I picked up a couple of M lenses when I first started out a couple of years ago and still use them occasionally, just depends what I am shooting. Still look for "Bargains"

On Stuey's advice it is no longer a religion but The Cult of K-Mount.

Having met many of the members in person, there will be no naked rituals. In fact as much clothing as possible is advised.

We shall meet at the church in Whitby on midsummers eve and all discuss the advantages of full frame.

And Canon is not canon!
Can't make it to Whitby but I'll check on the date of the full moon for my annual pilgrimage to Longniddry, bbq at midnight being organised

The first few days of sunshine and...

I'm on Doxycycline.

Rule 1: Avoid Sunlight and/or sunlamps

Rule 2: Take sitting down or standing up with lots of water

Won't go into the other rules, to sad to think about

Finally received a reply from Redsnapper:

Hello Stan, sorry for the delay your email got dropped into our spam box.

The QR plate max weight figure is a bit of old history when people were enquiring about hanging their cameras on straps like the Black rapid ones - it's not very clear on the website.

The QR plate weight capacity is integral with the head overall weight capacity.

Hope this helps
Have purchased elsewhere.

Hanselling We have a tradition where if anything with pockets is bought ie coats jacket bag etc., a coin is placed, by anyone not owning the item, in one of the pockets to ensure good fortune for the owner. Having just bought a small camera bag I requested Mrs Snap break with tradition and instead of money suggested a nice lens would be more suitable. So far the silence has been deafening
Is this a country wide tradition, perhaps under a different name?

That already happened.
And it's nothing like a mini-Facebook, to quote a previous post.
I know, and I'm a member (assuming we are on the same forum)

Sorry to hear that Stan, I hope that some improvement will be possible in the future.
Thanks John,

I have a cataract on what was my "best" eye which isn't bad enough yet for treatment. I can still use my camera and listen for the "beep" or watch for the green lozenge but for judging images, apart from content it's a no go. For the moment it won't stop me putting images on the gallery and I just increase the font size ( Ctrl & + ) while reading the threads. Does make PP a bit more difficult though.

Sorry I won't be entering this, or the monthly competitions because of developing eyesight problem. If I won I would not be able to judge the entries in any competition I set.
