Both are excellent, but for me #2 wins it.

Nice car - I particularly like #1 which has a dynamic quality that i like.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I've tried it with a couple of slower screw drive lenses and it works fine.

it's just not happy on the SDM ones.

Phil

I have a Kenko P-AF 1.4x MC4 multiplier that has developed a bizarre problem when paired with my DA*16-50. It simply will not auto-focus - the camera display rapidly 'flickers' between MF & AF but the lens will not autofocus. I have tried cleaning the contacts on both the lens and the multiplier but the problem still occurs.

However, when I use it with any other of my fast lenses it works fine, i.e. it auto-focuses in whichever mode I have selected.

Any suggestions/thoughts?

Phil

I really like 4 and 6 (less so).

But what I really like to see is the experimentation - it doesn't matter if you (or anyone else) doesn't like the result the fact that different things are tried will inevitably mean that there will be some great results (sometimes!!!!).

Phil

Nice!

It's 15 & 16 for me, but they all make a really good set.

Phil

Excellent still life - really interesting mixture of textures and colours. I also like the fact that the colours appear slightly muted and the light level that you have chosen to give us.

Phil

Wow - your old kit still works then!!

Phil

The only advice I would give you would be to talk to the one of the club's committee, or a regular member if you know one, to find out the style they like, i.e. lots of talk about the kit, or not; lots of detail about what settings you used for each image, or not; lots and lots of images, or a smaller number but explored in a bit more depth.

A quick discussion with someone from the club in advance will give you a steer.
