I try to use either program, or AP. I guess I'll probably never shake the old 35mm habits. Ieven still try to set up shots' and take each frame carefully. Which is really essential with only about 1800 frames on one card, and not 36 on a film...

Nowt wrong with 35mm si
I use 35mm full frame lens on my D90.
They get excellent results if you can get used to odd focal lengths.
No fancy VR stuff here, never needed it in 35mm days  Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

I had the use of a one, whilst assisting a friend (who's semi-pro), taking another friend's wedding photo's. What a fabulas piece of kit! Although it does cost as much as my body did.....

I've been lookng at Tamron & Sigma lenses, for a similiar spec example, for a few less beer tokens. When, I don't know, but I have promised myself one sometime.

A bit like me Nick, I don't know the names of any object I take be it bird, flower or weed, nice focus on 'Robin'

I wonder if a category for members photos seperate from the FL2 category might be allowed for such things as this and comps

Here's a flower or weed I took on recent hol and a same shot selective focus.

Boss, like it

This is my friends 'Nick the Chick'. Due to poor lighting, was taken at 1/40sec which is why the legs are blurred.
Nevertheless, a wonderful plummage.

Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated

1280 photos taken and I deleted a fair few of those and got down to 800 for the photo album, and kept another 140 or so for photoshopping on a rainy day

Had a play with my Robin photos again, quite liked this one with it been face on looking down the lens
