Home safe now. The bike has been out of action for a week so it was the train and a taxi. I love living out in the middle of nowhere but sometimes it is a pain. The taxi wouldn't go down the last bit of lane. Oh well, only a half mile walk

Just one of the many photos I took this morning.
Hope everyone gets home OK today.
Cheers, Kris.

I'd love one too. Don't come up on ebay very often and always get a good price.
Cheers, Kris.

That is very similar to what I have found. I have taken to using the flash with the camera on manual, setting the shutter speed to 100 and adjusting the aperture as needed.

Not used it myself but I wonder if some specialist noise reduction software like "noise ninja" (I hate that name) might help. Also, as you have used RAW there are variations in the conversion which might help, e.g. Silkypix v. ACR. Before spending too much time on it though, check that it is a problem when you print. Sometimes "pixel peeping" makes us paranoid about problems which don't really exist.
BTW, stunningly nice picture. I'm dead jealous.
Best wishes, Kris.

It has a few annoying aspects but for 40 quid I shan't complain. I'd rather have a 300mm star prime but any of those is going to cost me quite a bit more.

Just in case anyone is interested, there were five versions of the Vivitar series one zoom. The first couple had a good rep, the last couple were dire, hence the interest in the serial numbers. I only know this as I got a "free" one with my ES and looked it up on the web. I got an original one.

I do not have any examples in my database, sorry. They really do not come up very often. I do have one example of the 1.4X-L version which went for £78.87. The AF 1.7x converter actually comes up a little more often but still sells for an average of £173.85.
I am not sure this helps, but there it is for what it is worth.
Cheers, Kris.
