I've just bought one and so far so good.

I carry the 60-250 and the Bigma in my Expedition 5 on occasion, along with the 17-70 and 50-135, and a flash. It is an extremely flexible bag with regard to lenses and stuff you can fit in it.

Enough photography talk .

Off for a Chinese meal tonight then to see the long lost cousin. We managed to delay that until this evening. Still not going to see the red kites, but that is because we are idle rather than can't.

Nothing really exciting.

Alan broke his lens when he fell at a waterfall in Yorkshire. Luckily the camera was unhurt .

So since we are in Bucks we went over to see if SRS had anything to replace it. Naturally I asked if Chris was around, which he was. It was lovely to meet him, and the rest of the SRS crew. I had a play with the 645D and tried the improved grip on the K-5 limited (which is excellent), and bought an 18-135 while no one was looking.

Oh and Alan got the lens he wanted too.

Slightly less expensive .
But I am a happy duck right now.

I'm just back from Watford .

I have the Tamrac Expedition 5 backpack, which fits the Bigma proper easily.

Bernard, it was the Victorian make over I assume. My mother used to talk about it and I have a very faint memory of visiting the cathedral with her and her looking it all up in the records, but I have no idea what his name was, and since Mum is long gone I don't know how I'd find out without some serious, and difficult ancestor digging. Given they were all called Roberts, Jones or Griffiths it would be tough to find the right ones!
But we enjoyed the cathedral very much, regardless of any family connections. Obviously I should have paid more attention at the time, but I was probably only about 8.

I'll have to wait until I'm home to follow the link but I shall certainly look then, thank you.

Thanks for the offer of a cuppa Tony - next time I come this way I may just take you up on it.

And I thought you were such a nice person. Shows how wrong one can be .

I'm just back from Chester cathedral. There was no problem taking photographs there thank goodness. I wanted to get photos of the Quire as my great(-great?) grandfather did the carvings. Just as well I could take pictures since there weren't any postcards of it.

I've never been to the BoB museum in Kent, even though it is not far from my sister-in-law. Doesn't look I will visit it after reading this.

I wouldn't mind paying a small fee to be able to take my camera in and photograph, provided of course it was strictly enforced so camera phones weren't allowed without payment too.

Visiting various Native American villages in Arizona and New Mexico we had to pay to take the camera in, but I was OK with that.
