Harsh, Paul, harsh 🤣

I’d exclude my X70 and the GFX range, but I’m not complaining otherwise…

[drmarkf]

It’s really good to get presents like this from one’s children. We’ve all probably got too much ‘stuff’, while shared experiences are priceless....

[drmarkf]

I took my annual trip to WPotY at the Natural History Museum with my younger daughter today.

I thought they’d got the balance of subject...

Best murder weapon mentioned above is that Nikon D2X. Bludgeon them to death with the lumpen thing!

[drmarkf]

The improved AF performance suggestions would be nice, but the appearance of the mkiii for me is most welcome for its likely effect in reducing the price...

[drmarkf]

It also depends on your primary wildlife aim: I’d say the 50-200 will be an absolutely ideal safari lens (possibly beaten only by the 150-400 depending...

[drmarkf]

Yes, it’s easy for me as well: rail from Shelford station (at the end of our road) to Liverpool St, then Elizabeth line to one or other of a couple...

[drmarkf]

Fortunately I missed whatever it was that Darkroom said here, but I have come across a couple of other contributions from him in the past that I thought...

[drmarkf]

Sounds interesting, as do some of that podcast’s other episodes. I’ll have a listen.

[drmarkf]

[drmarkf]

I’m not going to be able to come to the Show this year, unfortunately, but they’ve just released the first tranche of speakers, and there are some...

[drmarkf]

There is of course the amazing National Motorcycle Museum just a couple of miles away from the NEC, and a number of great ‘transport’ museums around...

[drmarkf]

So sorry to hear of this: I had missed this thread until now.
Every good wish to you both, Ian....

[drmarkf]

Yes, grey and dull here (when it wasn't pi$$ing down, that is) 🙄

My daughter got some great shots near Stroud.

[drmarkf]

Wow - what an amazing range of great images!

[drmarkf]

The Z8 is a really serious bit of kit. Enjoy it (and make sure you keep posting the results on here!).

[drmarkf]

That's awful, Jeff. I'll be thinking of you.

Photography can be a great way to lose oneself for a few hours when times are tough. Hopefully...

[drmarkf]

Not sure where to post this but, for the Oly TG-7 Tough fans on here, the latest edition of Derrick Story’s ‘Digital Story Podcast’ (no. 1,035,...

[drmarkf]

Yes, I wasn't sure in which part of the forum to post this, and I remember feeling the same when I last posted something here about an exhibition!
