That's awesome the lens worked so well for your concert, DocMike. My question for you is how do you get your SLR into the concert venue? The only place I can get mine in are hole in the wall places that don't care what you bring in!

velasco Member 201 posts Joined Jun 2006 Location: Singapore More info | Hey all! I just did some test shots at the zoo. I dont know if my lens is a good copy or not, how do I check?
Should I be satisfied? why is the 55-250mm so bad under natural light(maybe Singapore's zoo being shaded doesn't help). like i was shooting at ISO 400 , widest aperture and the shutter speed cannot even go beyond 1/250 at zoo or it will be underexposed  60% of my photos are very soft.So now I'm shooting most stuffs using the manual focus in the hopes to get things a tad sharper.

Their rules are basically no video, no flash. (Which certain other people ignore.) I go to a lot of small venues which is the reason why I have my SLR in the first place.
