Very strong image with that vibrant red against the grey steps. Contrats !

g'day Fritz - i have to agree with niamh here - u seem to be doing a great job with the A2! - i cannot think of anything an 'a2+' would have helped on this image - great up/down concept & the colour, clarity, definition all seems A+++ - composition, inc. crop are those things no camera can do 4 u - and u have nailed them here. thanx heaps. adrianox

Hi Niamh
you are right, my A2 perfoms quite well but I miss focus speed, short shutter lag, drive speed and low noise at high ISO. My plan: D7D with Sigma 18-125 = "A2 plus" (minus live histogram, video clips, small size.. :-((

Hi Fritz
I agree about the perspective and colours - the strong red is very appealing. However
I am not sure why Anja thinks you might want to buy a new camera - you seem to be doing fine with the one you have already!

Grossartig Fritz!
Perspektive und Farben genial. Spiegelung einmalig gut.
Das könntest du als Werbung für die Pilatusbahn verkaufen
und damit die neue Kamera finanzieren :-))
Gruss Anja :-)

Great colors and sharpness throughout DOF and interesting reflection. Definitely an up and downer!
