Lovely end of summer day here so I took my 13 year old "money-pit" out for a spin. Arriving home the light was wonderfully golden and I thought a few pictures would be in order. I hope you like them. Click for larger images

I see a rather sinister pattern. Could Sony be responsible for actively encouraging the dissemination of this antagonistic attitude in the same way we have seen political manipulation of the internet?
Rob, you make a very interesting point and although I am not certain it would be official policy of any camera manufacturer to spread doubt and disinformation about a competitors product, i would not rule out an agency on their behalf doing so.

Social media and avenues such as talk radio have changed completely the way information is gathered and disseminated. It is obvious that State actors are at work feeding fake news to the masses, one just has to listen to LBC when they do a phone-in on Russia. There is a constant stream of (paid ?) apologists lining up to put forward ridiculous arguments. The recent Cambridge Analytica scandal shows how important social media can be. Match that with the willingness of one car company (they cannot be the only one) to cheat on emission figures and we are not too far from what once would have been unthinkable.

i see the OP mostly posts to sell second hand lenses. not really what this forum is mainly about. I also find the text and tone of his post to be very similar to the drivel we have seen on other forums. I should like to ask him who sends him his script ? it is not original thought.

London Camera as a group will no longer sell Pentax cameras. Double discount on Pentax cameras, 11-18mm lens delayed, nothing new mentioned. Is it the end for Pentax/Ricoh?
I think you are mistaking this site for DPR. That is where silly posts like your belong.

I like the first one, the heat haze adds to the drama.

Nice capture. Fascinating creature, not least because it is an egg-laying mammal.
