I know not of your programs but I work in a sector where I see these signs a lot and I have no doubt it’s a tax scam. No doubt at all:).

I don’t agree with the argument that some smaller shops use regarding card fees I.e a reason for only accepting cash. Having to queue up every day in your bank to deposit cash costs far more (in time alone). Internet signal aside I do see cash only signs as one thing and that’s tax evasion.

I agree and for me that’s where the real skill lies. It’s all very well capturing a beautiful scene that nature provided for you on a platter but those pics are ten a penny!

That’s an awesome shadow, I’d personally like to see more of it perhaps with a lighter background to make it standout.

Thanks that’s an interesting shout, I’ll take a look.

No problem thanks anyway

It is, I can only find them around the £400 mark?

Very poor in autofocus is very subjective, I suspect it beats hands down many lenses that yesteryear had ‘excellent’ autofocus. At least you’ve read a review though now so you can actually post an opinion :thumb:

As good as it is ;)… I’d still rather something around the 50mm mark I think so my search will go on…. Whistles Titanic tune.

I guess that is how false info spreads!! Sharpness is remarkable. Contrast is excellent, flare is minimal, bokeh is pleasant, chromatic aberration is all but invisible, and the small amount of vignetting is easily corrected in post. Even wide open, this lens is fairly crisp, improving at f/4 as...

Thanks and perhaps I’ll get over myself and take a look at the Tamron!! Out of interest, whilst I don’t particularly want another 35mm lens the Tamron 35 2.8 reviews exceptionally in the IQ department, given your the second person (along with @f/2.8) that has said the Tamron isn’t that good...

Yeah I’ve served my time with adapted lenses back with the original NEX! Please don’t send me back ;) I’d just rather not have the faff and given I need a lens that can just focus a bit closer rather than a true macro lens I think I’d prefer to go directly mounted and given a Tamron 35 2.8 1:2...

Because it’s not for macro. I just need a lens for 1/48 model photography where I just need to get in a bit closer than usual.

Thanks, it’s just a little North of what I’m prepared to pay. I suppose I’m kinda hoping for a little known lens that offers a close up option!

Evening all. I’m looking for a Sony lens that will offer close focusing on a budget (under 300). No adapted lenses please! I’ve tried close up rings and the Raynox and no good for my needs. I need 1:4 as a minimum and 1:2 as a maximum but 1:1 wouldn’t be a problem!! I would like autofocus and...
