Cats: If nothing else helps...

I love that perspective, I would have like to see just a little more of his/her face though. Very nice shot.

Actually I posted a couple of times just near your responses there. Obviously one is allowed to have whatever opinion one wants. I read a lot of different things and I make my own mind, the reviews here are not a Holy Book to me and I have friends that their opinions are much more important to me than the reviwers here, and even though they don't e-post/blog they have a few decades of professional experience in videos and photos.

When I return to Athens next week I 'll post a photo with a beautiful stray dog that I took with a NX300/Zenith 58/2!

Nice and shiny here in northern Peloponese, people swimming, and I am considering it!

Thanks, Hoogoose, glad to see you like the lens. Lovely cat also. I agree with you on the 60, it's a very good macro lens, but I also prefer 100 mm for macro. Nikon has a lovely 105 VR (vibration reduction) 2.8 Micro lens I have, which I prefer also over Nikon's own 60 Micro.

Thanks, Melidonia, I'm nearly surprised to hear that the 50-150S works well on the NX500. Depending on what happens to Samsung, I may get one, too, for my NX500. IQ looks great.

Thanks, Kisaha, I just read your own response in the comment section, wow (must have missed the other one). On the one hand I have to say that they put a lot of effort ito this site, for which we are all grateful, and I generally appreciate what Richard has to say. On the other side the Sony-Samsung comparison and Rishi's replies to me show a very strong bias with a very narrow focus that really ticked me off. And that whole pseudo-objective percentage award game is a joke, but I'm sure amazon profits from it. Happy camera makers now put DPR's percentages and awards on the outside of their camera boxes. Anyway, thanks for your support on the matter!

Our views were the same in that matter subject. I don't make my opinion just for one or two websites, but it is kind of annoying all this Sony favouratism. I shot professionally with a Sony A7ii and I couln't wait to return to my NXxxxs!

Interesting, Kisaha! Good to hear that from a pro like you. And thanks again for chiming in there.

I think we need a lot more cat pics because what I found out today in person about Samsung is not good. I don't want to talk about it in this thread because it is a very lovely thread indeed.

Keep the images coming, and I'm sure we also like sweet doggies here, like the one with the frisbee!

Have to play a board game with my son now.

Greetings to all,
Andrea

another image of Kalli i used the "Comic filter in PSE14 to get the effect.. thought it came out good..

That's a very nice graphic, Hoogoose. Sweet kitty as always.

I've been mulling this over as it's not official, of course, so I'm not sure if I want to contribute any further to this nauseating rumour mill.

I'll think about it. If I post, then I may "bury" it in a different thread.

My son and I just finished our board game (called Labyrinth) and I lost. ;-(
