I remember seeing a lens test for the M 75-150mm f/4 in LPMM and it showed the lens to be sharper at the 150mm end than the 75mm. Normally it's the other way round.

Hi Vic, he's been retired a few years now, but still does the books. Last one was the K-1 ii in April 2018.

I'm quite sure it's only done from the US (or is it Canada). There's an email on the site so send him an enquiry.

He did quite a bit of travelling around 5/6 years ago

The guy that does the Ebooks is also a member on this site. So no problems.

Fantastic colours and compositions. The twin lambs are my favourite especially the one on the right. Hopefully the weather will pick up in the next few days and you should see some blue skies.

The stone walls are called dry stone walling because no mortar is used. It's almost an art form and you should see better examples in the lake district.

Fantastic! The bluebells work in great with the greens. The last is my favourite. but it's almost a tie with the first. I like them all even the B&W which I I'm usually not keen on.

Not having a blank line between the posted photos isn't giving them the presentation they deserve. Hope you don't mind me posting with that corrected. I hope you didn't intend there to be no spacing.

I always buy the Swiss made Renata 357 (SR44W)
https://www.renata.com/industrial-products/silver-oxide-coin-cells/

Most jewellers sell Renata, but will be expensive in the shops.

I used to buy them from a jeweller on ebay in boxes of 10, but they don't have anything listed at present..... hope it's just holidays.

The Lithium cells came in as a cheap alternative to silver when it shot up in price in the late 70's. One cell was equivalent in size to two G13's stacked on top of one another.

There was also a 6v version for Canons that replaced 4 x G13

They should be cheap to buy, but the makers later decided to charge higher than the silvers.
