Just had a look back my old emails and found my receipt from Wex for my X-pro 1 with the 18mm and a Bellingham digital bag for £903.99 including delivery and the offer of a free 60mm or 35mm. Think I went for the 60 as someone was selling the 35 at a good price. I could probably make a profit now!

I'm thinking of picking up an OM-D E-M5II if anyone is looking to move one on. Please post in for sale or I can post a wanted ad.

If anyone else uses the 28mm Viltrox chip lens I’ve got another of these hoods going spare. I can post it in freebies if someone wants it.

All this talk of expensive cameras and lenses has given me a gas attack! Checked the bank account and I’ve settled for a 10p hood for my £60 lens Cheap hood for a cheap lens by barrysprout, on Flickr

Haven't posted for an age, haven't used a camera in an age but was over in Spain for Easter and took a few shots. DSC01887 by barrysprout, on Flickr DSC01843 by barrysprout, on Flickr DSC01874 by barrysprout, on Flickr DSC01838b by barrysprout, on Flickr

I was so close! dipped my little toe back in the Fuji camp for a brief moment, Ordered an X100T for a trip to Spain this week and as soon as I unboxed it and held it I thought It's like coming home. Put my usual preferences into the settings and took a few indoor test shots. All good I thought...

I've just posted a wanted thread for a half case and hood for an X100T if anyone has something in the back of a cupboard. https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/wanted-x100t-half-case-and-black-hood.773433/

If you have a small mft body and lens you are thinking of moving on I could well be in the market this week.

Happy birthday both!

Re: Pergear. Not sure if this tip still works but I posted it on another thread more than a year ago, might be worth a try for anyone not in a rush to order from Pergear.

I got the Viltrox 28mm for my Sony back in October last year and shared a shot of it on my A7R4 just to show how small it is, https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/the-amazing-sony-a1-a7-a9-aps-c-anything-else-welcome-mega-thread.511885/post-9542029

Phew! at least he likes the colour. (y)

I’ve just posted a wanted ad for an A7C II if anyone is looking to part with one. I’d also consider the original A7C or even the A7CR if the price was tempting.

I spent more on my dinner last night than I did on the Viltrox 28mm. A new body cap would have cost 10% of the cost of the Viltrox 28mm Just to give some perspective..... :D
