Well done. I can imagine it's not that easy to handle that setup.

Thanks everyone. The first picture was my most exciting. It was a huge caterpillar!

Clarky, The last one is a globular Springtail about 2mm in length. Cute little things as Dan says

Thanks Chris!

It was considerably less that £3k when the dollar was at its weakest, but it's climbing back up again.

Regarding the bigma - I had that too, but was disappointed with the long end for consistent sharpness and AF with it's relatively slow aperture at 500mm (bearing in mind the UK weather).

One of my favourites with the 500mm:

Indeed. Things were ticking along nicely without any issues. Ah well. Big Brother - I call it arrogance.

Not mine. I got the email after answering - you don't get a new email for the post you just made - well, you shouldn't. I got the email just before I posted my second reply.

There are so many things that are still broken or missing, I've given up with it TBH.

I just got an email saying there was a new reply to this thread - but there isn't one :

I too have cancelled my magazine subscription in response to the changes made and the attitude of certain PU individuals.
