It's not April 1st and I've strolled into a trap?

Those lenses are going nowhere near my cameras until they have been thoroughly checked for fungal problems etc. They should be OK as central heating pipes run through the cupboard, to the naked eye they look OK.

Today has been a good day. Digging around in the back of a cupboard I discovered 4 lenses that have lurked in there for at least 20 years, don't get too excited. 3x 50mm 1.7s and a 135/.3.5 I think someone has hidden them. And they all work. Something to alleviate the boredom. Whoopie

Beautiful, slightly jealous of the snow. Last good snow for me was January 1962 in Norfolk. Couldn't get out of the village to get back to my ship, even tractors couldn't make it. My Father rang the OOD who's advice was "Get him to ring Eskimo Nell". Only one thing to do, we retired to the pub. Happy days.

Agree with comments regarding K5. Bought mine when they first appeared. Now on semi-permanent loan to one of our sons and still performing well.

I have a Maxsima remote that I have used for about 5 years now, I have just changed the battery (just slide in) for the first time (CR 2032 lithium) no problems at all. Works on K5, K3ii, K70 and K1, bought I think for about a tenner. Funny its marked "for Nikon"

Best wishes to you both in the hope that the "jab" works for you and allows you to get out and about. Regards John

Sorry about this post but I have to get it off my chest. WINTER FUEL PAYMENTS!!!!!! DESPITE MY ADVISING VIA THE INTERNET THAT MY WIFE AND I ARE NOT ENTITLED TO £200.00 EACH(via advisory letter from them) yes you guessed, we each receive £200.00. Exasperation does not cover it. Not fit for purpose. Can't blame Covid for everything. Could keep the £200.00 and buy another lens I suppose.
