Hello from rainy London (currently in the East, within touching distance of the now half dismantled Olympic Park but my user name reveals my origins in the West for those in the know......)
I've been lurking and researching on here for nearly a year now so I thought it was probably time to be a little less parasitical and actually register so I can contribute to the community. That said I'll probably be taking more than I can give at present - I'm pretty much a newbie in DSLR terms. I bought myself a K-r in January and have being trying hard to come up to speed with terms, concepts and techniques ever since. I'm getting there, but slowly, be please be patient with me ;) I've already spent far too much on lenses and other kit. I have the standard starter set up of the 18-55 kit lens and a Tamron 70-300mm, together with my pride and joy, an old manual focus 50mm f1.7 prime (sometimes it even manages to make my photos look half decent!) and other assorted junk bought cheaply ( or sadly in one case not so cheaply) from Ebay. Now I'm hankering after the DA 35mm f2.4. This is bringing out an acquistive streak I didn't know I possessed...........
