I've been shooting with a K24/2.8 for a full year, last year. I like the 35mm EFV, so I would like a Limited pancake DA24/4. I switched back to the DA21 this year because I was tired of guesstimating exposures -good exercise nonetheless. Other than that, the usual: bring back the *200/4 macro and

Thanks Jack, Dave, Rick, Ann, Paul, and Marnie! Ken: Fair point about the top petal-bit of sloppy cropping there. Interesting about the bright spot--Darrel (my husband) I had a conversation about it, and Darrel thought it was interesting and added to the composition, so I went with it.

Wow! That's an intriguing photo, Rick. I find the rock in shadow lower right of frame a bit distracting, but still--very cool concept and execution overall. Cheers, Christine On Aug 28, 2011, at 8:02 PM, Rick Womer wrote: We took a trip to Toronto, via Rochester and Niagara Falls, in May.

Very nice, but bothers me the foot is chopped off at the bottom. While Christine's petal didn't bother me, this does. Had a teacher once who insisted animals should not have appendages chopped off (if shot full body), because it would bother our eyes in a completion kind of way. (He said it

Thanks, Marnie! I was kind of disappointed to see that, too. There wasn't much I could do to avoid it, as she was coming right at me and it was all I could do to keep her in focus. But, I just couldn't pitch it. I was too pleased with the fact that she was still in the focal plane by the
