This a quote from Wikipedia :-

"Due to the scientific definition of a fruit, the tomato remains a fruit when not dealing with US tariffs. Nor is it the only culinary vegetable that is a botanical fruit: eggplants, cucumbers, and squashes of all kinds (such as zucchini and pumpkins) share the same ambiguity."

More confusion

I assumed that fruit does not qualify and that vegetable plants without any vegetables on them (as yet) would not qualify

Hope they fix Tiscali soon, as well

Very nice images - I just wonder whether a focal length of 13mm or maybe 15mm might have been better

Well that might be a splendid idea since I've no work either
I've my kindergarten diploma for tying up shoe laceses, do you think that's enough?
Oh and like every Dutchmen should have, I also have my swim diplomas
Probably over qualified to be a Finance Minister

I think the main criteria is an ability to 'stick your head in the sand'

Could I ask what a pentaprism is, and if a camera is better with or without one? Cheers
Definitely better with one

It is a five-sided reflecting prism and tends to take up quite a bit of space.

Just a quick plug for Richard (loskeran).

Just like to point out that I & others have dealt with Richard & it was a thoroughly pleasant experience. Totally trustworthy & a nice guy to chat with to boot. Just incase anyone was wary of buying from some "geezer off the net" !

It's not often you see these come up on the used market & for good reason. I love mine !
I agree with both your comments about Richard (loskeran) and about the DA 10-17

p.s. RR is a jolly nice chap to deal with, as well

I think that Ralf set up a 'sleeper cell' in Southampton some years ago
