Yeah, not to mention that pros often work with a big gap between their wide angle zoom and their tele zoom.

Some might have thought I was a victim of LBA, but I haven't bought any new glass in over a year. Truth is I was just trying to find what I liked, to be exactingly high standards and sometimes middling budget. I simply do not find the need to try tons of second-rate glass. Though if I had infinite income and time I can see how it would be a fun pastime in itself.

Er, sorry, I think I misinterpreted. Just read your extensive sig. But great deal on the lens!

Well the wishlist just got shorter, bought a DA 15mm Ltd on Ebay for £340, boxed mint. Not sure what the going price is, but couldn't resist the temptation, only the FA 31 Ltd left on the list now.

OMG, that's crazy! Do you mean to say you have the 21, 35, 40, 43, 70 and 77 already? Amazing!

If you want a brew pub (and who doesn't?) there are two down-town: Messrs Maguire at O'Connell Bridge and The Porterhouse the other side of Temple Bar. Both are on the same side of the Liffey to where you are staying. Unfortunately the former has gone rather generic since it changed owners (well, I haven't been there in a while) and the latter can be crazy loud on weekends. But the drink is good.

Watch your gear carefully if you go out at night.

That last shot is lovely.

I use the FA77 for macros all the time, since I can pocket a screw-on "filter" that does the job. Saves me lugging around the Vivi 105mm.

You should read my article Perspective Distortion, Sensor Size And Portraiture.

As far as focus goes, simply learn to use manual. It works well for models and other subjects that are not moving quickly.

Be nice if you would title your thread more accurately.

If it's just a rumour, please say so.

If the DA* 16-50mm is your sort of thing and you want a companion for it, the glaringly obvious choice is the DA* 50-135mm.

If they never ask YOU to send money to THEM then it cannot be a scam.
