Rose, I'm going to tempt you again ...
Rose, I'm going to tempt you again ...
I got the 8-25 yesterday, and it seems to be every bit as good as the 12-100 ... Smaller and lighter, but still highly expensive 72mm filter.
Will keep you posted.
Lovely shot, BTW.
The 8-18 gets a pretty good wrap, Rose. I really wanted the extra on the long end for my uses. I almost never use my FTs 7-14 or 11-22 for that reason. I took a few shots today just to get a feel for it. I reckon it should suit me.Hmm - John ..... I don't think I will be tempted this time, as I have the PL 8 1-18 (f/2.8?), which I don't use a lot. When I do use it, I am impressed. so think it's a keeper

Of course, went to upload the files to my main workstation, which has promptly shat itself . Will have to do recovery tomorrow. Bugger.
I suspect that my vastly upgraded computer might be coming rather sooner than I had planned!
Rose, it seems that there was serious corruption on my main data drive. It went offline yesterday. Fortunately, I know how to run CHKDSK from the command processor on an offline disk. It's successfully running as we speak.Oh dear about the work station, but also how exciting to get a new state of the art machine.
Not so exciting to set it up, but I guess with your knowledge you have back up media ....

Due to other pressing commitments, I haven't been as religious as I should have been. However, I still have all files for the last year or so on cards. I never wipe them until they are successfully backed up to my off-line HDDs.
Belts and braces man ...
The recovery is still happening, nearly 48 hours later. Big disks take a long time, plus I was stupid enough in my haste to run CHKDSK j: /R from within an admin command prompt under the Windows GUI! The process is at least five times faster if run straight from the command line before the GUI starts.Rose, it seems that there was serious corruption on my main data drive.
