My top 3 scoring photos were all taken with p&s. This was taken with Olympus C2100-UZ (1.9mp) a long time ago.

This one shot soon after getting my DSLR with the 18-55 kit lens. I finally got a better score, and would love to get this off my front page. I don't think it's very good and scored well because people thought I went through lots of work on setup.


Actually, this other is my highest scoring with the 18-55, giving me 5th place for a day, but DQ'd due to a stupid editing error.

03/07/2009 03:24:50 AM · #22
Kind of obvious what this one was taken with :)

03/07/2009 03:36:12 AM · #23
My top score. Panasonic's Leica zoom lens. Waiting for my other cheap lens (Pentax kit) to bump it.



03/07/2009 03:47:25 AM · #24
My best score from olympus 1.9mp compact.

03/07/2009 04:43:48 AM · #25
I really need to shoot more with my Nikon kit lens. This is embarrassing. Oddly enough, I can't get scores like that anymore even for much better photos. I'm lucky to break 5.3 anymore even though I think I'm improving, heh.

Score: 5.7317 - Lens: Nikon 18-135mm f/3.5- 5.6G


Score: 6.0640 - Sony DSC-F707
