For a couple of days in my recent trip to Japan I was forced by the weather to use almost nothing but my 18-55 WR, including a trip around the Sento Imperial Palace gardens in Kyoto.

My technique with the kit lens is to use TAv mode at f/8 and let the ISO get the right exposure, that way I don't have to worry about the softness wide open at the long end.

A very nice set altogether Jonathan, beautiful colours and thanks for that tip on the 18-55 WR, its the only WR I have and I know its not the best lens around but in bad weather I have to use it, I find the sensor in my new K70 allows you to go much higher up the ISO scale without ill affects than is possible with my K200D.

I think I gave my 18-55mm WR its toughest water resistance test so far with this one.

But I swear I hear the phone ringing - or is it just that we are getting close to Halloween?
