Looks prefect, will register and look into it further. Thanks for your help, hopefully a few more will be posted and I can compare them.

I have just shot my first wedding and am hoping to finish processing all the images by tonight. I have a full month before I will see the newly-weds again to go through the album designs with them.

I have a problem though. I know a few places to get prints done but not many which will use Fujifilm paper when printing albums. They will only use Inkjet which I'm not too happy about. I know the album will live most of its life closed but even then I want this to be high quality and long lasting.

Anyone know of a good place to get the printing done? Preferably somewhere with an on-line service as I have my day job to get on with and not much time to travel.

I am going to produce a smallish album with one to two prints per page showing the main wedding and formal photos, and have a CD with the photos from the reception to go with it.

The 'silver' K200D is slightly brown in colour and it does not look good. The Silver *istD was actually silver. The K200D is just dull like it needs a polish.

Congratulations, what lens did you use, the bigma?

We have two Metz 58AF-1s as well, one of the best purchases for our cameras, along with the DA* lenses.

You can still get the FA35F2 which is quite sharp wide open.

Don't think it will beat the 50F1.7 lenses though for sharpness wide open as they are quite amazing.

Oops, my bad... That is quite a premium then, better hope it is exceptional!

I want this lens. I was so annoyed by the relatively poor performance of my DA*50-135 at a concert. It focused fine in the low light most of the time but the biggest issue was the shutter speed at about 1/30 which meant a lot of motion blur and with strobes going off sometimes it wasn't too good.

I did find anything over 70mm was a little long a lot of the time for the small venue and wished I'd taken a 2nd lens.

£400 doesn't seem to bad considering it is a fast prime with weather sealing. I think that could easily make up the £150 difference when compared to the FA50. Just hope the image quality lives up to the FA50 or even the FA*85.

I was in Ilfracombe a few weeks ago and it was pouring with rain. I had my K10D with 50-135 out all the time and even used the built in flash in the rain. No problems at all other than a soggy strap which rubs a lot more on the neck. I still dried it off on the outside when we got back to the hotel and also the flash 'stowage dip' which had a small pool of water in it.

Both camera and lens still function perfectly.

I love having a fully weather sealed set. Just wish you could get a fully sealed external flash as well.

I have been very happy with my 16-50. Now that I have a replacement with a working SDM all is good. Weather sealing is a bonus but, I played with the 17-70 at SRS and it was nice.
