Silly question, perhaps, but are you sure it's for landscapes and isn't the ultimate macro bellows? The sort of bellows that you could explain as essential for checking the quality of the diamond ring she's going to get for Christmas?

My wife thinks that's normal behaviour for me...

Steve

Oooh, not good . I hope you all get over it without anything really nasty happening.

At least the kids are behaving normally. The time to really worry is when they are uncharacteristically quiet. Happened to my brother and sis-in-law recently. They were looking after young grandson while their daughter and husband were away for a few days. Grandson developed suspicious symptoms, very quiet, wouldn't even react to a chocolate sweet. Ended up staying overnight in hospital with his grandmother. Thankfully not Covid. Isolation would have seriously mucked up grandson and his parents returning home - to the USA.

Not portable enough? It's a folder.

And if she's still not persuaded, find out what she wants and negotiate. We once got a new 3 piece suite and hi-fi in quick succession. Guess which one I wanted...

Show it to the Americans - they might want to fit a K3iii + 150-450 in their U2s!

Steve

What's the zoom range of the lens on the GR III??

Steve

Two weeks without anything pointless happening? Or is everyone too busy disturbing the peace by riding noisy, shiny motor bikes around?

Steve

One of Mrs L's favourites, so not possible to adjust stems and flowers in any way that might cause damage (first to the plant, then to me...). A focus stack of 15 with Affinity Photo. K3 + DA 35mm macro.

Thoughts, comments etc. welcome as usual.

A success for the scientific approach!

Steve

Nice one! The background sets it off perfectly and the lighting is spot on.

A type of wasp?
