Thanks for this Larry & the 15-30mm is on my list to acquire. I've had very little opportunity to use my own as my wife had a serious accident the day the camera showed up on the doorstep. One quick observation, is the priority that jpegs seem to get. There seems to be a slow push towards jpeg over RAW. One of the magazines I bought this month asks the question of why you should still be shooting RAW, as the quality gap narrows between the two (apparently) and the amount of storage space for jpegs is less. I'm aware that some organisations insist on original jpegs being submitted, but with cameras now being more jpeg orientated, it seems that we are being pushed that way regardless. Keep the pictures and notes coming.
