The 70 is also an excellent lens but I find the K5 doesn't love it as much as the K20 did. Weird. Still a good buy at the price. You'd have 3 tiny lenses of excellent quality.

Yes especially if you have a K5 which seems to love my 21.

Or get a cheap wireless adapter off ebay and that will protect your Kr and also get the flash away from the camera I got something like this and it's very useful. Then I got an optical slave for a fiver and I could fire two remote flash guns.

I pass this studio a lot and the photos in teh window look OK but what does that prove? her web site looks too but what does that prove. She does however exist and is local.

Since you ask ...

My main concern is that my eye flicks from that central tree to the ripples bottom right. The secondary concerns are that the big tree is very central and hence demands the attention that should go to the boat house. You've also cropped the tree tops top left.

On the other hand the colours and clarity are delightful.

Have you guys dropped the 'must be taken in the 14 days etc.' rule? Most of the entries seem to be way out of that range.

Hmm, dancers are moving and I can sort of understand burst although I do feel that one, and especially someone with your skills, should be able to anticipate the right, or indeed decisive moment, in dance.

Natural light, posed model - you should be using a 10x8 film camera so that you make sure each and every shot counts not 500 an hour which is 8 shots a minute. However, that's an old fashioned buffer talking who used a 6x6 TLR and took a week to take 12 shots talking using Pan F. Again with your level of skill I would deem myself failing if I required burst and quantity to get the shot I wanted as it's almost random or Brownian motion not your innate skill.

But we're all different and what gets the result is what counts and I know very well I couldn't achieve what you do no matter how I tried.

Incidentally if you need any derelict stone cottages as a location in and around Mid Wales I know of a couple near Barmouth. let me know and I can forward photos.

Yep.

Hang on you take mainly posed nudes in the countryside what in hell do you want burst mode for? Are you going to get the poor girl to leap about or something? I'd have thought with that type of photography you could take half an hour per shot to get perfection before hitting the release?

Don't hesitate for one moment. Buy the 35/f2 which is excellent quality and smaller than the 35 macro.
