That's what we had last night too!

Well lager, not ale since we can't get ale so easily, but bangers and mash with onion gravy was the menu.
Nothing like a good serving of comfort food .

Thanks Kat

But his camera isn't weather sealed so it is daft to buy weather sealed lenses now. If he decides to upgrade he can get the WR lenses as a kit and save some money.

I take two or three lenses with me, depending on where I'm going. I have taken more when I know we will have a car most of the time.

My 17-70 always goes and either the 60-250 or the Bigma goes too. Sometimes they both go. Car travel means I'll also take the macro, and maybe the 50-135. The 50 stays at home. I admit when travelling by car I'll take a couple of camera bags. I have been known to do that when flying too - the smaller one goes stuffed with socks in my suitcase, the other one, stuffed with gear, in the cabin with me.

If you can do a deal with Sorted78 then I think you have a winner. You can always sell it on later - it will pretty much keep it's price. Mike-P may be looking for one yet again by then .

OK I stand corrected, though I believe they lost their case in the Netherlands regarding websites and forums. The copyright here belongs to the photographer not to Atmomium.

No one in their right mind would hand over copyright of their photo to Atomium. They credit the photographer but as copyright holders can do what they like with it without paying the tog a cent.

Boycott them I say

Welcome from yet another (former) Zenit owner .

I've mislaid my glasses .
I have a pair of cheap reading glasses in practically every room in the house, but I also have a good expensive prescription pair (Pentax lenses of course), which are just so much better than the cheapos. More comfortable to wear, and they take my astigmatism into account too, so are more restful.
But now they are missing. No idea what I have done with them. I had them this afternoon when we were clearing out ancient CD-roms and the like, but now I can't find them.
I even went through the bin bags full of junk just in case they were in there.

Grrrr. They are fairly new too, so I hope they turn up - I can't afford to replace them really. Well I can, but I don't want to.

Me too .
They would certainly cause a relapse and another bad bout of LBA.

F2.8 ?

Just out of interest as I understand it the copyright on the Atomium in Brussels only applies within Belgium. They cannot apply it to photos published elsewhere, much as they would like to. They do not own a world wide copyright on it's images.

There was a recent debate about this on a Dutch forum, and the conclusion was because it is a Dutch forum, based in the Netherlands, but also with Belgian members, the copyright doesn't apply - even though the forum got a snotty e-mail from Atomium.

I'm not sure a stock site would accept an unlicensed photo of it though, simply to avoid being hassled by them.

Did you know that many window displays are copyrighted? You have to be a bit careful when photographing them too.
