No. 3 wins for me. I was hoping for a foggy morning today, but alas not.

Lovely shot. Perfect demonstration of the ND filters uses, which cannot be replicated in pp.

Quite a bit of distortion in the first. I had a go at correcting it, let me know if you want to see.
Thanks Peter, please feel free to post your reworked. It was taken on the 17-28mm FE and I didn't really put too much time into correcting it yesterday.

Best regards
Ah, that explains it. I thought it was a bit excessive for a standard 18mm !

Does electronic equipment still have a legal minimum two year guarantee after Brexit? I know that's the case in Europe but now that the UK is out, are you down to just one year?
Interesting question. Up until 2015 the UK Sale of Goods Act provided better protection than the EU directive minimum if one had a claim for faulty goods from the retailer. From 2015 the Consumer Rights Act in the UK is the operative statute, and can confer rights up to 6 years. I believe this complied with the EU directive as it conferred greater rights The important thing about the CRA is you can outright reject a faulty product within 30 days, and have strong rights up to 6 months. Beyond 6 months the onus is on you to demonstrate there was a fault with the product from the outset.

Manufacturers like Pentax are still offering a 2 year manufacturers guarantee in addition to the rights you have against a retailer detailed above.

So no change.....I think

That really sounds like something inducing a panic attack. Dealing with government departments can be a nightmare - even local government. Once they have made their minds up, it takes a miracle to change. Sleep easy tonight Rob.
I accept that things may have become difficult over the last couple of years due to covid, but my experience over many years is that HMRC are very easy to deal with.

It is in their interest just as much as yours that any outstanding issues are dealt with promptly, and the case closed.
