The cost of a good quality A3 photo printer is probably more than all the money I have spent on prints etc., in the last year or two. Also, A3 photo printers are big and I simply do not have room. I won two boxes of Harman Pro Baryta photo printing paper (A4 and A3) from Black and White Photography magazine and I haven't even taken the cellophane off them yet.Not many people printing at home, is that due to cost or some other reason?

I would dearly love to be able to do my own printing so that I could experiment with different types of paper etc., but in current circumstances it is unlikely.

I only ever use Av or manual. The camera is set to default to 100ASA, and centre spot focusing. The ISO is assigned to the front dial, aperture to the rear dial. I tried reassigning the AF to the AF button instead of the shutter button as recommended by someone on here (?Matt) but couldn't get on with it. SR on, and if I am using a tripod the remote control setting turns it off. Aperture, well whatever it was on last time I used it.
I am increasingly using manual lenses for which I change to M mode but with +1 ev dialled as in more often then not the meter underexposes with them.
Best wishes, Kris.

Perhaps I could mount it on the handlebars of my Bandit...

Indeed it is Covent Garden marketplace. I work just around the corner on Long Acre so I spent many lunches in the area...Love the second shot, is the third Covent Gardens ?

Most of this thread could be written in Swahili for all I would know. I guess my 20 year old master's in computing (and archaeology) has got a little out of date. Come to think of it, even then I was more interested in what I could make the damn things do than what was inside the box. As long as it runs R, allows me to access the internet, edit photos and back up my files, job done. Oh, and it is helpful if I can shove it in a backpack when travelling.

I wonder what the PCSOs would make of it in the City of London?

It is a marmite lens, you either love it or hate it.
Hopefully enough people love it to buy mine at a way OTT price!

I read that next week a Scottish beer called "Tactical Nuclear Penguin" goes on sale here in Sweden. At 540kr (ca £47) for a 33cl bottle I will not be sampling it, despite it being the worlds strongest beer. At 32% you Scots have a strange definition of beer. I'd call it rocket fuel.
