I never have one, but I can point you at a feel-good Christmas tree story.
“He's had a buffet of all-you-can-eat mice, so he's ready to go," said Ms Kalish.

Our surgery did a great job in keeping jab days secret, I was told I missed it because I should keep checking their website although the NHS website I use to access their services showed nothing. Given you have a database could you not email everyone in the vulnerable category I asked, to be told they don’t use emails. Or texts apparently. I managed to get done a couple of weeks ago but wonder if there is any point, given that the precautions we take for Covid 19 should also be effective against the flu. Such an argument fell on deaf ears with Mrs RobL who said if it’s free we are having it!
The local health centre sent me a letter 'inviting' me to give them a bell and arrange an appointment for the jab.Our surgery did a great job in keeping jab days secret, I was told I missed it because I should keep checking their website although the NHS website I use to access their services showed nothing.

The letter was sent at the end of last month. The appointment is next Saturday...

STILL in development? Not even in production yet even though it was due for release now. There is clearly a feature they are struggling to make work, but you have to ask what is so revolutionary that is taking so long.

Yeah, I like the post-box. It could do with a quick trip to the Repair Shop though... Another beautifully tranquil set John - some classic compositions topped off with a that gorgeous rustic postbox

Some interesting images, but light has helped much, I'd convert the lot to Black & White and also boost the contrast for some really graphic shots.
No, IMHO. The subtle (and not so subtle) contrast between the stone and 'greenery' in 1 and 3 is what makes them.Some interesting images, but light has helped much, I'd convert the lot to Black & White and also boost the contrast for some really graphic shots.

Having a built in ND filer might not be much help.
Just ask your self what strength should it be? Everyone will have a different answer!
Well, most of the ND-ised pictures I've seen seem to use a 10, so probably that.Having a built in ND filer might not be much help.

Then again, they do apparently do variable ND filters these days, so... c

Original for me. Maybe up the contrast slightly?

I think DXO still doesn't analyse Fujifilm cameras that have their unique colour layout of pixels on the sensor, so bear in mind that all of their medium format cameras won't be represented on the list. I imagine that if they were, they'd be rated very highly too. I think most of them use the same sensors but with a different colour filter array placed over them, so I would expect performance to be essentially equal.
No, the GFX series all use sensors with Bayer filters, not the usual (apart from the T100) X-Trans layout.I think DXO still doesn't analyse Fujifilm cameras that have their unique colour layout of pixels on the sensor, so bear in mind that all of their medium format cameras won't be represented on the list.

They'd be alright if one could actually see what was on the screen! But in the meantime there's Pentax.
I really can't do differential focussing on a tiny EVF screen. sorry. And often not even see the view that the camera is seeing when the screen is drenched with sunlight. So sorry again.
Then you can't see what setting you have set. Sorry.
Do you want me to go on?
If EVFs had an optical eye level viewfinder and full proper controls like cameras used to have it would be a help. But we bought SLRs to overcome that, so why take a step backwards to what is effectively a simple point and shoot?
At least Pentax make proper cameras!

An EVF screen is not much smaller, if at all, than the screen in a DSLR viewfinder.
You can usually set what information is added to the viewfinder.
Having re-read your reply - do you actually know what an EVF is? Rather than the screen on the back of a camera?
