The past weekend I have resumed my coverage of local bands' gigs where on Friday I saw Dominoes and Nosnow/noalps play live at Poxx Bar while on Saturday there were Cable 35 and BNI at Remedy.  It was the first time that I swapped lenses several times during a shoot and as usual tried to do some justice to the atmosphere at the shows by capturing some crowd shots too. Total number of shots taken = over 430.  I shall be uploading a few in the next few days and see how they fare with the viewers.

I've been really enjoying my new 50mm F1.8D lens and it turned out to be exactly as I had read in the reviews - a steal at a hundred euros.  It's incredibly sharp and gives you control over depth of field ranging from as little as 1 cm wide open (close subject). I've been shooting some photos of my favourite subject (my 1 year 3 mths old son) in very low and difficult light (indoor) and have been impressed. I've had good response to my first postings from this lens and can hardly wait to try it out in good light.

I have continued in covering a number of local band gigs and shall be posting a few of my latest shots here soon.  Of particular interest was a Battle of the Bands Semi final between a band named Stoned Joker and BNI.  BNI came out eventual winners but it was very close. If anyone out there has a close contact with Santa, please tell him that I've been good (ok I haven't but tell him so just the same :D) and I want a NIKON D3 for christmas.  If anyone wonders why just click here and be amazed http://www.stunningnikon.com/challenge/?BAC-prochallenge&ATTR=pho006

Thirdly, I agree on your religion views ;)

Hello there,
have you tested the new D300 as well? I was considering to get it but it seems that the D200 is better in terms of price/performance.

Would the 16-85mm f3.5-5.6 VR be a good starter? Cheers
No I have not tested the D300. The end of the line is always how much you are prepared/afford to spend. Reasons to get the D300 over the D200 are colour saturation (much more vivid on the D300 straight out of the cam), the enviable 51 af sensors (15 of which are cross type), much better viewfinder, much better (worlds better than anything on any other DSLR except D3) screen, Better highlights/shadows, faster fps, live view + focus. If you could live without these the D200 is the same camera with the same ISO performance. I know I'd get the D300 (and dream of a D3).

A 16 -85 mm is a good starter, even the cheaper 18-55 is good. If you can splash out the cost an 18-200 3.5 - 5.6 VR will cover most situations until you can start collecting lenses.
