Those are awesome of the Gecko's. What was your technique? I 've never seen anything quite like it.

Thanks, I used a light box and bounced my flash off the top. I found it the only way to wash out the lines in the lightbox. In the future I would like to set up a more natural setup for pics.

I'm taking a serious look at this lens to replace my tammy 17-50, but what I've seen is that this suffers from some pretty aggressive lens creep. So with that in mind, I thought I would ask here, so see if actual owners find this to be true, and if it's as big an issue as some would make it.

Had mine since '09 and yes, it creeps. Much more noticeably when on my blackrapids strap, as that leaves it lens down. I use in combination with cotton carrier holster which also is lens down. My 17-55 eventually has the whole barrel extended.

I just got one of these last week. So far the test photos that I have made are delightful to me, even if the subject matter is mundane. I will tolerate lens creep in exchange for the results that I am seeing. I use a Black Rapid strap and yes it does creep. Will post some photos soon even though there are hundreds in this thread that attest to the useabilty of this lens.

My gosh, what on earth have they done to Flickr? I cannot get it to do anything....

This may have to do until I can figure out Flickr or get another site to hold the file.

Edited to add: This is Grand-Daughter busting a move at local Veterans Memorial site.

You, like myself have fallen victim to the beta beast. It took me awhile to figure it out, and I still can't post to wordpress from flickr anymore. They've once again made an upgrade unusable.

Jay125 I totally cannot find a thing to click on to get the posting code. They have really out-done themselves this time.

Here is sort of a link sorta:

You need to click on the pushpin then select the size you want. That will give you the code to post.

I'll delete this once you have it figured out.

Thanks for the help. I wish they would simply label it better. But, now that I know, I can manage it I guess, LOL, only been using computers since the 1970's...

No problem. Once you have it figured out, they will change it again anyways. Glad to help.
