Quite a selection of characters there, love the first one.
Thanks Rick
It was a very busy flea market, far too many people for my liking but great photo opportunities

Nice set.
I am surprised you were not expecting rain - it is Wales !

Beautiful set.
Don't know what you did with no. 6 but it jumps out of the page (in a good way)

Thank you Steve, John and Stephen for the good advice ( and encouragement).
I will persevere as I am very happy with the output from my M series 50mm f1.7 so am expecting results at least equally as good.
Need to get the Zen breathing sorted ☺

I was fortunate enough to win 3rd prize in the recent raffle on PentaxForums
I have used my winnings to purchase an SMC Pentax-M 100mm f2.8
It is a thing of beauty.
However, after taking about 50 shots using 3 different cameras with it i am just not getting along with it. The focus point is so slim or I am just too unsteady to get anything decent.
Will persevere but not very hopeful

A 3.5" NAZ class hard drive or drives in a NAZ or DAZ configuration, or separate caddy or multiple caddy's is the way to go.
Anybody else's brains scrambled?
OOOOPS!!! My bad...
NAZ should NAS (Network attached storage)
DAS should be DAS (Direct attached storage)
and I'm sure everyone knows what a hard drive caddy is lol...

Thank you for pointing that out to me before anyone else gets confused.

PS Driving back from Norfolk to deepest Lancashire scrambled my brain and body alike. Road works, accidents and general road chaos. What should be a pleasant journey in reality is hours of frustration. Heading for Berwick on Tweed next Friday for a week, hopefully that will be e better journey.
I was waiting for you to mention BAZ and DAZ so that the 4 AZmigos would be as confused as I was.
Glad to hear Lancashire is still there. It i years since I have been home.
Anyway, we digress.
The subject is monitors......
