Thanks for the comments - the colour is pretty much "as-is", a very slight increase in saturation, the sun was hitting the lighthouse quite strongly

Having caught a sunrise shot of the Beaumaris Pier "coastal sunrise" I just made it to Penmon Point to catch another shot

The Sandisk cards I bought a while ago came with "Rescue Pro", apparently it's pretty good at rescueing files

After browsing around for a 4GB SDHC card I found the DANE-ELEC card, nearly half the price of a Sandisk - anyone any experience of this:

I love my 50mm F1.7, small, light, fast and sharp, yet also cheap. It's a dream come true.
In my very short time with the 50mm 1.7 I'm inclined to agree - I paid £32 for the lens on Ebay, bargain considering it's capabilities

Check that the focus mode switch on the camera is set to manual - otherwise it will only take a photo when the subject at the focus point is exactly in focus (useful under some circumstances but generally a pain).
Thats the answer I was looking for Tony, silly me !!

I really am impressed by the sharpness and IQ of this lens

Just received a used 50mm 1.7 lens I bought on ebay for very little and I'm extremely impressed, sharpness is something else.

One minor problem, probably just me, but occasionally it won't take the shot when the shutter release is pressed ?

thanks

I've received the F1.7 "A" from Ebay & am very impressed. Manual focus is easy with the focus confirmation too.
