First 3 for a while.

A quick 3 today.

I went out yesterday, spent a few hours on the river, managed a few shots of a Goosander that just ambled by. No Kingfishers, didn't even hear one. Later on, I went to check on my new project, nthing happening there but I did pull in at a quiet spot on my way home, where there is Stonechat and...

Phew.

2 fish in a tank ..... one says to the other, 'I'll drive, you man the guns'.

4 today.

I got to thinking last night, my R7, that I've owned for almost 4 years now, has just ticked over 10k shots, most of those on the electronic shutter. At a guess, I'd say maybe 4k are on the actual shutter. Then my R5ii, I've owned that since September last year and that's not done 1k yet and...

I can't speak for the 100-500 although if it's anything like the EF100-400mkii, it should be a cracking lens. I already have the EF100-400, I use it adapted on my R7 and R5ii and it's staggering, very sharp and also, works well with the EF1.4xTCiii, which gives me roughly ballpark figures to...

Yay, a 3 today, first for a while.

Technically, it's criminal damage but how far down that rabbit hole to go is another thing. I'd start keeping a log with dates, times etc, of any unpleasant goings on. Make it known to a few pals that you're doing so, once word gets back to an errant neighbour that you're doing so, they usually...
