That's a nice bit of nostalgia for me. I was born in Glaisdale Road and my first school was Oldbury Court. I well remember fishing for sticklebacks in that stream. Nice photos that capture the atmosphere of the place very well.

Mmm, link did not work as I hoped...just scroll down the 'all posts' section until you reach the 'Bigelow Photo' post of the 3rd March. The Samyang 24mm tilt/shift lens reference is in one of the replies to that post.

On their facebook page the man from Samyang is saying they are bringing out a 24mm tilt/shift later this year. He does not go into detail but they usually do their lenses in Pentax fit.

I've never tried to link to a facebook page before, so here's hoping this works...

So am I right in thinking that there are no flash triggers that support P-TTL?

My order of preference:

1. No.2 Really atmospheric, would lose the vignettes though. Yes, I would have it on my wall as well.
2. No.3 Beautiful, though the cloud reflection is a bit dominant.
3. No.4 Nice light, though the colours look a bit warm to me.
4. No.1 Very well executed - but any landscape competition will be packed with pics with crisply rendered boulders in the foreground.

Wow! They don't call it 'giant' for nothing...

Phew! That's a relief. I've had a struggle to stop myself buying this since you put it up for sale. I have eight other Gitzo pods and monopods in the cupboard but nothing this grand (because I don't have any really heavy lenses). I almost gave in and spent some of the money I have saved for my daughter's graduation present on it!

Congrats to the buyer. I'm sure it will not disappoint.

Well the best image quality of any compact I have owned (including the G12) was the Olympus C5050

Similar size to the G12, bright viewfinder and a superb lens. Didn't take SD cards though I'm afraid.

Does such a thing exist from any manufacturer? I too went for the G12 but the viewfinder is not great - I almost always use the screen. The Fuji X100 is reckoned to be good but it is not that compact. The Fuji X10 looks maybe the best possibilty, certainly worth a look.
