Looking at getting a big stopper myself.
Trouble it seems uncertain when they can deliver and i have heard talk of 6 months.

However I have come across the Hitech Pro Stop ND filters, make sure you get the pro version. Fits Lee filter holders too.

Theres a review here http://blog.robertstrachan.com/archives/1314/hitech-pro-stop-review/

Available direct for just £60 I think I am going to give one a go.

As a start to my 'come back' into photography I got up really early today (Boxing day) to get some early morning light.
Not much light about so went to Padley Gorge to try and salvage something out of the day.

Anyway this is my first edit of the first frame.

C&C welcome

I have a Sigma T/C 1.4xEX DG which has been sitting happily on a Sigma 100-300.
I have just tried fitting it to a Sigma 50mm 1:2.8 DG Macro but cannot get it to fit. Both fit the camera

Is it me or the lens?

Don't save it as a Jpeg until you have finished editing though.
A Jpeg will degrade as you edit it a PSD or Tiff will not.

I have a K20d with DA16-50 currently fitted
I seem to remember reading if you have manual focus switch on the lens you should use this over the one on the body?

Not sure if that is correct, however if I use the lens switch and leave the one on the body to AFS then the shutter will not operate until its in focus, so which is correct?

2 & 4 both nice, nice angle on 2 but i find the background slightly distracting. 4 is nicely balanced and good use of dof
