How you correct for that sort of distortion is a different matter.

Its pretty easy in light room, just do your editing as normal then press the + button next to where all the light room presets are. In the dialogue box which comes up, tick the adjustments you want applied to all future shots.

Definitely no. 5 for me, lovely shot. Agree with comments re contrast / exposure.

The 18-55 will get you close enough to nearly fill the frame with a very large flower, like a hydrangea or one of those huge clematis flowers. The macro lens will allow you to fill the frame with very small flowers, or the individual parts of the clematis etc. It will also be better at blurring out the background in portraits etc because it is longer, and faster.

I am toying with the idea of selling my Tamron 90 (AF). Excellent lens, but I'm just not doing any macro, and have just bought a fast tele.

It is a superb little lens, well worth what you paid. I've been using mine a lot recently.

Well done David. I always liked the first image. I don't remember seeing the second one before but it is a really good example of how someone with a good eye can make something out of seemingly nothing. Lovely photograph.

No, I like the look of the NEX too. But from Ricoh's perspective, the GRX is clearly moving away from 'lensors' to modules with a lens mount. People who want to compromise on quality for compactness can get the Q module, people who want to compromise on compactness for quality (or just want a backup to their Pentax DSLR) can get the K module. If you can't make your mind up, get both. Might work.

Ricoh already market small sensor modules for the GRX, I can see them interested in an imterchangeable lens version, which is where the Q line fits in.

I would sell all your long zoom lenses except the Tamron, sell the K10D, and add £300 to afford a good second hand K5 now or a new one when prices come down several months down the line. How often do you use your 50/1.2? A lot of cash tied up in that lens
