Wel after much self debate over the FA 80-200 or the DA 50-200, i decided on the latter and it was delivered last night. Small thing. Very light. Hopefully i'll give it a work out today. The sun is actually peaking out. First time this week. So far the DA 16-45 and now the DA50-200. I hate this

Rob, Nice placement of the curve of the falls. Sun angle adds interest by lighting up every current and eddy. I like the coke color of back lit water which gives it sort of a 'candy' look. I, also, agree with those who often prefer your chosen shutter speed for flowing water. Jack --- Rob

If the AF Unt is cut down as reported (Single cross sensor, new layout with less frame coverage), it should not exceed the 20d in either respect. The 20d is a 5fps body with good AF, although the AF unit is not a match for a full-on Multi-CAM2000. -Adam Herb Chong wrote: i posted earlier

Another quick and dirty pano using 3 disparate files captured using my old Oly E-10 from a few years back. Again these images weren't shot with the intention of stitching, I didn't trim this one so that the original but contorted frames are visible.

Supposedly it's the second version. However from most accounts the only reason to get the Pentax over the Tamron is the SMC. OTOH, the later versions of the Tamron are more compact and are supposed to be somewhat sharper. Fred wrote: It has been suggested that the FA 28-200/3.8-5.6 is
