My silver just arrived! (From CA to US)

How great is the strap with the Silver edition... it has a nice feel on my neck... might use it in the meantime instead of my BlackRapid strap!

I did notice though how on the strap it says "Made in Japan" but the box says "Made in China"... which one is telling the truth ?

Did anyone notice the silver edition came with 2 batteries? That was a very nice surprise.

...and (in Australia at least) an 8GB FluCard Pro. I haven't set it up yet.

Both where montioned somewhere, flucard and second battery to be included. Makes the offering very nice, with the grip and dogstrap.

New toy!

It's a Premium...............not Limited???????????????????

Did we knew that?

Great. The silver edition is available in 29th this month here in Japan, though. Why does it take so long.....?

My Sigma 70-200 is an excellent low-light concert lens, but the IQ of the DA*50-135 is so much better I rarely use it now. I would certainly recommend the Sigma over the DA*60-250 if you want reach at close quarters, especially in low light. I haven't used the Tamron, but it is screw drive so will be noisier, and probably slower focussing than the Sigma. Considerably cheaper though.

Yes, I have the FA31/1.8. It is an absolutely glorious lens. Sharp wide open, sumptuous colours, and beautiful bokeh. The focal length is close to the ideal normal lens for APS-C cameras.

I am agonising over the FA31/1.8 - I might just have to bite the bullet. Thanks for the info re the Sigma 70-200 and although I take your point re the IQ of the 50-135, I do want the reach and it would complement the 24-70/2.8. More cogitation required

I haven't experienced LBA for years but I think I am having a relapse. By the way, great photo!!
Cheers

Those sequence shots show promise, mate.

Were you using the 43?
