It looks a great lens, and 35mm is a sweet focal length both for film or digital IMO. Wanting a DA 35mm puts me off a bit though.

Sorry Mike, I had already put it on ebay and unfortunately it's just been bid on, after very little interest for days... so i'll let it run its course. I don't think you would have been thrilled with it to be honest

Now £45 + postage.

It's pretty simple in PS... click the text tool 'T', set the font, size and colour from the options which come up, and click where you want to type. You'll probably need to selct the text and increase the font size (Don't do this by stretching the text after you've finished or it can get pxellated).

Once you've done it, save as a jpeg but instead of going through the same process for each shot, keep the photoshop file open and bring in the other shots by copying and pasting them, and move the layer of each one behind the text layer before saving a jpeg of each one.

You could save the PSD file for future use, to make it quicker.

Quite like the bright dreamy look of the first, but the gravestones shot is great, they look like they're marching in file or something like that

Yep, I meant the 'received wisdom' position, not what has been said in this thread.

And great photos they are too, Graham. That Sigma lens is beginning to exert a draw on me now!

Like Chris A I've been using linear pols, and I always put their effect on exposure to the reduction of glare from reflective surfaces and darkening of the sky as you turn the filter! Even so, I haven't had any problems in practice, so i'll continue using one. And I still think its misleading to say they don't work and you need the circular type. A bit like saying M series lenses don't work and you must only use A series.

Well Steve, "sorry but" the point I was making was precisely how unreliable that magazine turned out to be!

I agree on your second point too, but of course there are differences between lenses, and you might as well spend your hard earned cash on the one that performs best for the money.

That word perfectly describes the activity of flicking back and forth between Ebay and the Pentax Lens Review Database!
