Hi ...yes, it was a fine day ;-)) I just finished looking through one of the SD cards - still have another to view and edit - and I'm a very happy DS owner tonite. G gave me some exposure advice which ran counter to what I'd been doing with the camera, and the results were great - much better than expected. Now I owe him two cups of fancy coffee, and he'll probably want a slice of cheesecake as well <LOL>
Got quite a few pix of children this morning while on the bus over to The City (twirling greasy moustache - nyahhaha), some of which may turn out to be OK - we'll see. The DA14 and the FA20~35 are nice lenses. The FA20~35 provides great balance and handling with the DS, and the FOV is ideal for a lot of the photography I do. It's on the short list. Took along a K135/2.5 as that's a lens I've not used on the DS before. Results with it are quite good ...
