I imagine if I had a DA35 I would have a similar response!

If new prices were a little lower it would be tempting to flog the Sonar and the Flek to fund a DA35, but I don't have the £100+ to put to it unfortunately.

I'm afraid it looks like a slightly motion blurred image of a man about to get very wet feet to me.

I can't bring myself to part with my Flek, I love it to pieces, but I have two Sonar 135 F3.5s so one of them may well be going on ebay soon.

perhaps we should all join a beer forum and start a thread entitled CAMERAS!

hehe

surely 2 lenses is the minimum necessary to justify ownership of a System camera? or am I just in denial?

looks like the piece of wood he just took off from is pretty sharp, it's interesting if nothing else. Has a feeling of action to it.

some say the Kiron 105 is the best macro ever made by anyone. I'm not sure that's true, but it's certainly a cracking lens. My Dad has one in less than mint condition which still makes my Tamron SP90mm (itself a fine lens) look like a beer bottle in comparison.

the Kiron/Vivitar Series 1/Lester A Dine 105mm F2.8 macro is stunning and easily deserves it's reputation. I don't know if it's genuinely better than the DFA 100 Macro, but I'd be surprised and impressed if it's noticably worse.

the ability to adjust the "target shutter speed" of Auto-ISO.

last time I used Auto-ISO I felt it bumped the ISO before I would have. On the other hand if I were shooting moving subjects I would want the ISO bumped faster.

I guess you can do this in a way with TAv, but it seems to me that it would just be a firmware change and might come in handy.
