Radio 2? Isn't that just wall-to-wall Wogan? I haven't listened to it for decades. Radio 4 for me unless "Moneybox Live" comes on and then I cannot turn the radio off fast enough.

Main snags I can see with the A version (either variant) is that it isn't AF and the camera won't adjust SR automatically when you zoom. I'd love an A 35-70mm f4 for my Super A, but I'd still recommend the F 35-70mm for anyone after a cheap compact AF walkabout lens.
True. I don't often use older zooms on digital as they aren't really up to it. It would be nice to have something reasonably sharp for my film bodies though, like the Super A or the LX. I like the F35-70 but as with most AF lenses, manually focusing it is a bit naff.Main snags I can see with the A version (either variant) is that it isn't AF and the camera won't adjust SR automatically when you zoom.

The constant f/4 version isn't very common though.

Unfortunately I cannot see the flower photos in the first post. Would love to see them too because I really like flower photos. I have a few of them in my flat because I think such pictures are very decorative. Some time ago I received wonderful cheap flowers by post which a friend have sent to me. It was such a beautiful bouquet of flowers that I took a picture and now the picture is framed in my flat and it is very decorative.

Just watched Back to the future III.
I'd forgotten how easy they were to watch.
Off topic, the FED 2 arrived yesterday, it's an early one and a little rough but hey, it still works.

If you haven't tried him yet then when you run out of Reachers try Indridason. Set in Iceland they are wonderfully written books. It is ages since I read a book at a single sitting but I did with my first one and now I have to force myself to slow down and do other things rather than devouring the next one.
Thanks Gwen, I have ordered the first one from Amazon. If you haven't tried him yet then when you run out of Reachers try Indridason. Set in Iceland they are wonderfully written books.

I have just acquired one of these which will be very useful because, as John says, it packs down into a nice carry case. In fact, the baseboard is the carry case. The only downside is that the fitting for the camera has two metal protrusions which enable one to get a Spotmatic body level on the holder but prevent one attaching a modern digital body easily. I'm having to use one of those plastic spacers that came with the M series cameras.
Thanks for looking into it for me John.

The F35-70 is a lovely lens, and your pictures show that. I ought to use mine more often. I'll admit I got it simply to have a 'correct' lens for my SF7 but it deserves more than that.

Going off topic, was the P50 higher or lower in spec than the P30?
