Well, my E300 kit did indeed arrive on Friday, but somone at digital depot
managed to snd the wrong lens (14-45), so that bit stayed in its plastic bag
waiting to be sent back. Had a phone call this morning to say they'd send
me the 14-54 today and I should us the packing to return the 14-45. I
expect this will be resolved without further fuss.
In the meantime I have the body, an MA-1 and som old lenses to play
with..... So, not wishing to inflict th apalling untidiness of my flat on
you, I got this little fellow down of the shelf, set him up next to a bit of
old brick, shone a light on him and shot him with little Tammy (SP 90/2.5
macro).
F/2.5, ISO100

F/22, ISO100 - you can just about tell this isn't as sharp as the above, due
to diffraction. Has coped well with the long exposure time (13 sec), too.

F/5.6, ISO100

F/5.6, ISO1600

You can hardly see the noise in the ISO1600 shot scaled down, but th
difference is more obvious here, where I've cropped out a section with no
resizing:

I think I'm going to like this camera. I can actually focus it manually,
which I never managed with th E10, or the Minolta A1, and I'm quite happy so
far with the results from my old lenses - faffing about with stop-down
metering isn't so bad, though I wish the jog dial would *stay* functioning
as a shutter speed dial instead of reverting back to trying to be an
aperture setting after a few seconds.
