^ if you're talking to me then it's no - I wasn't wanting to waste time so I used the 18-55 kit lens - I just kept my camera on the tripod in theback of my car all day so I could grab it and jump out. Gave me a little more flexibility for landscape stuff too - a lot of those were shot at around 25mm.
I discovered that I need a few more things though - one of those lens hood things to keep rain off my lens - a lot of the graveyard pics look terrible becausethere are drops on the lens - and a hotshoe spirit level - I have one on my tripod but I wasn't convinced it was right sometimes. I'm still not sureabout that Loch Laggan one - I've moved it about 5 times but it still looks off to me - I'll have to have a look on my bigger monitor and see - mylaptop isn't ideal for fine stuff like that.
I read an article a few months ago about a landscape photographer - takes amazing shots - and he had 5 levels on his camera. I thought he was nuts at the timebut I'm beginning to see his point now.
