Two really strong images full of interest, but #2 is particularly special (see Chris's comments above!).

I interpreted the OP as 'which lens that you own'. Don't suppose many of us have the FA31 ?

To be a bit different- the DA40 Ltd. 18-135 zoom might be more versatile, but sentimental attachment to the tiny 40 trumps this. If you only get one lens you've got to truly love it, right ?

Got to say, I absolutely adore the DA Ltds. Part of this is the sheer joy of using such beautifully engineered, compact lenses. I could wax fetishistic-ally about their tactile appeal, solid construction, cleverly designed hoods etc etc. But lets just say that I find the process of using them a major reward of the hobby, which is probably a good thing given my photographic abilities

I also remember being persuaded of their benefits after reading posts by a certain forum member located in Storbritannia .

There. Hope that helps Jules in his dilemna

Two great shots, but I particularly love the stunning depth of field in #1

#3 for me. Can never resist a foreground boulder shot

Thinking of investing in a 10 stopper to try out some long exposure stuff - I've a weeks hols on Ardnamurchan coming up, so thinking of seascapes etc.

Any advice on a good 'un? I'm eyeing up the B&W 77mm - which I could get step down rings for use on smaller lenses. £75 via amazon and seems to be well regarded, but other suggestions welcome. I wondered if I'd be maybe be better investing in a square filter system (HiTec probably, Lee is v hot price wise!)?

What do folk who use 10 stoppers have????

Amazing blues in the last three. Polariser?

Liking #2 (very striking) and #5 (for the Monet-ish feel)

Thought I'd try the new 'direct upload' facility with shots of swans getting, ehem, friendly on the River Cam. Not my usual thing at all, but whenever I take the 55-300 out I really enjoy it. Note to self - use it more
