Was trying it out in the garden and soon found my limitations of hand holding and trying to keep sharp focus I'll have to try it out at all the settings using a tripod. Might be a handy size for doing a sparrow/starling/pigeon watch. Wonder how it will perform on the K3

Forgot I had this lens. It looks in good condition but to be honest I can't think of where it would be useful. I think I may be spoilt with the 18-135mm and have other lenses which overlap this range. Any suggestions as where a 135mm would come into it's own or is it really one for the charity shop?

I think the NEXT BIG THING will be another on the lines of the Ricoh GR, small is beautiful, a camera with DSLR features the public can use etc etc., if the price is right. The latest K5's will have to suffice for a while as I can't see R/P breaking the stranglehold of N/C DSLR's on the market.

Thank you, Sir!

Yes but feel some items could have been expanded

The big question is what will happen to it when we're gone ? Even close family members may not be able to maintain the same passion to devote the required time and commitment to even keeping it as it is - let alone continuing the renewel process for generations to come

Assuming there is any family.

I doubt who ever arrives to clear the house will have any interest in anything unsaleable, but Mrs Snap and I will enjoy my photos while we can and it is fun looking for the keepers among the chaff

It appears to ff discussions become more heated than anything else.

But there are FF options out there, you just have to change systems

Stop drinking, get a job.

Why?

Then you can save up money from your wages.

Why?

When you have saved enough money you won't have to work.

I'm not working now.

no phone or internet access since Saturday. Liz spoke to someone in Bombay or somewhere, on her mobile , and was told there is a fault. May take a few days to sort out but we can monitor the situation online
Have temporary access thanks to a kind neighbour giving me wifi access

What's interesting with digital developments now is the wider range of questions concerning model choices than during the 'film era'.

Choice is no more complicated than the size of one's wallet, as it ever has been
