I use Lightroom most of the time and drop into CS3 for some things. For example, I find the cropping easier in Lightroom and cloning easier in CS3. I guess 90%+ of my edits are in Lightroom and less than 10% in CS3. Using lightroom makes RAW conversion seamless and largely invisible and although some claim that other programs do a better job (e.g., silkypix) it seems fine to me.

The hood looked like an upturned tea-cup from what I remember. I'll be interested in what you think of it.

I have seen one of these for sale and I remember a number of people saying they were very good. Any idea how much they go for second-hand? Are they much better than the AF360 FGZ (apart from the obvious extra power and the swivel head)?
Many thanks, Kris.
Many thanks, Kris.
If you cannot find a better viewpoint/lens combination and if fill in flash doesn't help try bracketing and using a HDR program to blend the images (I use photomatix pro). Although HDR can look unreal if not surreal, it can be used subtly to solve this sort of problem. My guess is that ND grads won't help too much in a wood as there isn't really a horizon as such.
Best wishes, Kris.

I already have M42, K, M and A series 50mm/55mm lenses in a mixture of f/2, f/1.8, f/1.7, f/1.4 and f/1.2 varieties. I didn't really need another one.
I'm waiting for something in the 100mm macro bracket in the freebie giveaway...

Don't forget quick shift focus as a plus point.

Hoping to get back into Edinburgh this weekend, might try to capture some of the 'Xmas shoppers'.
