Again, thanks for the comments.
DJW, the texts on your landscapes make interesting reading - the orchard and the footpath ones really are wide aren't they. My favourites were the man in the distance, though. Again, on the 70 - 210mm again.
I think a 18 - 70 might be a good compromise for a while. The 70-210s like yours would be nice, but are silly money again on ebay - there was loads of people on the last one that went. Damn that Rockwell bloke.
Arkady, take your point entirely. Will be getting some books asap. Have tried manual and spot metering; centre weighted etc. I find it difficult to guess a midtone, though, and centre-weighted sometimes works ok and sometimes doesn't, so I'll have to keep practising.
Thanks very much
Andrew
