I’ve loved flicking through all of these on Flickr.
Looks like you’ve had an excellent time.

I've just noticed this now on my mobile. Previously I'd have to log back in once a fortnight or so, but now I'm having to log in for every visit.

Chrome for Android

My PC version was fine last time I checked.

Same (almost), Chrome for PC and Safari for iPhone seem to be affected for me.

Gone, unsurprisingly.

[quote:3496ace15f="HarisF1"]This longer FL might allow the use of a wide attachment right?

There is a wide angle attachment available for the original camera, takes it to 21mm equivalent I think. Haven't bothered with it myself as it adds bulk to a pocketable camera.

I can use 35mm and 50mm crop modes if needed.

This is why it seems bizarre that they're offering a 40mm equivalent. I feel like most users would prefer to start wide-ish at 28mm equivalent while cropping to get a 'digitally zoomed' image.

I would certainly prefer a 40mm as 28mm is too wide for a general-use walk-around. 40mm is a far better focal length if you're only going to have one. Just as images can be cropped for a more telephoto field of view, several images can be stitched for a wider one, and resolution is gained rather than lost.[/quote]I also prefer 40mm. I was telling Haris earlier today that my Voigtlander 40/2 is stuck on my camera more than it’s not these days.

Nope, I'm coming up with nothing here. If you think there are benefits to trying a smaller form-factor camera system, then go for it!

Crikey, to say I'm tempted is a severe understatement...
If it handles anything like my Auto-Takumar 55/2.2, it'll be a doozy.

Excellent prices, J. You’re making it difficult for me to stay on the straight and narrow

I can confirm that it would save a lot of money, offloading one of the cars.
I’ve noticed the petrol savings already...
Pre-Cov I was around 260-290 miles a week.
During Cov was around 180-200 miles a week

I do want a new bike now though, so that’ll make a nice dent in whatever I’m looking at spending

Welcome back. Cycling by choice or because someone has told you that they need the car more than you do?

Steve

By choice!
We’ve a car each, currently, but it’s looking more and more likely that I won’t need mine in the long term.

Thanks for the warm re-welcome!
