That does look good. I would not rule out stumping up for something like that which is so compact and light yet presumably extends to a decent height.

I love John's first (neutral) version - nice and fresh.

Robin, I was going to say that it sounds like you and Robbie were meeting up for a private 'measurebation-fest', but you put it much better yourself -

I think both are great but the pose and backlighting in no.1 is particularly appealing.

Where is the yellow hue coming from? Is it a conscious choice, the WB setting, or is it the result of the HDR software? Otherwise it's a nice shot though.

Personally, I would try to simulate some real world shots e.g. portraits and see if the lens performs OK there. I can't tell how big these screws were in the frame in the original shots. It could be that the central focus point is just too big to differentiate which screw the focus should be on. Or it could indeed be back-focusing.

Are the shots cropped?

Shot two looks like it's focused on the 5th screw, or at least between the 4th and the 5th. I would over-ride the AF in this sort of situation normally, as the focus points do lock on the wrong thing sometimes. Is the lens front or back focussing in normal shots, when there's no chance of the AF system being 'confused'?

Robbie... seek help!

For me it's just that I can buy a lens with a level of image quality or speed which I couldn't really afford from the current DA line up. For instance the K135/2.5 costs vastly less, and is smaller, than the DA50-135mm. (There is no current prime lens equivalent, and even if there was it would still be expensive).

Well, you are either lacking in taste or curiosity, because Birmingham definitely has it's charms. I'm not from Birmingham, I grew up in the Derbyshire Dales, but find Birmingham an interesting place to take pictures, and quite charming in places. Granted I would probably prefer to have a walk in the Outer Hebrides, but it's probably not the best place for photographing street scenes... and it doesn't have a Jessops!
