I’ve been using a 512Gb micro SD in my Fiio M11 for 18 months almost everyday. It was the biggest available at the time so I’d have no problem using a 1Tb.

That’s the bottom line ultimately for us all, morality is for most of us, most of the time, an abstract concept. The reality is this is a dog eat dog world, more so now than in the past. Jeez I’m getting very cynical in my old age

Can you honestly say that you haven't bought something, be it trainers or clothing that wasn't produced in an exploitative sweatshop in Bangladesh or Vietnam ? Was your (somewhat tortured ) decision to purchase said articles based on morality, or cost ?

Again, once our elected representatives set an example, then I for one will be happy to follow, its not gonna happen though .

I think the morality argument would be valid if we had a moral government which were beyond reproach on all things moral. As always it’s the working sods that pay their taxes, whereas our leaders continually have their snouts in the trough and look after their cronies, much to the detriment of...

If it was me I’d try and pick up a cheap Fuji XE-2 or 3 and a used 18-55mm, you’d probably get the combo for around £500-600. You’d get really excellent shots in a fairly compact package.

Around 50 years for me. Joined the school camera club when I was 12, saved like a maniac and bought my pride and joy, a Zorki 4K and that was me hooked !

Excellent news, the loss of this forum would’ve been a massive blow. Good luck and deepest appreciation to the new team

Thanks for all you’ve done Marcel, for more years than I can remember (2012 !) checking into TP has been a daily event for me, such a useful resource, I’ve learned so much. I hope somehow it’ll keep going ! Thanks again.

I’d go for the Ricoh GR series, very compact, APS-C sensor, sharp lens, and snap focusing is perfect for street. Oh yes and I’ll be putting my mint GRii on the classifieds very shortly

I think some Amazon accounts have been hacked, particularly in Germany, not long ago I seen a Leica Q at a ridiculously low price on a German Amazon store, they seemed to specialise in gardening equipment. I messaged the seller and it turned out they had their account compromised..

I'm seriously toying with buying the X100V so I will be selling my X100F, if you're intereseted let me know and I'll get some photos etc uploaded.

Well I concluded my deal, I got a very good price for my lens, quick payment. I was peed off having taken a holiday for a pick up that didn’t happen. Overall it was a good experience, in hindsight the fault lay with DPD the courier, not MPB.

In all fairness that excuse is well and truly played out. Have you been on the high street recently. I’m a key worker and have been working all kinds of hours since this virus has landed upon us. Days off are few and far between, and to be stuck indoors on a very wet and windy day waiting for a...
