Sure, come on in!

6 hours until the end of the first day of August, and I still haven't decided on a lens. It may be that I never really gave the 21mm the full SIC treatment , and though I enjoyed the 18-135 WR in July, I think a prime is just the thing to get me back on a creative track.

Yeah, seemed like a pretty good deal and I've bought from him before. I really shouldn't even be allowed to look in the marketplace...... XD

1.7x TC and at 200mm it still hunts on AF, so tomorrow I'm going to drop the lens down to 170mm, if that doesn't change anything, I'll remove the TC and shoot straight at 200mm or 300mm for my park bird shots I'm planning on getting this month.

I'm having the same problem with a 1.4x Tamron TC that I picked up recently. My Sigma 70-200 just hunts like crazy and will not focus.

I'm a day late, and I've dramatically fallen off the 365 wagon, but I've decided to come in and refresh myself with the M35/2.8 this month. It's 10PM here, now. I have a shot for 8/2, so I'll start tomorrow with posting and commenting. :-)

I've just come back home from holidays and will allow myself another day or two to adjust, but would like to join again.

Thought of using my Super Varexon 135/2.8, or is there any theme you've got going again?

No theme this month. I think that lens is a great choice - intrigued to see what comes of it. I have several 135mm vintage lenses, and am thinking about choosing one of them for September.

Got nothing for today. Busy with other things, then it rained again this afternoon until a bit ago when it got dark.

Well deserved too, congrats!

My lock picture on the same day got explored as well, although not very high.

Hope it is not too late for me to change lenses. This FA 100-300mm is just not focusing good at all. Every photo I took today is out of focus badly. So I'll either drop out for this month or switch to my Sigma 70-300mm and off load this other lens to someone on the bay.

Go for it, I say. No reason being stuck with a poorly-functioning lens when you're just four days in.
