Thank you both, much appreciated. K.

I'm not the right person to comment as I will be getting a Knew for free, but I did find the screen on my Canon G2 very useful at times. It does strike me, sadly, as a poor decision. I'm not sure I'd be in the market for a new camera as my old K-3 still does all I need, and I am reticent to move to a K-1 because of the expense (mainly getting appropriate AF lenses). The one feature of the K-1 I'd love if it is on the Knew is the in-viewfinder levels. But that is me being a bit oddball as usual.

Thanks everyone.

Nice one Kris. The light is handled expertly and the arrangement within the window frame is excellent whether organised by you or the ladies of the church. I like the historical background too.

Definitely the ladies of the church! But their nice arrangement and the light is what caught my eye. Thanks.

Markyate is a village in Hertfordshire and this is one of the windows in the church.

Markyate has three claims to fame. Firstly, it used to be half in Hertfordshire and half in Bedfordshire with the county boundary running down the High Street. Secondly, it has one of the earliest bypasses. Lastly, the notorious "Wicked Lady", a highwaywoman, was rumoured to be Lady Katherine Ferrars who lived in Markyate Cell, a local stately home.

Only you could make a statement like this, Kris!
I can't post the photos, but this is one of them: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/288579/41246680/in/album/874242

During my tidy-up and sort-out the other day I found a roll of Rollei Retro 80S that had been exposed. I had no memory of when I used it, so I sent it off to be developed. When it came back, I found it was from 2015! This was the last frame.

I have no idea how experienced your daughter is so this might be teaching grandma to suck eggs (if it is, ignore this), but I would make sure she knows how to read a histogram and use exposure compensation. All that snow will make exposure a little tricky.
