Well captured, they are very friendly birds. I never knew that they
ate slugs (thrushes eat snails). I wonder if it's having trouble
finding worms?

Our local blackbirds haven't been seen since the heavy rain last
week

I'm waiting for someone to put up a listing with the header:
"Pentax FIT 50mm lense" BIN £40

and for it to be a Carl Zeiss Planar

That sounds like the one

Anyone with SatNav don't put your HOME on it.... if a thief nicks your
car he knows you can't get home and might just go there whilst your
reporting the theft

AP has an interesting comparrison this week between a Canon L series Prime and Tamron and Sigma zooms.

I am very happy with my Siggy 150-500, at the current prices it`s an absolute bargain.

The Canon 500mm costs £5,500

Amazing how a man traced his stolen laptop with some free software.
So what is the free software? and why isn't it installed into new laptops?

It was mentioned in the program, but I didn't take much notice because they were saying it took a picture of the thief and emailed it and my laptop hasn't got a built in camera. If you listen on the BBC iPlayer it will tell you the name.

300mm is not long glass in this day and age.
That lens should work with the 1.4x (one went for £90 on ebay recently) the 1.7x which gives AF or the 2x, might be one for sale on here or I've got a spare.

I can't remember how an 'M' lens handles on a TC though, the A* is slightly better because you can control the aperture from the camera and I seem to remember it quoting the correct aperture last time I used one.

Kingfisher is right to hold onto it just as I am holding onto
my A*300mm even though I've got a DA*300mm. The A* is
approximately 11% longer in focal length than the DA*
at about 6m and can be used with TC's and extension tubes.

I can't understand why, considering the low price, more
people aren't using the Z-1, Z-1p The Hyper manual facility
is amazing and the two dials make it similar to the digitals.
