Ditto, it's a lovely lens and you can make the focal range work for most situations. (A 24mm in the pocket comes in handy when 35 isn't wide enough though!)

Taking his pets for a walk? (Poor things!) Nice shots.

(My partner is Namibian and told me as kids they used to tether grasshoppers on threads and keep them as 'pets' until they eventually died) :/

I distinctly remember it on my K7 (just a tiny 'chirk' as the SR motor kicks in) but it was fairly unobtrusive.

The movie SR is there to dampen out sudden sharp movements (think steadicam). Mechanical SR seemed to do a better job, at the expense of introducing crunching noises in the audio recording. The software based movie SR is silent but not as smooth (and requires the image to be slightly cropped).

QuestionableCarrot.... tightly framed candid portraits with carefully controlled DOF. He obviously can get his sitters to feel comfortable and relaxed with being photographed, which comes over in the pictures.

I agree with Nigel. For my general photography purposes I don't overthink what card I'm using. I just go for a recognised brand and 8gb plus, and that's all the consideration I give it.

Re your software, Laura, since you've already bought it why not just try it and let us know how you get on

The beauty of Sony's full frames is they'll accept pretty much any full frame lens out there, from Leica to Nikon to Voigtlander to Pentax. Via an appropriate adapter.

A thorough user review and comparison (with sample images) with the 16-50/18-135 here

Super work! No.3 is my favourite. The mirrored versions are fascinating though.

The 50-135 is a very very lovely lens. It's so handy having the constant f2.8. The Tamron 17-50 would complement it well, so I would persevere with that one... maybe try calibrating the focus? I found mine was slightly backfocusing but it's fine now.

The 16-85mm is tempting though, I'll give you that!
