Tamron 90mm Macro for sale in tip top condition. Sale price of £240.00 to include RMSD in the UK or Airsure/signed for delivery in the EU. (International delivery is at the buyer's risk - full insurance would be extra if required).

No offers please. This is a great lens and I'm not in any great rush to part with it. I just find I'm not using it as much as I had expected.

Box, leatherette pouch and caps included.




(The only tiny cosmetic flaw is that tiny white scuff directly below the 'Di' lettering on the focus ring).

Results for a more common camera, the D300, are a bit more plausible. People usually upgrade their cameras before shutter problems occur, or something else goes wrong, so it's always going to be hard to get a complete picture.

Are people more likely to seek out and participate in such a site if they do run into shutter problems?

I'm afraid it sounds like a mistaken assumption on my part David

But the button works in exactly the same way I take it? If it's doing something else, it would be interesting to know.

But does a short eared owl have a choice of 5 adjustable spray patterns? Lovely set, but I agree several are a bit washed out. I love the treecreeper shot, superb. They're quite shy birds I think so well done.

No it doesn't bother me either, although sometimes it's nice to be able to see a commenter's work, to see where they're coming from. I can see why some people would be bothered though, if they kept getting harsh comments from someone.

As far as I can tell, everyone who has participated in this thread gives fair and reasonable comments without shying away from suggesting improvements. If Jeff has ruffled feathers, it must be some sort of misunderstanding, as all his recent comments are very polite.

Yes please don't get upset Jeff, the suggestion was made as friendly advice, given your problems with negative reactions to your comments. It's a general point that when criting images, its important not to be to brusque, whether you mean to be or not.

Jeff I was just trying to explain why people may criticise you for some remarks, so you have an insight. It was not meant to be an attack, just advice as to how you can improve on how your posts come across.

By the way, I am on the French forum K par K, and despite my appalling French, still manage to use commas and full stops. If you do away with punctuation altogether, your words spill out and make you look like you are ranting

I think that's because you have no pictures uploaded so it's hard for people to judge where you're coming from. Also your comments are usually short with no punctuation so that leaves plenty of room for misunderstanding, and people may be seeing a 'tone' which isn't intended. And, while we all should forgive and forget, your entrance onto the forum was argumentative and sour, when you stoked controversy about the competitions.

They use the green button, but otherwise work in exactly the same way. Only reason the kx uses the exposure compensation button is there's no room for a green button! A far as I know the other post-k20d cameras also got improved stop down metering.

Mark makes a good point about retaining your own individual style.

That said I do think the bloom is a bit close to the right hand side and seems to be facing out of shot as Dr.O says

Sometimes it's really hard to find a bloom that's facing the right way, in the right position, and not too decayed etc. If you did a bit of 'gardening' to get everything where you wanted it, I'm sure no-one would notice!

I like the lighting. You could almost call it chiaroscuro
