EFL (equivalent focal length) is sometimes given, to give people an idea of how a lens would look on 35mm. But the true focal length remains what it is, regardless of crop factor, and this should be the focal length stated on the lens barrel not the 'EFL'.

Hmmm, what were the Samsung shots like? (Bet they're not as nice as the K01 shots - but did your son laugh when he saw that camera?)

I like the concentrated pose in the last one Gary.

Seems reasonable to me John - a quiet word via PM and perhaps they could update their entry description to include time and place of the shot.

Fascinating series.. I'm glad you chose that last shot for the competition, and not the preceding one...

Cheers John. I'm no 'wildlife photographer', so this one will do me OK!

Well it still takes a 'nice shot'. Got the chance to have a play with it when my niece was brought round this afternoon.

Forgot to add, c/w spare battery. But now sold, thanks.

It's a Sigma 70-300 APO. Your explanation sounds very plausible John. Now I look closer there's an outer ring (faint but complete) and an inner ring (partial but more distinct, and glinting like scratched glass).

I've noticed a recently bought lens has a white circle on the inside of the front element. It looks a bit perfectly circular to be fungus, could it be that the inner element has scratched against the inner lens barrel?

Doesn't seem to affect performance - very happy with this lens for the price I paid for it! Just don't want to have an outbreak of anything nasty on my other lenses.

Is that right Brian? I always set my cameras to sRGB, but distinctly remember inputting (c)will_brealey under the 'copyright exif data'.
