just this minute had a friend walk in from the UK who bought my 8 gig sdhc card that I ordered from play.com so I will stick the settings on 10mp Jpeg + Raw and then I can play with both formats.

Cheers for the tips.

Should I be shooting in Raw or Jpeg though, these were 6 megapixel jpegs just run through Corel Paint shop pro photo (quickfix)

I really didn't expect anything other than brutal honesty from this forum

I realise they are all a bit ordinary although just getting something in focus is a bonus for me (even with AF), but I will say a couple of things in my defense.

1. The pagoda isn't vertical anyway, its next door and falling down.
2. I did the dog soft on purpose .. that is my favourite pic by a mile.
3. As you realised, not a lot can do about the lighting .. well I supose there probably is in photographic terms but at the moment I wouldn't have an idea of what to do.

At least I didn't walk away from the monitor in tears after your comments, which is a bonus.
