I've just placed an order via Amazon (3p cheaper!!) Currently I have a Redsnapper - which is excellent, but not CF - so I'll post a comparison. Thanks for the heads-up; I believe this is very much what we should be doing

Tubular Bells!! Lady GaGa now people! Whilst I still listen to vinyl (Deep Purple wouldn't sound right on anything else...) I'm listening to Pig radio (Italian station) via broadband as I type this. We do move on and frankly digital is now the way to do things.

However, in an interesting crossing of threads, I have just picked up an SFX body for the princely sum of a tenner from the bay and loaded an ASA400 film from an earlier purchase. Why? Because I have an F35-70 (subject of another thread), which is a superb lens but really useless for me with the 16-45 DA and 50-135* in my line-up. But I'm looking forward to trying it on film!! (BTW - I started with an Olympus OM10 many years ago - lovely camera.)

Local pick-up only: Cornwall!!

I echo Mike-P's comments. I sold the 18-200 in the end because I just didn't use it. The quality at the shorter length I found lacking. It wasn't THAT bad and it's quite a nice lens to use, but I found myself compromising on the focal range rather than the quality.

I've got a business trip to Swindon week after next, so I'd certainly be interested, thanks.

Tony

Thanks for the quick response. Need to have a think...

Hi. Will this work on digital with the *ist DS and give TTL, do you know?

Thanks

I think these are a lovely set. Personally, I think the beach suffers from under-exposure in the rocks and too much sky. Also, have you considered a high-contrast mono conversion for the train? This might bring out the writing on the side more. Thanks for sharing.

OK, thanks very much for checking.
