I know what point you are making, but isn't 60 mm a bit long for landscapes?

The third is also fascinating for the apparent chaos of the overhead electrics!

I used a Sigma 10-20mm lens set at 10mm on the K70 for the close views and a D FA*70-200mm zoom on the K3 for the longer view of the train approaching the station under the wires. That castle in the background is Newcastle Keep which in my schooldays hundreds of boys used as a grandstand for trainspotting.

The Azuma in #1 is rather like the swan's head in PRYorkshire's avatar.

I am sure David can recall the "chaos" of the tracks that used to be found at this location in his schooldays, however I offer a more recent view of a much simplified layout featuring a steam favourite.

According to the Daily Express newspapers (and I suppose by extension magazines and books) are sterile due to the printing ink and paper processing, so cannot transmit viruses. But they would say that wouldn’t they?

I like the idea of a book swop box I seem to recall something of a national movement for this, there is one in the local railway station for instance.
I would feel tainted if I had touched The Daily Express.

#1 for me as the curved roof girders have always appealed. A nice wide panorama depicting the whole station scene.

It will soon be a view lost to history as the class 91 electric locomotives are shortly to follow the East Coast HSTs to that great siding in the sky.

I quite often photograph my dogs, and it'd be nice to have that little bit extra confidence that it's nailing autofocus where I don't really get that luxury in the K-70 or K-S2 I own...
It depends how easily pleased you are.
Is the property you refer to, a basic or a luxury?
