Tend to agree on this one..

...it's like chewing old bicycle tyres!

One thing that French cuisine has definitely got wrong.
I was told andouilette was invented by the French as a joke on the English and never ever order it anywhere

And just remember it's only there to set up the shake reduction system. If you switch that off you'r not asked for the focal length when you turn the camera on.
Forgot about SR. I was going to be using it with the camera on a tripod so SR would be off. Something to play about with anyway

Av is formally defined as 2 x log(base2) of the aperture. So 2 x ln(13)/ln(2) is ~7.40.

Why log(base2)? Because each whole number increase represents a doubling, i.e. one stop.

Why multiply by 2? Because the amount of light let in by a given f-stop is proportional to the aperture's area rather than its diameter, so the aperture squared is the key variable.

A fuller explanation is here:

I wondered about the zoom setting. I have an old adaptall 2 lens 80-210mm but not played around with it yet.

Exactly where I predicted it would be, the last place you looked

Good luck with the job hunting Andrew. I was lucky only had one qualification to remember, although I did a lot of job related courses which were really a bit of a holiday.
