Cute! (and beautifully framed)

Phil

Lovely camera! When it came out I couldn't afford one and had to settle for an ME instead. I've still got it, and the 40mm pancake that came with it, they both still feel and handle beautifully.

I hope that you explored past the Priory through to the area the other side of the lock.

Very interesting collection - it's the more abstract ones that catch my eye, with Nos. 5 & 8 being the ones that really do it for me.

I make use of an old Hi-Fi cabinet - room on top for odds & sods like battery chargers, filter cases, etc., and two shelves below for lenses. It's open front and back, so plenty of air circulation. The bottom still has about 50 my 'favourite' albums (remember them!) stored there.

I use two different types. A Haida circular one (77 mm) which I have used for ages and I think is excellent - no noticeable colour cast. I have recently also started using a Lee Big Stopper. I use this when I am also using Grad NDs as I find it very difficult to set the Grad in the correct position when using the (screw-in) Haida. With the Lee, I can just drop that in behind the Grad. which just makes things easier. Personally, I don't think that the Lee has much of a colour cast - slightly cold maybe when compared to the Haida.

I'll continue to use both depending on circumstances, and would recommend either.

It appears to me that the model has no hands and as a result can't sign the form for themselves. Perhaps you could sign it on their behalf as their 'guardian'!

Nice set - I'm particularly taken with #7 - the Dublin shot, I that that it is very effective.

Phil

Love the second one.

I've used mine in heavy snowfall and extreme cold (-20oC) and never had a problem, although I always do as John does, i.e. wipe the barrel before zooming in, etc. I've also used for prolonged periods in the (inevitable?) rain that we get in the UK without a problem - I hope I'm not tempting fate!

My Canikon using friends are always putting their kit in plastic bags when it rains, with the exception of those using the 'Pro' kit, and are frequently surprised that I don't need to.
