A D O R A B L E !

OH's sister partner bought himself a new car last October - at 80! Although he hasn't had an accident he does get extremely distracted. But since buying his new car he has been debilitated by his hip (replacement done and now in recovery) and will soon have an op on his wrist. New car is...

Another Costa Rican....this time at Arenal Observatory Lodge

From a resident of SW London a Lee Enfield and 4 rounds of 0.303 are more suitable. They are on my list of birds I consciously avoid photographing (blue tits, great tits and chaffinchs are on the list too). Photographically, a pleasing shot of an annoying bird.

And the last NSU offering: Got a better picture on iphone video as this is just a snatch shot... Wankel engined, The other car besides the Ro80s at the event was a Mazda RX-8 convertible owned by a friend of the family who has quite a selection of cars in his garage (a Bitter! as well, daily...

I think can be counted on as being 'unique':

Equally rare, an NSU R/T

This nervous dog was owned by a Polish couple whose pitch was next to ours at the NSU Treffen in Austria....poorly little thing.

Can I ask what isn't the D3400 giving you Tim? It's light and high quality and probably less riskier taking it to somewhere like Bali than with a 'flashier' camera. Unless you dislike your current camera I would keep that and save the £500 for something else.

And here is my 1200C offering...

On the other end of the scale.....

I'll start with 10 Ro80s. The 75 and the NG9-5 of the 1960, the car that marked the demise of a brand. Car of the Year 1967, an accolade that has killed most car brands. Plonk an Ro80 next to a Prinz and even a K70 (very unloved in NSU circles) the Claus Luthe designed Ro80 looks remarkably...

Never a fan of the 1200C or Typ 110, they just made the nose too long - resembling a Volga at the front....

A 40-year itch has been to own a T-70, it was either than or a P50 Pentax. I ended up with a C**non which has meant faithfulness to the K-mount system (CP7m ;) ), I did eventually get a P50 a few years back, that is one itch scratched but it is the turn of the Canon. If only film and...

If you were doing some wildflife shots something like a Pentax Z-1 (modern era AF camera - still ~30 years old) will work nicely with telephoto AF lenses and still have full manual control. Cheap as well.
