Super landscape set of an awesome place and you have done it proud for sure; you have captured the ever changing light and shade and the ever changing weather so well; a very competent and skillful gallery.

Best regards

Congratulations John it is very special, I can't think of anything to say that could do it justice - an example of how our art can be.

Best Regards to you and your wonderful subject

LIKED NUMBER 2 UNTIL I GOT TO THE LAST ONE - WOW !

Weight is an interesting subject, totally of no interest to me as I take the same care when carrying my Leica compact on my hip as my heavy duty birding gear.

All of it needs to be treated with care, all of it is a "PIta"; even the little
Leica is like a boil on my hip so who cares; everything you carry is a pain.

Might as well carry the best then !

I Have in my car; a macro kit in one bag, a birding kit in another (150 -450 with a K3 II S ) and a K3 with an 18-135 in a neoprene stretch case for "walkies"

On very infrequent occassions I take the large format and acompanying paraphenslia, I forget the difference when hiking around brcause it is always a necessary part of the game and the total weight of the bag or the zoomster is all that matters.



So it is a fact that all are obtrusive and inconvenient, weight and shape-wise.

Two camera bodies might be 200 gms different when you ad a 3kilo lense what is the issue with the body weight; it is a consideration that id spurious at best.

My large format presents no more of a weight challenge than the rest , so buy the best for your needs and forget weight; that is my motto.

All been said Gareth but very nice set, preferred the coloured but the B & W could be a match with maybe a "softer focus" and lower contrast; The expressions make them and they are lovely images from a proud dad which makes them even nicer.

All I can say is stunning Phil

Heard today from a very credible source it will arrive in Europe "on or close to" the 25th April before distribution to other countries in Eu, so I won't be expecting it until early May.

it is what it is

You can be well chuffed George, nice set

Regards

Planned to take my K1 skiing in Feb, then planned to take it to Mexico in March, now planning to take to Majorca in April;

Oh well I'll be skiing again soon so hope it turns up before the next snow,

But not jumping ship having bitten my nails for the last couple of years: tried out the opposition which would struggle to overshadow the K3 2 so frankly jumping ship is now not in my thinking.

Keep the faith brothers, the second coming is upon us or is it the third.
