All I would say is that a Pro gets paid and an Amateur doesn't. The equipment they use is irrelevant!


Just find a camera that produces the quality you find acceptable, has ergonomics that are efficient to your use, and features that you will use.

......................................................................and the K10D should fit the bill perfectly!

I still have the fully working kodak 'Autographic IIA' in the old '230' giant rollfilm size which my grandfather used in India to secretly photograph a widow throwing herself onto her husbands funeral pyre although this was illegal undr British rule at the time. In 1917 the camera was sent back to England with a ring hidden inside for my grandmother. however the ship was torpedoed by a German submarine when it reached the English Channel and the camera and other packages were all lost. In 1925 my grandmother got a message that the cargo had been salvaged and her package was now on it's way to her,..which it soon was.
That's one heck of a story!

At the back of a drawer somewhere is a Fuji 35mm compact, an Olympus Zoom 35mm compact and a Purma 127 format camera that belonged to my father http://www.onetwoseven.org.uk/ - check the Purma link.

...and I'm 6' 2", beard and hair starting to get long. And glasses. Can pass for a hippy in poor light. Will be driving a Silver"P" reg Vauxhall Astra with rusty bits.

Watford will be expensive because we will all end up at SRS! Also, do they have an Association Football match on that day?

Liam,

The three pubs in the village are:- The Dukes Head, The Crown and the Farnham Pump (formerly the Jolly Butcher). We have our own Cricket Team, no pub team AFAIK. The only "Printers Devil" I know of (locally) is in Slough.

As for a central meeting point, how about St Albans?
