Leica CL body £2,250, albeit EVF rather than optical VF. Leica seems able to survive in a pricey little niche, why not Pentax? How many K3III bodies need to be sold to make it viable for Pentax? As many (or as few) as Leica CL sales?

Anyway, if the K3III does happen to be on its way to the UK, let's hope it isn't grounded in the Suez canal!

Fine bird, nicely posed, good photo. Nice to see a kestrel that's perched rather than hovering.

Seems to be some noise in the blue sky, should be easy to remove. And personally, I prefer not having copyright info in the picture itself as it's a visual distraction - and wouldn't be difficult to clone out against that sky! Hopefully that counts as 'helpful criticism'.

So you announce you'll be coming off the list on the day it's announced that elephants are going on the list... Nature in balance!

Never heard of B&M until now. Just had a look and none within 20 miles. Got a feeling the nearest used to be PCWorld before it merged with Currys. I think I'll continue using the local paint shop. Need to find something to paint first, though. Windows are plastic, doors are plastic, gutters are plastic. Several rooms indoors need doing but tons of stuff would need to be moved first...

I've noticed a few times that B&Q stock levels aren't necessarily accurate. It works both ways, sometimes they don't have what they say they do, sometimes they do have what they say they don't. Come to think of it, I've encountered the same with another well known DIY chain.

As for paint, I've given up using DIY stores. The local paint shop that supplies the painting and decorating trade is very good. Not the cheapest but very helpful, well stocked, they know what they have in stock and will get it if they don't.

Back to the original post...

Niklas, that's a very good photo. Well seen and well taken. And with so few aircraft flying at the moment, it must be quite a rarity!

Excellent, a good use of lockdown!!

The last one reminds me of the Spitting Image version of Mrs Thatcher...

It's near the end of the video. Different cameras for different creative purposes. Why limit your photographic experience by only having one Pentax camera? Get both a K3III and a K1. No mention of things like 'bank balance' or 'other domestic priorities' in the video, though...

It is 3 years old...

Hair? Isn't it something to do with the Age of Aquarius?
