I've got the 50 1.8d, really nice lens for not much money and as you say, lovely portrait lens. @Chuckoir the Tokina 11-20 is still quite new so we need you to buy one and test it for us :). For a walkabout prime I'd like a Sigma 24mm Art but it's a bit beyond my budget at the moment!

Wander round a shop and have a hold of them all. You originally mentioned the Canon 70D - which has the flippy out screen. That would be a good choice if you want the DSLR experience (which isn't better than mirrorless, just different, more old school sort of). I was in a similar position to you...

@Chuckoir sorry not been on. Give me a day or two to think about it and I'll pm you. Consider yourself as having first refusal if I do. Cheers. As for the 105 or 140, I have the 105 as mine's a UK model (with the free grip ;)). Don't know why UK models can't come with the 140 like everywhere...

Same here, tried the grip on, felt OK but couldn't think of a situation where I'll ever need it so it's sitting in a cupboard. I'd sell it but everyone's got one already!

Looks a lovely lens Bill. One of them mushrooms looks a bit like a bird to me!

That's odd, just checked mine and it doesn't do that

That's gotta be the most amazing deal ever!

Thanks but sorry, I hadn't realised they went for much!

Be interesting to see what you think of it, if I ever have any spare cash it'd be hard to pick between the 18-35 or the 24 1.4 Art, I reckon I'd like that one as well. I might be interested in your 18-200 if you've still got it!

I'd rather have ISO displayed than remaining buffer - it would be nice to be able to set your preference in the menu. If Nikon were like Fuji they'd read this and address it in a firmware upgrade. I kind of know when the buffer is full ;)

Yes Bill, if you can live without exposure comp on a dial, switching easy ISO on should then show the ISO value in the VF.

Nice one, your shutter count will be shooting up now!

Ah, right, just googled it.

Why? Never heard of it anyway.

I've never used anything, been using a mac for three years now. Off to get Sophos now though after reading this. I'd heard - perhaps wrongly - that macs used to be to safe due to their rarity. Can't be true now surely?
