Perhaps we're not bgetting out and about as much since the pandemic struck?

A timely reminder to have a look at our archives and dish up a few that escaped us the first time around?

If you had this lens from new I'd be inclined to have it repaired for £100. A replacement would cost you a lot more than that.

It looks like a great way to spend time - interesting subjects, interesting weather and interersting scenery as a backdrop. You've done a great job capturing it so well.

I always wanted a Pentax 67. The original 6x7 may not be such a good idea as the shutter has quite a bit of vibration and repairs may be difficult, but the later 67 might be an option. As mentioned above, sometimes uninformed users ruin these mechanical cameras by not understanding what they are doing, so checking them thoroughly is a good idea.

How about trying the Real Camera Company in Manchester? They have a huge stock of older and newer used kit and understand what they are selling. A good friend of mine buys and sells to them all the time and has had some great deals.

You are right. How could any camera know where you want to focus? Only you know that.

Very nice Gareth, and very usable.

It beats me why we make life so difficult. Rather than constantly changing the clocks why not agree to start an hour later if it's dark, or an hour earlier in summer? In fact, if we staggered the start time we could potentially halve the morning and evening congestion at a stroke.

I would have been delighted to have shot such a pleasing image - great photography!
