The 'Looking for England' one is repeated tonight on BBC-4 (and HD) at 23:00, in case anyone missed it.

And Thursday morning at 03:00, for the insomniacs among us.

Unfortunately Leica won't be there either as I am keen on the D-Lux 7 due next month.
Are Panasonic there? On account of as how the D-Lux 7 is, according to DPR, "nearly identical to Panasonic's Lumix DC-LX100 II"...

Oh well, at least it's not a gold plated K-1.

There is a lot of talk about the lack of 3rd party support for Pentax cameras , but can the
mirrorless guys state what third party support they have for there brand of camera .
The last I looked Sony full frame E mount had 1 Tamron lens in total.
So come on uji or m4/3 how kany 3rd party lens do you have?

I bet you guys have at least 10 in total.

Regards
According to the ePhotozine database there are 175 m4/3 lenses, of which 56 are Olympus/Panasonic/Leica.

For Sony FE, 80 including 26 from Sony.

That's the ones marked as not discontinued.

Hope that helps.

I started out with the original 18-55 on digital. When stopped down it took great photos.

I think folk can be inclined to disparage the "kit-lens" unfairly. Certainly saw that on other forums.

Bang for buck it scores very highly.
Of course they do...

They (kit lenses) are used even on the entry-level cameras, used by beginners and snap-shotters.
They are cheap - good lenses have to be out of reach of young uns.
They are zooms - 'real' photographers use primes.
They don't have wide apertures, so obviously can't be used in the dark.

What, no picture of The Howard?



I've seen most of those buildings so many times in ePhotozine reviews!

An SB-N7.

Well, it counts as an accessory, like I said in my previous post, doesn't it?

My latest actual photographic acquisition is a book.

Funny thing is, I spent an hour or so the other day trawling photography shop sites and nothing big appealed. Well not that I could afford. So I have come to the conclusion that my Christmas present to myself will be a handful of small accessories - lens-hoods etc. Ho hum...
