Superb set, all of these convey a strong image.

No 3 is my favourite, very Ansel Adams !

Majestic birds, and exceptionally good photos too.

Wonderful set of beautiful wildlife. The red squirrels steal the show, so cute.

My favourite is the last one, sharp or not.

Cracking set Gareth. Very difficult to choose a favourite, but I think Wall Lights for the non human subjects, and 2+6 for the organic kind

OK, I know this is going to be a daft question, but it's been bugging me, so here goes.

I have just purchased a used K-1 and I love it! I have a good selection of adequate lenses but there's one issue that is bothering me. Basically, is getting a 24mm wide angle 'prime'. worth any extra over an equivalent quality 28mm lens? I've seen assorted comparison images, all over the internet, but they don't seem to convey the 'feel' that comes with experience.
Well it is not a daft question. My daft answer however is of course is it is worth 4mm

Seriously though, you have had some good answers, but I will add a general point. The wider you go with lenses the more each millimetre has a noticeable effect. So 28 to 24 mm is a much larger jump in angle of view than 32 to 28mm. At the end of the day, it will be only you who can answer the question, depending on your typical needs. But I can say for my needs, a 21mm or 18mm or even a 15mm is a more valuable addition to a 28 than a 24

I know nothing about the tech of flash units, but just to say if you do go down the road of surgery, be very careful. Those capacitors hold a big charge, and you want to avoid your body completing a circuit.

Very poignant.

God bless the late Queen.
