Simon

A typically good set, and another lot of great captions. I hope that your eye is sorted out quickly.

Best wishes
Phil

I've never felt the inclination to put my Pentax, or anything similar on a set of scales, but whenever I pick my K-5iis up and compare its 'feel in the hand' to its counterparts from Canikon they ALWAYS feel light and flimsy in comparison.

That's not to make any comment about the quality of the images that they (the Canikon counterparts) produce because they do seem to be very good, but they do feel c*** to hold IMHO. To me, if you like how it feels when you pick it up, you're going to use it.

I'm thinking that could look good if shot early evening, when the lights have been switched on.
+1 - it would add an additional dimension which I think this needs.

I'd throw the Tamron SP 90mm f2.8 into the mix. Very highly thought of 1:1 macro.

Hard to choose a favourite, but this has to be in the running. It is a reminder of a lovely holiday, and a great day being guided around Tuscany by Giulio57. It's also in B&W which I love, and finally I think that the clouds are great.

I voted 'Never', although to be completely honest I have played with it 3 or 4 times. If I wanted a video camera I would have brought one - they're cheap enough.

Regent Street v2 has trumped the others IMHO.

Looking forward to seeing some images from Mallory
