It will be my people lens for Dances and other similar events nice lens heavy but worth it, Before this I had the consumer grade 55-200 its just nothing compared to this baby.

I have noticed some dirt/dust with this lens its so clear and bright that I can now see some dirt in the view finder but it does not appear on any photos and is still there with other lenses if you look hard so I'll have to sit down and work out where I need to clean.

I think that dust would be located on the mirror that reflects light up to the view finder.

Not necessarily on the mirror. I have some dust on my viewfinder as well, got inside the body during a lens change in the wind. Been meaning to take the rocket blower to it. That said, 40D's pentaprism design probably blocks dirt getting on the inside of the VF...but it can probably get on the prism. Dust can get everywhere :p

I'll have a look cheers (Y)

My wife went to church music/worship practise and I was doing the soundboard. After the sound board was setup my contribution to the music was gone so I broke out the camera :) The light in the church was very yellow because of the yellow stain glass and incandescent lights so I decided to play around in LR2 to see if I could come up with something more interesting.

I was bored, and I took a couple sample shots with my old (new to me) SMC Takumar f/1.4/50 on my Pentax dSLR. I like my m42 lenses, but using them with the smaller OVF, and without a splitscreen is hard. I like the one of my dog a lot though, it really captures her personality.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
