The new Sigma looks very good, but I think the Tamron 17-50mm remains best value - and it's nice and compact. Alternatively you have the pentax 17-70mm or 16-45mm but 'only' f4.

The kit lens is OK stopped down a bit but a pixel peeper or bokeh fan will not love it. Think of it as a specialist 'rainy weather' lens

Yes the way you can use older lenses with no fuss or special adapters is great, and some of those lenses are top notch. Great build quality, class leading high ISO performance, well thought out helpful features (like the horizon auto-levelling) and of course - in-body shake reduction that works on any lens you can fit to the camera!

Excellent shot!

I love the first IR shot. Extremely nice comp and I like the weird effect.

I'm going to comb through my old archives - I often shoot RAW+Jpeg, and used to shoot Jpeg all the time on my istDL2. The istDL2 images are smaller and already heavily sharpened in-camera, so they may stand a better chance of looking OK!

I love the contrast between the still and moving people. I'd like to see it framed with none of the blank floor above the stripes - so that the stripes continue out of the frame if you know what I mean!

Can you copy a RAW file back onto an SD card and run it through the camera's default settings to make a jpeg?

As I understand it you can have in-camera sharpening / filters / colour modes so long as they're preselected. Before you take the shot.

Hmm actually doesn't look too bad Hyram... maybe I'll throw caution to the wind and try the same method!

It was a lot easier when you had an actual colour filter in front of the camera... Instant preview of how the tones would end up looking. I guess trying different b&w filters and seeing how things look in liveview would be interesting.

I guess it's perceived as Idolatrous?
