Same around here Gwyn, only they're the 'not registered/insured' morons..

Yup, that makes another area being exploited by a 'lack' of policing. Have had some coming the wrong way down roads near me or on pavements, or off-road in the countryside nearby. Not ideal.

Spurred on by my reminder of mortality I did something I haven't done for ages - dusted off my running shoes and went for a morning jog (I have been relegated from running to jogging for the time being) in the spring sunshine. It is good way to spot potential photo subjects which I can return to later, although usually forget to, and just to enjoy the birdsong. Came back feeling very worthy if nackered.

Fantastic - well done! I haven't been on a proper run in a while (aside from a few quick 5k's on the treadmill)... I should really go for one before long. That being said, I've been enjoying my walks with the dogs more than I usually would given the general state of affairs, so agree with you on the enjoying birdsong aspect.

A Helios 44-2 that arrived yesterday. Took a punt on an untested one from eBay after asking a couple of questions and it’s absolutely serviceable. Couple of cleaning marks front outer, couple of oil species edge of front inner but sharp throughout.
£12+P&P.

Do you happen to still have the 135? I’ll have it post lockdown to suit your isolation.

Yep - still in the collection

Give me a reminder when things are a little more "relaxed"

I’ll do just that.

Benz3ne I don't know how much of the full frame it will cover. At the least you'd get sq. crop I'd have thought.
I have the lens and think it is very good indeed, I've used it exclusively this month.

I’ve heard it vignettes a fair amount wide open but stopped down it does decently on FF.
I’m sound for the 30/35/40mm side of things (for now).

Good news insofar as you know where you stand and how to approach it!
Hope the ‘supplements’ help going forwards and that you’re more comfortable in yourself.
Stay safe!

I spotted it too. Tempted as I am it’s probably better off with someone not solely using full frame...

5inch pot, compost, 1 seed. invert a 5inch pot over it and leave on kitchen windowsill. Have a look now and then. plant it out when the frosts have finished. Once it's a strapping plant, feed it with Guinness.

There we go! Now no one (not even me) has an excuse not to join in!

I'm envisaging a "one for you, one for me" scenario with the Guinness!

Fantastic series here, Jon! I think for the money it’d be hard to beat. Especially if one is au fait with manual lenses (as you clearly are)!
