I was in the army for 13 years, we were always creative in ways to bunk off work and drink beer :)

Nice shots, I like the chap leaning into the first image and the red MK1 is a cracking shot

It's mentioned it on profoto website, not sure how much they are talking to each other...

Eye AF is one of the main reasons, being able to track a bride walking down the aisle at f1.4 is amazing. Also eye AF is a game changer for bird and wildlife. The other main reason for me as you say is silent shooting, with stacked sensors. I get so many shots I would not be able to get due to...

I do not think you will get much for £100 but look out for a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 the original one had a 1" sensor and 28mm-100MM lens which was f2.8 at the wide end. You will not get one for £100 but under £200 is possible.

Cracking shot and nice you can get so close. Lots of planning no doubt

Did I see somewhere that Nikon were in partnership with profoto

I want to start taking a few more bird photos as I do enjoy it and it gets me out of the house. My longest lens is the Sony 70-700 f2.8 MKII. I am going to hire the 2x converter (only £28) and see how I like it. I know it will not be perfect but i've read the 70-200mkii works better than most...

great photos. We have hundreds of little egrets where I live but i've never seen one of these.

Are you saying I was posh with a Praktica :) I still have photos taken with my MTL50 in albums that I will always cherish

What an interesting selection, good to see a few Praktica's in there. If my memory is correct you could buy the Praktica and Zenit's from the catalogues. Thats how I got mine with my mum paying for it weekly. No Minoltas in there, I still think it's a shame their name stopped once Sony bought them.

A photo of my first camera the Praktica MTL 50 and my latest the Sony A1. What was you first interchangeable lens camera and your latest.

I do love a silhouette shot.

It went up on average by 29% last year. I can't work out why they must have made a killing during covid with everyone paying their car insurance and driving there cars less due to restrictions.
