We have a family wedding soon, so some of group came for a kilt fitting. The K5 and 8-16 were to have there first outing. I was under the impression that this was not a people lens, but thought it might be a bit different. In hind sight I should have taken the 28 and 55, for their lowlight /dof abilities. Most of these are cropped and some fiddling, especially as I could not initial achieve focus...schoolboy error of having body switch on manual focus!

Thanks for the info. It is a fairly large fast card.

Hi and thanks, yes I have, but I was unsure if saving to the card in both would cause a delay between shots.

The first one looks cuddly enough to stroke!

Cheers chap, it is one that will be a keeper, just a shame I wasn't quick enough to lose the background, but catching the look was more important.

The colours are really good from this lens, great capture.

I couldn't have been more wrong, it now lives on the camera, and not just for macro...

I was not sure about the bee shot, as I liked the colours, softness and its ability to make me sneeze! I think the stationary bees' wing was in focus, but the shot would have been better with a larger area in focus.

Very vivid , great colour and well isolated, it reminds me visually of water droplet captures.

I have been stalking in the flower beds again!

Does the image of the landing bee work, even though it is blurred?

I have sold through both classifieds and shops. Without exception I have ended up with more money and less hassle when sold through a shop.

If selling privately, buyers will expect you to sell for less than they have to pay at a shop, so only want it at a bargain price, unless it is in high demand.

I would give Ffordes a call, they were recommended to me, and I have bought and sold there several times. They value you item, pick it up and clean/inspect and advertise it. For this they take 20%, and probably achieve a higher price as people are happy to buy from them.
