£5.00 David not £50 a real bargain.

If I'm walking around a city or town, 12-24 or 16-50.
Walking in the woods, 60-250, 300, 150-500, 180 macro, or 100 macro.
When I go out not knowing where I'll be walking, I take them all, and more.

There's no 'one size fits all' lens for me, but the 18-250mm would cover most of my needs except for tight city landscape shots, if I had one.

You also need a porter to carry the bags with the lenses

nice to see from your tests that the DA 70mm works on full frame.

Please continute your tests it might save the film addicts some money

I find tripods are ok on their own. They suddenly get very heavy when you add on a decent head.

I would suggest that you try and buy them together and then you know what weight you have

Half term this week so went with the grandkids to the zoo.
Not a single usable photo. Not one. I don't expect a high hit rate on trips like that but not a single one .
My hit rate has been dropping like a stone, so even when I can be bothered to pick up the camera I have little to show for it.
Almost enough to make me pack it all in...

Sorry for that diversion in to photography.
Now back to pointlessness please.

so what kit have you got Gwen? I would like first call on it if you are packing it in

Seriously though it is the time of year when good shots can be hard to get and the greyness seems to affect our mood and ability to get things done.

Cheer up the daffodils will be out soon.

If I was returning to east anglia for a visit I'd time it for the cheap caravan holidays in the Sun. We've had a few at various camps around the country, Seton Sands being a favourite.

Our usual price in the van on a campsite is £10-15 per night including electric and quite often showers. That means we can afford a b&b every now and again

Planning for a trip to Norfolk for next week. I need to find sites for the van that have a pub next door i also need to find a b&b nearby 'just in case' the weather turns bad and we find the van cold at night or the wind too strong.....

Big sky country and birds by the million - I hope I can get some good light for decent shots
