Most definitely

That 120mm is tiny. Me wants! Was using the 135mm wide open last weekend on the k7. Ok so not the sharpest but fine if you don't pixelpeep, and so cheap and discreet.

Coincidentally my car insurance has just paid out 450.00 for an incedent from last year.

Hmm.

Live view allows you to zoom in to check focus.

7dayshop stock them, about two quid each for the 2CR5 batts IIRC.

I think this is a very special photo indeed, one which I have viewed many times. It is a fascinating shot with a definite surreal quality. The positioning of the elements couldn't be better, every little detail seems just right and the tonal range looks terrific. One of the best photos I have seen on this site.

True dat.

Yep, and I like it very much! Extra DR would sometimes be nice though.

Re the 15mm, I found this link interesting (also for the 18-135mm WR) https://picasaweb.google.com/100586096103361553535/Comparo?authkey=Gv1sRgCLOD9Lj...

Tav can decouple the relationship between aperture and shutter speed, and leave ISO as the variable. This allows aperture and shutter speed to be adjusted in a fully controlled way, rather than one having a knock on effect on the other. In other words, forget about how much light you need. Just set whatever combination of shutter speed and aperture suit your purpose creatively.

Is there any practical difference between using one of these and a normal microfibre cloth, which are about 99p? I don't think I'd hesitate to use a freshly opened microfibre cloth on my lenses.
