That's a very un-graceful looking vessel! Look more like wind turbines or pylons than sail masts.

I would have a go at ISO1600 if it was that or not taking the shot. I imagine aircraft would clean up very easily in LR / Topaz denoise, especially if the light is good.

When's the robot version due?

In reality the cops do let you off going a few mph over. They rightly target the dangerous speeders rather than bothering with someone doing 75.

I imagine it depends on the particular primes but the 35 f2.4 will be up there with the best of them. I imagine it would be similar to the 35 f2 which is probably it's ancestor, but be better than the f2.8.

Erphoto have done some good reviews of new and old primes in the 35mm / 50mm range. Lenses like the 50 f1.7 still hold their own.

They allow cropping. He probably should have cropped the image and be done with it. Of course in this instance cropping or cloning have the same result- no effect on the image's content. (And it's not a hard hitting news story here anyway). But there have been cases where images have been cropped and it has dramatically changed the story they told. You can decide not to frame certain things in shot and mislead the viewer. This is kind of what photography is about - emphasising and de-emphasising certain things to tell a story. All trickery. The key thing is whether the photographer is honest, or deliberately sets out to create a distorting picture.

Ooh, harsh. I understand the reason for the rules, and he should have raised the fact that he had done some cloning with the editors if he was in any doubt. But as it didn't change the image content materially, it should have been a 'yellow card' situation imo. He's being punished extra harshly, imo, for the dishonest manipulations done by other photographers which AP should have picked up on, and which caused them embarrassment.

You can be sure that when (if) it does... You'll have a wide angle like the 10-20 mounted!

No.2 is a great 'head shot'! I imagine fishing and photography go pretty well together. Be ready for that kingfisher landing on the edge of your rod

Genuinely mint condition, but no box / pouch.

Works with all lenses but no support for AF with SDM lenses as far as I know. It will work fine with screwdrive lenses, and I've used it with my Tamron 90mm AF macro (converting it into a 135mm macro!)
