Re DLSRs, I wouldn't be that much more uncomfortable using one than a new-looking compact, which are probably easier to fence. The X100 would be ideal, as most yobs would probably just think it was one of those useless 'film' cameras.

I was watching Jo Frost: Extreme Parental Guidance last night, and thought it was quite telling in light of what's just happened. Basic commonsense in parenting has gone out of the window There's room for toughness AND being caring.

Optics of the lens has been constructed based on the system of 13 lenses arranged in 12 groups. It should be noted that 4 lenses has been made of the low-dispersion glass (ED), while two another are aspheric lenses. We have also employed multi-layered and anti-reflexive coatings of UMC type adding to the perfect light transmission. Samyang 24 mm F1.4 ED AS UMC has been designed to work with most popular reflex cameras produced by renown manufacturers and equipped with small-image sensors or smaller. The lens will be available with a mount for the following systems: Canon, Four Thirds, Nikon AE, Pentax, Samsung NX and Sony Alpha.
24mm focus is tailor-made for most of the sensors available on the market today. In the case of full-frame cameras, it constitutes a high-quality wide-angle lens perfect for street, landscape and architecture shooting. Whereas photographers using DX sensors will get just perfect lens for the purposes of calmer journalist and landscape photography. The lens attached to Four Thirds cameras will create a universal and bright construction corresponding to the 50mm focus.
It's a big lens, but getting the FF equivalent of 35mm/f2 on an APSC camera is quite appealing for those of us who like DOF control and bokeh etc, but can't afford / don't want a Nikon D700.
