That's very cynical George.

The old Sigma lenses were superb for those misty out of focus shots of wistfull young ladies gazing into the distance.

Where as today's examples give resolution so sharp you can cut steak with them.

Funny that.

I've got my Zenit B, 3M, and a couple of 122s on the table next to me.

I've got to spool some film then use them...

...no seriously I do mean it..

.......who's that laughing at the back?

I wonder why they chose a Zenith camera, its not as if the programme is set in the early 70's. I can't imagine it's just so they can save a few bob

Probably there wasn't enough interest from the big names caonon, nikon, to pay for "product placement"
and you don't have to pay much to get a decent Zenit (notice the lack of 'h', that's how it should be spelt)

Nice catch Peter, it always amazes me how many people think film is a dead format.

Holiday camera bag for me is K200 with Tammy 18-250, DA40, spare battery set and charger. That fits in my Slingshot 100 with space to spare.

When I use my Fastpack 200 I can get the net book and a change of clothing in as well, great for short haul breaks.

Oh, and I just need to say BEER!

I use NI-MH in both my cameras, just make sure the body is set to use them.

If I recall corectly there's a bit in one of the menus that lets you select battery type.

Just noticed the article on right angle finders..

... now I know this sounds a little OTT but..

...I won on ebay a Zig View S2...

.....for a lot less than the opticle versions go for, and it works realy well considering the poor image quality on it's screen. It cost me a little over £12!!

Is the chip hut on the beach as a result of erosion or was it built there?

...and me with no camera!

Back to pointlessness please..

Just been checking when I can get my F1 fix, looks like the poisonous ecleston has sold out to murdoch.

Highlights only of the first few races on the Beeb, bu**er!

Details here

I refuse to get a satellite subscription to fund having adverts placed on my screen, that and the aussie ***** has far too much influence in the media world, not to mention money...
