Not sure my list would fit on a table like that. Well it might do if it were A A0 size.

Besides it's not all about focal length, different lens have different characters. (Or is that just another of my "excuses" )
It's not just another excuse, but the other characteristics do tend to be more difficult to quantify.

I can't see there's much point in me attempting a graphical display. I have over 100 lenses usable on my Pentax K mount cameras, without including those usable only for macro.
There are several places where I'm well aware of overlaps such as swaps or the F100-300 & DA 55-300. I don't see charting it will encourage me to sell the lesser used models.

The macro flash is a Yongnuo brand.
I can't find my macro flash so am considering this as a replacement!
Can you advise which model Yongnuo do a range of styles.
Never mind I'll go for it anyway as long as it's not just a LED light.

I sold my K5...... ONly kept the K200 for sentimental reasons. I think I know the issue. WIndows 10 won`t save the file without appending .txt and I can`t find a way to stop it doing it.....
Can't you just rename it afterwards?

More likely an iridium flare, look it up
Given that both it & the other similar streaks we saw all originated from the constellation of Perseus, during the build up to the Perseid storms maxima this Sunday. I think my ID is far more likely. Not all of the streak was recorded during the shot, but it managed better than most of the others we saw which inevitably seamed to be while the camera was recording its dark frame.

Had a quick play with my Fisheye while on Holiday in France tonight.
While photographing the stars I saw several bright flashes, this shot confirmed they wre due to distant lightning, and also caught one of the shooting stars

I was surprised at how dark the red period was, and then amused at myself for not realising it would be that way in the first place.
My experience last time (when storms didn't eclipse the whole affair) suggest the blood moon was more than 4000 time darker than the full moon. I knew it was going to be significantly darker but was still surprised at how much darker it was.

3 weeks of clear skies .... tonight just cloud
Indeed the eclipse has been eclipsed. We actually had a thunderstorm all the way through totality, and still have rain now.
