It's a great shot, great shooting angle.

Shot 2's nice. But my god that ventriloquist monkey routine is wearing thin! Saw her do that about 10 years ago!

I like the location. Good idea with the ladder. Look forward to seeing the results of the shoot!

Shame no one commented! Like 1 and 2 a lot. Great how the red stripes 'follow through'.

'Thor' would make a great name!

My money's on 'Darren' though.

The k30 is worth a really serious look. The k50 is basically the same camera with a restyling job! I switched from a k7 to a k10d to a k30 and the k30 is my favourite.

Cheers... It's the range at the longer end I'm more interested in, to complement the Tammy 17-50. Looks like the DA50-135 probably wins.

When they have one that also prints out a full frame sensor, I'll be interested....

I've got an F35-105mm lens for longer portrait shots, and it's great BUT - A) it's not fast, so difficult to use in low light or to isolate subject and B) the AF is noisy and could be a little snappier.

It looks like there aren't any cheap options (with AF) so I think I am looking at the DA50-123/f2.8, the old non-OS Sigma 50-150/f2.8, or perhaps even the DA70/f2.4 which is cheaper but obviously less versatile. (FA77 is sadly a bit out of my price league!)

Cut to the chase, which one is best? Leaning towards the DA50-135/f2.8, but have slight concerns about the AF...
