Hmm how are you nailing action shots simon? I find that my week old DA* 55mm is really slow at AF. Do you use center point AF exclusively?

TOUGEFC · 01-08-2012, 04:07 AM

I use SEL (SELective AF) with the four way controller exclusively.

never mind, this wasn't a *DA shot

Number 1 and more especially 6, are stunners. I find the 55 very slow if moving from person to person, say at kids party, but if tracking one person it is fine. Dare I say that I tried a D700 the other day, all I can say is AF is FAST.

It's been quite a while since I posted here but I recently had some photos with the DA* 16-50 accepted in PPG.

I thought I might share these here as well:

Thanks! Really appreciated.

Nice ones guys,
Bart the last one is a stunner indeed! I like th first too though, and on the 2nd it's only the heavy handed vignetting that kind of messes it up for me...

Don From The Radio · 01-15-2012, 01:31 AM

DA* 16-50, ISO 200, 1/500, f/8.0

Thanks Peter!

Indeed some heavy vignetting. It all depends on the mood I'm in how dark I aim to make my pictures

mark lj · 01-15-2012, 03:21 PM

I like the vignetting - but I like dark pictures. The third one is a superb shot Bart.

60-250 exif shows as an A series 35mm as one of the contacts is bust. It meters but AF doesn't work and its causing various other problems as well.
