The DA is supposed to be optimised for digital but both cover full format. The main difference is that the FA has the A ring whereas the DA doesn't. Not a problem on the K10 etc but if you have any older bodies, worth getting the FA. They seem to go for £200-250.

I use a Tamron 90mm 2.5 AF macro and its a superb lens. I picked it up from the UK for 120quid Money well spent i believe.
Keep an eye out for the Vivitar series one and the Kiron 100mm Macros also I have read they are just as good and you can pick them up for not much money.
Ebay seems pretty empty for macro atm.....

I will probably end up with a pure macro - I just have to figure if 70mm or 105mm is the best combo.
I would love the pentax 100mm but the price is just to high atm.
Some very good shots posted - thanks - haven't seen a cosina for a while - have looked for it though....

So far I got this:
K10D, A50mm 1:2 - M50mm 1:2 - M135mm 1:3.5 - Kit lens, FAJ 75-300 - Sigma 28-70 EX f2.8 and a vivitar 28-70 - a 28mm lens - Tripod manfrotto 055xpro with ballhead.
I was wondering to buy a flash - but not sure....probably wants a lens more than a flash. Either a macro or a tele (up to min 300mm). I do a lot of wildlife photos.
I do find the macro shot posted interesting.
This weekend we had a big photo show in Copenhagen. I was there
I had a talk with the Danish sales rep. regarding macro lenses (sigma). he told me the 70mm was the best selling atm. I thought it was the 105mm. Anyone know the difference - which one would you prefer?
I have read very good stuff about tokina/tamrom macro as well....So I'm pretty confused.
Besides macro I'm considering to replace the FAJ 75-300mm with a new and better tele. Still max is 300£. I have read the other threads lately - but still unsure what to pick...
Any guidance is appreciated.

1) I do like the B/w pictures where you pick out a single color. I think you executed them well - and I'm quite sure there is a demand for them - for weddings....
2) A lot of you pictures have to many elements - to much happens - which disturbs my eye. I really like your pictures with a single person - the kids are good! Those pictures gives me the feeling of a wedding.
3) Focus on the feelings - capture that......
Even though my wedding photographer used a C**** she made some really good pictures - where she captured the moment - the feelings.
Overall - I think your site - in time - will give you some work....Best of luck!
