Real cute kids, Jorgen & Jason! :thumbup:
Steve, this second shot though being a classic is spot on. And super nice b&w PP as usual

Thanks Jason! You can find them on Flea-Bay. Kinda pricey though!
Thanks Corlan! Got the Noct about a year ago out of Hong Kong (ebay) Thought it was crazy at 2g's but it keeps going up in price averaging like you said around 3500. Its the ais in mint condition and rarely comes off the D3.Real cute kids, Jorgen & Jason! :thumbup:

Steve: Very nice. You're pursuing a theme. Daniel Mahoney was in the 8th Army Air Force (as was my father). It's great that someone still remembers.
D3, 58 Noct 1.2
Cheers.

You are right. Lots of perspective correction, and after that, "Warp" correction to get the lines of the stupa right. The colour of the sky is corrected as well (darker, more saturated, Chiang Mai is a city that suffers heavily from air pollution, and it is clearly visible in photos).
My Tamron seems to be less sharp on the left side than on the right btw., even at f/8

Corlan,Well, great job then! :thumbup:
(i was quite ready to order the Tamron on the spot otherwise)
I suppose we get what we pay for, and this is a question of improper QC. The Tamron is still great value for money, at least the version without optical stabilisation. Here in Thailand, it's around a fifth of the price of the Nikkor, and since it's much lighter and smaller, it's very suitable for travelling. I think the version with stabilisation has a different optical formula, but it's also much more expensive.
To get small size and a reasonable price, I'm tempted by the Pentax K-x with the Pentax/Tokina 16-50/2.8, a combo that costs more or less the same as the Nikkor alone, but I'm tempted by so many things
Another possibility would be the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 plus the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8. To me, the longer/wider perspectives would be more useful than the lacking 16-28mm.
Very lovely cemetery shots, particularly the first one :thumbup:

Khutzeymateen, British Columbia. The bear tried to bite the zodiac just after this shot. It jumped back when it's teeth bounced off. Cheers.
