I see a canal boat in your future. Or something similar. Time is very definitely NOT of the essence on the canals.

Funnily enough I grew up 50yds from a canal and that lifestyle has always appealed to me, over the years I met some very colourful characters in our local pub who much prefered life on a barge to a more urban existence. Their take on life which was basically "sod the rat race I'll do it my way". I've always admired non-conformity and a individualistic approach to life, providing it doesn't come at the expense of people around them.

Could I just say, Noddy, that I am very fond of poetry in most of its forms, from Shakespeare to Lear, and the little ditty you quote in your signature line is one of my favourites.

I know I'm getting old because I actually considered, if only for a second, buying a pair of slippers while shopping recently. Fortunately, I caught myself and resisted. They were even BROWN! - Yes. A man knows when he's getting old when it seems like a good idea to own a pair of slippers.
Confirmation will come when I start wearing pyjamas again, for the first time since childhood.
The temptation for an afternoon 'Power nap' is growing, too!

Bugger I've met all three criteria for getting old, it sought of just crept up on me, a note for the slippers though, make sure they haven't got backs in they're easier to get on.

We have a manual Tamron SP300 f5.6 that I picked up with adapter a few years ago at LCE for less than £100 - I think less than £50. (KIV not the much pricer / bigger better 2.8.)

Apart from some PF in extreme circumstances (black suits against white water in bright sunlight when photographing surfers) we think it does a good job and certinly good value for money if you can find one.

I'd come across this one recently while surfing the tinternet for a few ideas and by all accounts it has received very positive reviews, but they don't seem to crop up very often, defintely one to consider though, thanks for the input.

A up lads/lasses

I'm off to the MotoGP in June at Silverstone, I've got Granstand tickets so I'm after a 300mm prime mainly for grid and pit shots. Any suggestions with a limited budget? I'm quite fond of manual so I'm not adverse to the older primes and no I'm not in the market for a DA *300mm.
I've seen the Tair 300mm for about £90 and realistically this is around my budget.

Cheers

Love the shot, looks meaner than in real life

Well Iceland dumps on us again, booked a week's holiday expecting some nice dry clear weather and what do we get? a grey soup overhead, mother nature once again conspires against me. Please I just want a little bit of sun for my poor old K200D, she hasn't seen any since last year.

Strange, but I do prefer the way the istD renders the colours, they appear to be the most natural and warm. You would assume the the more modern the sensor the better the colour handling, but to me this appears the reverse.
