Hi there, here I am still relishing the experience of Samsung's NX30 camera, and................

Over the coming weeks, I shall not be using the 18-55m.m kit lens exclusively, although I will use it at times. No, I have decided to use some excellent PRIME lenses that I happen to own, namely the Pentax 50m.m DFA f1.4, and the Schneider-KREUZNACH   D-XENON f2.8 100m.m MACRO lens. In the case of the latter, you should know that this was a Samsung lens, manufactured by Pentax under licence from Schneider themselves. Both of these lenses have excellent resolution properties, and should test the Samsung sensor out. I have not, as yet decided where to go to conduct the tests, but as much as possible, we will be out and about with the NX30 and probably the NX 300 as back up with two leagacy lenses in the bag. Of course one has to keep in mind, that at this time of year,  in the UK, and more especially, here in Wales, the weather can play havoc with any ourdoor activity that is planned, but I assure you that I will do my best to get some tests done. In around six weeks we are going to Mid Wales, Aberystwyth, in fact so I hope to get a lot of images from that area. This is going to be an enjoyabel trip, as we haven't been there for a number of years now, but we used to go at least once a year.

I have been reliably informed the Chancellor of OUR Exchequer, ( my long suffering, "other half"), that we shall probably be going somewhere over next week end, as it is a Bank Holiday here in the U.K. So that should make for some sort of photography for the lenses that I've detailed above. But, in the meantime I've put another image below for you to look at. This time it is NOT a Jackdaw, but a lrger member of the same Genus a Crow. But my intent was the same, look at the detail in the birds feathers, and its eye. This was taken with the 18-55m.m kit lens, so hopefully, as imressivae as this image is, remember, it is ONLY a kit lens ;- ), things should only get better from here. I mean of course in using the higher quality prime lenses. Anyway here is the Crow.

This a great example of the quality that you get with the Samsung kit lens. This is why I keep saying that the Samsung 18-55m.m lens must be THE best kit lens available today, from ANY manufacturer.
Take a look athe the 100% crop below. Look at the birds eye detail,

Also, apart from just the eye, look at the feather detail. This is a SOOC jpg file. I have done nothing whatsoever to this image.
                                         Well that's all for now. Take care everyone.
                                           Regards to all, Twm.
