Wow I love these contrasty Black and White images. I need this plug in!

That's a shame Andrew!

Any ideas for the location? I've got a couple of thoughts - option 1, around Chrome Hill and then on to The Roaches / Lud's Church. Option 2, Crich Tramway Museum and then down to Cromford Canal via Duke's Quarries?

You could try shooting people - either street candids or set up portraits. People always provide different and interesting subject matter no matter where you are. I would have thought Athens would be a great place for Street photography!

Iam never discouraged Ken just fed up with others that get involved in some thing they shouldn't I get over 200 emails a week from u tube people asking me to help them and saying thank you for the videos I do, so that can never discourage me.
but when I post on this site to help some here as iam a Pentax user for some reason an augment starts now my be its green eye or they are just being bloody minded I have a no idea?

But iam fed up with it as I really don't under stand if we all are on this site to help why does this happen ???????? I really would like to know that ??
I do think that that's why a lot of the best photographers have left the site for this reason and has and could make the site go down hill fast with all this.
as a paying member to this site should be able to post and get none of this crap on here? I don't think I will be renewing my member ship next year when it runs out.
but i will say I will not put any more videos on Pentax users again.
Shaun, lighten up old chum. It's one single thumbs down on YT. If you're going to let things like that discourage you, you might as well throw in the towel right now. Just keep doing what you're doing. 'Haterz gonna hate' so rise above it and don't get drawn into creating these arguments

in certain respects (ie, high optical quality and very compact), the F35-70 fits in with the Ltds very well indeed
Yes but not aesthetically! It's a 'beauty and the beast' combo

I do have a vested interest since I am selling a 70mm right now! But I would say that the f2.4 of the 70mm is slightly faster than any fast zoom in that range, and the light weight of the lens would make it easier to hand hold than a zoom if monopods are out.

However if light gathering is the primary concern and f2.8 / f2.4 is still not fast enough, it wouldn't be a zoom I would be looking for. I'd be looking at the Sigma 85/1.4. Or if MF is a possibility, the Samyang 85/1.4 which is a bit cheaper
