I think those stalks in the foreground detract slightly from the image. I want to see the bullet riddled sign (a common thing in rural NSW too).
Sharpness is great (must be one of those fancy K7 jobbies).
Anyway, have a good Christmas. We're in the minority here, enjoying a hot chrissie.

Merry Christmas all. I'm raising a glass to you as we speak.

ah, I'm driving up north tomorrow, forecast is for -30

I think our forecast is +30°C. No chance of snow here. I would have inserted a text speak "lol" there, but I hate text speak. IMHO it's FN RDCLS.
Anyway, drive safely, watch for 'roos through the heat haze (wait, that's here), I mean, polar bears and black ice.

Nice shots Laurence. The lizard, in particular, is my kind of picture. I'm pleased to see someone else flying the K100D flag (bwichmawr has one too). Just one question. How does the K200D compare to the K100? I'm thinking of a slight upgrade next year (more pixels), and my limited budget will only stretch to a used K200 or maybe a K20D.

I have a Tokina 28-70 AT-X f2.8, and I reckon it's a pretty good lens. Built like a tank, sharp, and makes me look better than I really am.
Here's some hastily taken shots.

If you can find one for a decent price, I'd recommend it. (Though I can't compare to the Sigma/Tamron versions).

Sounds fantastic. I reckon I'll get a good used one in about five years time, when I can afford it.

My thoughts are, with current digital cameras, the users "burn in". ie, we learn how to use the bloody things to their greatest advantage, subconsciouscly(do I win the spelling bee?).

Put them on Ebay, mate. Once the Americans get a sniff of them, the price may well go through the roof. My advice is to start the bidding for the least amount you'd be happy with. Start with 50 quid on each and see where it goes from there. You might not see any bidding action until the last 2 minutes of the auction, however.

I suppose I should have gone to see the Newcastle Jets whip LA Galaxy's arse, but it was a foregone conclusion. Sorry Mr. Beckham. Now, how about that cricket??

That 35-105 is a very good lens. I bought one with "fungus issues"for about 5 of your English squids, and it cleaned up just fine, and produces very good results. The real value, however,is probably around the 100 pound mark. I reckon the 75-150 might be similar in value. Good luck.
