Thanks Kris.

They actually went over this on the tour, the stadium actually goes by 2 names, 'Upton Park' and 'The Boleyn Ground'. Upton Park because its based on the grounds of a park in Upton, and the Boleyn ground because the stadium is built within the grounds of what was once a Royal Palace, and in particular the one in which Henry the 8th courted Anne Boleyn.

Their actual street address is 'The Boleyn Ground'.

I can't remember the last time i read a manual for anything to be honest, the internet has made them mostly redundant for me.

Youtube is excellent for Lightroom videos, lots of talented people on there.

Also, to be fair to Adobe, they do have a pretty extensive learning area on their website for Lightroom, all for free: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/lightroom/tutorials.html

But, I do agree, if you're buying a boxed copy of something it should perhaps come with at least a quick start guide.

Thanks

That must be why it wasn't on the tour...

Christmas present from the Mrs was a trip to West Ham Utd for the Farewell Boleyn tour, as was expected the tour was pretty busy (40 in total) so getting any decent pics was challenging. These are the only 2 I would really share, was a good day out though.

look forward to seeing som images

I'd considered the Tamron but the noisy autofocus put me off, a lot of reviews seem to favour the Sigma over it, but I doubt theres much in it.

The Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 looks very nice indeed....but sadly I couldn't quite stretch my budget to that!

great shots, the one of Belfast is my fave

Hi all,

Long time since I posted here!

After years of using the ever reliable 18-55 DAL (and then the DA AL) lens on my KX I have finally purchased myself something new, I am now the proud owner of a Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM.

I'm very impressed so far, I've not had much of a chance to actually use the lens as I've been working but the build quality is excellent, it feels lovely and weighty (will take some getting used to on the very small and light KX) and I'm blown away by how quiet the auto-focus is compared to my Pentax lenses.

The whole item feels very pro.

The only let down is the lack of quick-shift, but I guess I can live without it, oh and the fact that the zoom goes in the opposite direction to my Pentax lenses (madness!).

Who else has this lens? what are your experiences with it? and as I'm now completely sold on Sigma lenses....what other ones should I buy in future to complement it? (I already have the Pentax 55-300 DAL)

I'll report back with some shots soon (hopefully).

Hi, is there any warranty left on this?

Lens has now been received, thanks very much.

I used to be more active...then I became a father, I will be posting more pictures once I put together a new computer...
