I never bother covering the eye piece TBH... With long exposures I metre, take the shot and if it needs adjustment I change the shutter to compensate and take the shot again...

I'm on an embargo from the future missus so I'm going to try and put some cash away for FA's 31&77 post-August... Hope prices don't rise too much between now and Sept...

Any camera gear I buy between now and the wedding will likely be used as the weapon that kills me...

Northern women are hard and mean and brutal...

It's one of the places we visit every few months, take shots and then realise what we did wrong and plan for the next visit...

Last visit, I had fun with NDs but didn't quite get it right...

Unfortunately I've been banned from buying any lenses until after the August 3rd wedding... I have already argued the harshness of this ruling to no avail...

I really want the F70-210 but shall have to pass under certainty of death...

The orange one reminds me of being a drunk 15 year old on WKD!!

I need to (find and) check my diary but provisionally, absolutely yes.

I actually recommended a collegue to look at the Q today (during the countdown of the Jessops-Web-Debacle) as she's looking for a 'handbagable' camera that offers better IQ and control than the average compact...

Also... I've had 2 beers tonight!! TWO!!!

Well however they plan on running it, not a good start IMO.

Peter Jones told the beeb the website would go live at midday... A timer went up... The timer ran to zero... Now't happened...

Plenty in the news about the re-opening of the shops - which is great - but there appears to be a media blackout on the fail of the website...

I got all excited about the prospect of a 'highstreet-web-store' that I might actually shop in... This morning was really exciting... My colleague and I even did a count-down and when now't happened she laughed her head off!!

My WR copy bought new from SRS to go with the K5 is much better than the DA-L version I had with the K-x... Still not a patch on the FA35 at 35mm but gets regular (more regular than I thought it would in fact!) use...

I starting to find myself leaving the FA28 & FA50 at home and carrying the DA18-55WR, FA35 & D-Xenon 100mm macro as my main kit...

OneStop apparently have good prices on them too according to another thread in 'Leads to Deals'
