Are there occasions when you have a technically terrible photo but you like it anyway?

I'm rather more fond of this one than I should be!

Anyway, I'm not buying any more lenses until 2011 .. it was my New Years resolution. (that and the fact my wife has emptied the bank account and done a runner).

As long as she left the lenses...

Now back on topic before the mods get onto us. (Is there a whistling innocently smiley?)

The sigma version has HSM if I'm not mistaken, I really missed the quick-shit with the DA and it was quite slow with AF so hopefully HSM does the trick for the Sigma.

You need to put the images on flickr in order to post them on the forum. Put the flickr url (available at the bottom of the "all sizes" page on flickr) between the image tags you get when clicking on the Image button below.

Mine was a lens on both occasions. Still pants. The first time was a fault with the SDM motor, the second time was my fault

Isn't the remote E for compacts? The second button is for zoom not focus I think.

This sort of FAQ / wiki has been suggested a few times but not come to anything. I would have thought a PUG wiki would be a good thing as certain topics come up painfully often, such as this one. It would also be nice to have information about which of the various "cheapo" manual lenses like the Helios are worth playing with!

I know nothing about the technical side of setting up a wiki but it would be a nice addition to the site.

Technically you are right Anvh but sometimes it can add something that just tweaking levels and curves does not. I have found photomatix a little hit and miss at times: images I think should work look horrible no matter what I do and others come out surprisingly well. It is worth a play once in a while!

Flippin' ages is my experience. I hope you have a back-up.
