I bought a bag of Peanuts for the birdfeeder the other
day and it had a warning label......... "Contains Nuts"

Excellent sharp shots at 3200ISO/4000ISO as well.

I've never seen Herons fighting, there are often more than one
on a lake and I've seen them chase one another in flight. I've
seen a swan chasing a Heron, but the Heron just flew off.

I'm nor sure about the sex..... their heads are different,
one is just light grey the other white and dark grey, that
obviously means something?

Modern Photography Magazine certainly tested cameras when
they "tested cameras"

Sadly nothing like that nowdays

It was the Hoya HMC (0) link I was looking at quite a common filter, but the balcony shot isn't a very good example.

The Leica M8 has problems with IR and needs an additional filter link
So if M8 users don't mind filters on their lenses I certainly don't

Anyone with Sultan of Brunei gold and reptile skin Leicas should get themselves several of these

Possibly some posts were deleted from that thread and then
the thread closed.

The balconies are clearer on the Lenstip photos with a UV used.

The Tiffen Haze1 is widely reported to improve landscapes.
Tiffen Haze2 is even stronger. A B+W 486 is probably better
but I can't find any under £50 So Tiffen it is

Pictures are a great selling/buying incentive

Nice shots some of the very early Takumar lenses
were better than the non-SMC 1960/70's stuff.

I've got a 1959 Pentax Auto-Takumar 55mm f/2 which I paid
about £30 for and it gives the A Series 50mm f/1.7 a good
run for it's money
