Plus an aluminium CNC machined version of his famous focus adjustment chart.

Does anyone still eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday (tonight)?
I don't. I can't be bothered to make them and bought ones aren't good. We could go to a pancake house but having eaten out on Saturday I don't want to go out again.

Sounds like a fine way to spend your birthday. I hope you have a very happy day.

It sounds to have been a better stand the they had at Photokina in any case - there they had just two K-5s and one (or maybe two) 645Ds to play with. They had more K-rs than K-5s. And no freebies whatsoever .

I agree. The train needs space to move into and in the second crop it doesn't have that.Personally, I think the train is too tight now. If its moving it would benefit from space to move into. Maybe 2/3 of the space you originally provided
Takes me back to childhood holidays near Dungeness, and riding the RH&D!

The first lapwing egg of the year has been found in the Netherlands so spring must be springing.
The woods were filled with bird song this morning and the sound of woodpeckers hammering out their message.

Only zooms.
I have an old 50mm A but I never use it.
And I have my Tamron 90mm macro, which very rarely gets used.
Having said that I am considering a wide prime - a 14mm or 15mm when I can afford one. A pity Sigma don't do a non fisheye in that range.

What a lot of birthdays this month. I hope you have a good one HG!
My husband and youngest grandson share a birthday on Friday.
Husband will be in France again though .
No idea what to get them either. Probably a bottle of whisky to be going on with for my husband, but what to get the two year old who has everything?

I am putting together my album of my Norway trip and I'd quite like to include a photograph of the spoon I received when we left the Arctic.
It is very shiny, and engraved in the bowl and on the handle.
So how best to get a photo of it without all sorts of annoying reflections in the bowl?
I only have an AF360 FGZ flash, and no studio equipment such as soft boxes or baffles.
