Very 'streety', love them...

All I know that in No.3 they are quite a long walk from San Marco, when there are signs for the Railway station and Ca Rezzonico you've got to cross the Grand Canal to get back to the Piazza....

I just love Venice.

Nice Images

Last time I was there was in November, we forget about it now thanks to Covid-19 but the week I was there (not my fault honestly) coincided with Acqua Alta!! Barely was it starting to recover then Carnevale is cut short in February!!

I go there often, no shortage of new scenes to see.

Have you tried using the 'Seek' app on your smartphone?

Guess that you have identified the 'Gasteruption jaculator' (unless you made that up! ) I guess you've used quite a few resources already,

Nice images

I suppose if the angle of view widen as the lens breathes it is less of a problem if you are critically framing something rather than having to recompose and focus constantly if your composition is significantly cropped.

Probably explains why this phenomenon hasn't really bothered me much. As a former owner of DA*60-250 and current owner of Nikkor 70-200VR2 and D-FA*70-200.

Nikkor 70-200/2.8 VR2 also focus-breathes - never bothered me.

Not had the opportunity to use my D-FA* determinedly yet thanks to lockdown, but I won't let these 'experts' ruin my enjoyment of the lens.

I begin to worry about the new APS-C camera, if I remember correctly the K-3II and the KP were originally around the £1300 mark when new so if they start thinking 2K then Pentaxfolk are going to get a big shock.
The *istD originally came out at £1200-1300 IIRC, with an FA-J 18-35mm lens. The only competitors on launch IIRC were the Canon EOS 10D and Nikon D100; then the EOS300D and D70 came out and broke through the £1000 barrier; those were the days a 1GB card would set you back over £100!!

I bought my *istD for £600 at Mifsuds in early 2005.

As for the 85mm, I will keep with my FA*85 and 77Ltd.

No wonder the good people of Newcastle have very little time for Mike Ashley. Sports Direct, who own House of Fraser, is now called the Fraser Group; HoF went into Admin about 2 years ago.
