Are you sure about that? I knew the D's Bs when it was out and it was between 5.2 and 6.5% brewed by Wychwoods.

If you were panning correctly, there would be no acceleration, and no reaction from the SR. It cannot detect velocity (unless it has gyros).

My favourite when I was a student!
You could afford OP as a student?

We used to inhabit cider houses in Plymouth at 17p a pint. Few people got through their second - as much to do with the pH as the alcoholic content.

Looking at peoples' lists so far is quite interesting. I have not seen one list where I cannot enthusiastically agree with one selection and cringe at another selection.

Disappointing that no-one has listed a Greenaway yet so I'll offer Drowning by numbers.

Slightly laterally, potentially the best or worst film may be just released - Edge of Darkness. This remains one of the best things I have seen on TV and the thought of a remake...

Brakespear Triple is very nice as is Fullers Golden Pride.
Both are favourites of mine

I've recently sampled the odd bottle of Fullers Vintage Ale which is also very very nice
Snap!! Good stuff. You KNOW when you've been Prided (with apologies to Tango).

Theakston's Old Peculiar is very much still available and to my mind is one of the few beers as good from the bottle as it is from the barrel.

I believe the story behind Black Sheep is that one of the Theakston family who did not get on with the rest of them was referred to as the black sheep of the family. He promptly adopted this identity and set up a rival brewery.

I tried it for a while on the same platform as you have but went for Silkypix, because I thought it produced a better picture.

I didn't have any of the problems you describe.

Hi Tom. I have the 150-500 but I believe the Bigma is similar in this respect that they are not very sharp wide open at 500mm. I try to use mine at F9 or smaller, and get reasonable results even hand held.

Absolutely spot on.
