Outstanding - thanks for showing your work

Well thanks to the excellent service of SRS Microsystems I recieved 2 decent lenses today at what I thought was a bargain price

1 s/h 16-45 with box caps and hood for £175 and a brand new 18-55 mk 11 for £39. I know they are similar in focal lenghts but at £39 for a brand new 18-55 mk2 lens I thought that was a bargain total £214 odd plus postage for the two .

I thought i might do some basic side by side tests on the 18-55 mk one the 18-55 mk11 and the 16-45. My initial thoughts on the 16-45 with a few indoor snaps is that its a lot sharper than my original 18-55 lens - its focusing is smoother and its an all round uber nice lens i have not tried the 18-55 mk2 lens yet.

16-45 from srs at £230 & an A50 1.7 for about £45 get those two and play with them for a while then see what else you need - probobly an nice macro - maybe an older but good tamron sp90 macro? about £150 and you still have £150 to play with

I have three of the one listed - SMC-M 28mm F2.8 - SMC 55mm F1.8
SMC-M 75-150mm F4

They usually go for between 25 - 45 each at the moment. I use the 55 f1.8 the most but they are all good sharp lenses

sorted via srs microsystems now thanks
