Mine has been used in a couple of rainstorms in the Pacific North West - you only get one chance at a photo then you will take it even in the pouring rain. I was soaked to the skin, but the camera was fine. And that without weather sealed lenses.

It has also been out to sea, Orca watching, in the rain and survived. But then again so did my Ds. When I went whale watching in New England it rained all day but the Ds survived it no problem at all. Both times with the Bigma on the camera, so again not weather sealed.

Yes I saw the tutorials. Decided to download the trial licence to play with it my self. Struggling with it a t the moment.
There is rugby on TV all Saturday afternoon and evening which will have been retreating back to my attic, so I shall devote some of the time to Bibble.
you have been warned .

I sold Jill my one. It is somewhere between the Netherlands and Newcastle right now.

Henrys has the 50mm as an HSM, not the 30mm.

Here is a review on Luminous Landscape: link


Makes for easier reading than Stefan's Google translation.

I've downloaded it on a trial licence. This is going to take a lot of quick learning on my part I think.
I shall have a play later and see how I get on with it.
Better than spring cleaning though .

Yes I saw that - DAM is one of things which is attracting me to it tbh.

Thanks for the offer of help, I shall probably be needing it

Thanks Martin. I have looked at all the info on the site and am very very tempted. I think I may bite the bullet this time .

Any users of Bibble 5 here?

I once downloaded a trial of Bibble 4 which I really liked, but never got around to buying. Bibble 5 looks even better but was wondering what users think?

It works fine on hybrid Gareth, but no, you can't zoom right in with just the map. You can't zoom in to that extent on my house either with terrain. I'm not sure that you need to though.
If you need that zoom then you must use hybrid, satellite or map, not terrain.
