We had our Covid "lateral flow" tests this morning and got our results an hour later - "negative" (so far!)
K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)

I was amazed to see a treecreeper scrambling around the cherry tree trunk today. Can I take it forward to the 31st?

If you can catch it I can't see why not.

Today has been a good day. Digging around in the back of a cupboard I discovered 4 lenses that have lurked in there for at least 20 years, don't get too excited. 3x 50mm 1.7s and a 135/.3.5 I think someone has hidden them. And they all work. Something to alleviate the boredom. Whoopie

... and I thought finding my paper driving licence in a bag of old photos (that I lost 10 years ago) was impressive

I once found a large jar of pickling vinegar at the back of a shelf which had been there so long that the lid had corroded away . Hopefully that hasn't happened to your lenses.Digging around in the back of a cupboard I discovered 4 lenses that have lurked in there for at least 20 years

A friend of mine found an unopened box of 1950s washing powder in the back of a cupboard which he then sold for a reasonable chunk of cash. I think it was bought by someone who does props for films / TV shows.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Do you think they would be interested in an old jar of pesto sauce from the back of the fridge?

A good find. The 135/3.5 has been an old favourite of mine from the 80's, it was my go to lens for panning when photographing motorcycle racing. Today has been a good day.

Hope to see some results from it.

Those lenses are going nowhere near my cameras until they have been thoroughly checked for fungal problems etc. They should be OK as central heating pipes run through the cupboard, to the naked eye they look OK.

M50m 1:1.7 lenses were gold dust 10 years ago..
...now they're only worth a fraction of the cost back then.
Just saying.
Listening to local radio and it seems west, West Yokshire is having a bad day with the rivers rising fast.
