spirit level I use in my tripod all the time for video. No way I can get that corrected in PP.

The rest? I'll replace my blower with swabs. Towel I never have. Grey card / White card I now have in my Fastpack 200, along with 2 flashes and a lot of other stuff. I think it's going to be too small with the 80-400, so I'll replace both that and the 650. I also have a 23hq account rather than flickr

The other stuff? Never really felt the need, TBH. I'm normally out and about around the car, and if not then I have a sledge this time of year so I take whatever and dump it in that.

well, my D-bg4 arrives in the country tomorrow, along with a pair of d-li90s. "Get a grip", as they say...well, I did

Bret

... which is why I have 3 batteries for the k10 and again for the new k5. Keep one in a warm pocket and 2 in the cam, change as necessary.

Bret

K5s were promised for the start of this week. They are now expected start of next week. Ergo: Pentax can't keep up with demand.....

I was going to say Rhyader way, myself

Lovely roads.

Matt: where are you exactly?

I spent a *lot* of time with my parents when I was young on a caravan park between Aberaeron, New Quay and Lampeter... Aberystwyth was on my list of Universities but I ended up in Yorkshire.

Check the solar storm pages on the 'net, they explain approximately what's going on. Get two pairs of gloves: one thin one for using the camera when it's cold and another for when it's *really* cold. Windproof is also more important than insulation...

Bret

No Aldi here, just Lidl. With local variation....

but why can't they always have pretzels? Strange company.

Bret

SR works great on ships... take a tripod / monopod with you

Bret

busy. speaker boxes are square and reasonably flat, may even have an amp rack soon

28mm has turned up, just waiting for the body.
