it was dry today, so i took the camera on one of today's many dog walks.
i'm reasonably happy with this, being straight out of the camera, only changed to jpeg and added my name. could be a little more crisp, but hey ho. improvement comes with practice.

was on a daytime shift today, so just took my little terrier for a change. had a play with my new sigma DL 70-300mm. I must say, I do like this lens so far.
chuck norris, the patterdale terrier
random bit of grass
and took this off my SMC DA 18-55

haha, oddly enough i've just been reading that thread. some nice results there. i've seen an FA SMC 28-80 for cheap. that's just a slightly newer version,right?

ah ok, if the image quality isn't all that good, then i'll leave the cash til i can pick up something better quality.
just been reading some reviews, and it seems the F type isn't all that sharp. but the similarly priced FA versions are actually very sharp (according to review-ists). will do some more searching, maybe take a punt.

just mooching around to see what I can get hold of to play with really.
These 2 seem to be very reasonably priced. is that because theyre common? or because theyre no good?
namely the F 28-80mm f3.5-5.6 and the F SMC 35-80mm f4.5-5.6.
both £25-£40. seems a steal really.
how do they compare to the DA 18-55mm kit lens from my k100d super?

i think the top one would have worked better with a square crop with the top portion only. it would look more wild and prehistoric without any trace of people, or the path
