The weather may be warm, but will it be dry?!!

The latest I saw was for 18 degrees and rain!

We'll be warm and wet then!

I'm told that Sunday will be the better day so that looks like the one to do.

I'm also told I'm going in costume, so there'll be at least 2 to photo as Honesty will probably dress up as well.

You could get the 'L' version for £199 at SRS LINK, I'm not sure what the difference is, I do know the optics are the same and I think the quick shift is missing, but it's a saving..

Only one Dave?

I have a black and two silver, one of which is dodgy...

... but nobody bid on the ebay one, it was unsold at a give away price.

Now that's a very good reason for a beer or two, it helps you exercise!!

Well, that didn't take too long..

...but the old head set was OK...

........just solid with set grease!

A quick wash in petrol and WD40, some fresh lithium grease and she's back in one piece.

Now I have to get her fueled up and then it'll be Beer o'clock...

certainly will, and seeing as the carbs are seized solid...

Nice sunny morning, head set looking at me on the desk, think it's breakfast then fitting time...

....I may be some time, to quote a certain captain...

The 18-250 on the K5 in Med lighting is best between f8 and f16, but as for IQ, the DA40 wins hands down.

As it should being a prime.

Both lenses go to France with me, the 18-250 being the catch all and the 40 used for market and town walkabouts.

That's how a rebuild of the RD400 started..

...26 years ago!!

It's still in bits on the bench....

Beema work will commence tomorrow AM.

Just a thought, the ME Super has a top shutter speed of 1/2000th...
