So, I went home this weekend to watch my high school band perform in a contest. I spent the whole time taking pictures, throughout the warm-up and the performance.Tell me what you think?http://s86.photobucket.com/albums/k114/canyonkafer/EXIF data available.

That's from a pentax *ist? Holy fringing, batman :( What lens? EXIF data says "f/0", so I'm guessing it's an older MF lens with no camera-controlled aperture?
>>29373I was using a 2x teleconverter on a lot of them. That's why they turned out so fringed. Most of it was shot with an f/2.8 Takumar 135mm. Not the best lens anyway, but it's the only fairly long lens I had on hand.
