Nice job Rob. I looked ultra hard in all these pics, and they're all full of lovely flowers and stuff, but couldn't find a single nekkid lady.... I just nabbed a Nikkor 80-200mm/2.8 AF ED lens from eekbay for 260 quid. It's in great nick so am well pleased. Now it gets sent off to a bloke who takes off the mount, de-clicks the manual aperture ring and damps its motion, and attaches a Canon EF mount ! I had it done to a Nikkor 17-35/2.8 a few years ago and it's terrific on video. It will join the arsenal of that and a Canon EF 24-105/4 with the C300 camera I use a lot for broadcast. Impressive glass, to be sure. And crucially the manual aperture which is what i need. The 24-105 doesn't have it, the iris is controlled with a thumbwheel in 1/3rd stop increments which is rubbish. If I could find a decent wide lens in that range with manual aperture i would have it. The saving grace is the 24-105 has IS which is superb, so can't gripe too much. The 80-200 will only be used on the sticks. Nice shots mate - keep up the good work! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ UK Shoot / Edit and || (O) | Live Broadcast News ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
