The only 'fault' with a K3iii is that you can't go low to the ground - no articulated screen - which is why I have not acquired one.

Wonderful place, well photographed. I really like the steps through the arch.

Most excellent!

Chicken head? I saw a trio of Meercats stretching up on their back legs - as they do.
Keep it up Spad. I have no comprehension of how you do it but the results shine!

Super set .... super camera.

We grow them for fun in the garden. The bigger and taller the better. These are chosen for consistent growth and optimal yield, which is clearly shown here. An excellent set with a very different perspective.

One useful 'gadget' that I use is a 'TePe' interdental brush that has been shorn of its brush and the remains drilled out, to be replaced by a 1mm dia bit of wire, secured with some Araldite. As the original is so good at being used to get between one's teeth so this can be used to prod and poke in any variety of holes. It's identical to the paperclip version but uses the lovely tactile and gripable handle of a TePe.

Ordering from outside the UK ? It's 20% VAT on the cost price AND on the postage! You wanted Brexit - you've got it.

I have a tall series of shelves alongside my desk. My lenses (lots of them) simply sit there with circulating air and they have been happy for many years. Every so often the whole collection gets vacuumed with the 'duster' accessory and individual lenses get the Rocket treatment before being put onto a camera. ALL lenses have fungal spores, no matter what you do with them and a fancy cabinet won't alter that one jot. Clean, dry air will prevent those spores from growing - so simply, provide it!

Nice portraits. You don't realize how tiny the 'coal tank' is until contrasted with something more modern. Those connecting and coupling rods on Kermit are a bit odd, so is the slide bar.
