    He did... blame it on an age thing..!! Forgot to add to the original photo that I was using the waist level finder and it was hand held.

    OK Chaps.. here goes. My first photo with my ETRSi + 40mm lens. The film was about 18 months out of date..!! Pretty happy with the first attempt. Room for improvement I think.

    Tromso, March 2022

    Taking a trip, end of March 2022, up the coast of Norway to Tromso and, hopefully, catching the Northern Lights. What camera gear would you guys pack? (main dslr will be a nikon d7000).. All suggestions gratefully received as it will give me time to source stuff, should I need it..

    The Benbo Tripod Saga..

    I understand what you're saying but he actually made at least four of these 'auto-geared' cycles. Never got to try one out, but I did see them being ridden.

    The Benbo Tripod Saga..

    A friend of mine, from way back, designed a set of cycle gears that were 'automatic'. Based on a weight, attached to the spokes, the faster you went the further out the weight travelled pulling a wire fitted to the gear cogs, or something. Far too complicated for me to explain fully, but his...

    The Benbo Tripod Saga..

    Well I got around to unpacking the Benbo Trekker Mk3 today and I have to say I'm very, very impressed. But, before I launch into it's pros and cons, let me just say I can't understand those comments I've heard suggesting it's like "wrestling with an octopus" etc. Those people who saw my other...

    And then there were TWO..!!

    Cheers guys. Whilst this Benbo quite clearly has signs of being well used it has no, obvious, signs of abuse. My wife picked it up, stood with it in her hands for 30 seconds, and proclaimed "Well I wont be borrowing this any time in the future..!!". I reminds me of a miniture Acro. The, very...

    Considering an upgrade, but to what?

    I have what I consider to be an excellent Nikon D7000. It performs well, always done everything I have asked of it and I'm well satisfied with it. But I think it's time I had an upgrade. Right now my head is swimming with too much information regarding all the newer Nikon cameras, I've gone into...

    At the moment I only have a 75mm on my ETRSi, but I'm actively looking for a 40mm in good condition. Thus far internet searches are telling me that there are an awful lot more 40mm lenses out there than I expected, and some look real dogs..!! Of course one has to be circumspect about things and...

    And then there were TWO..!!

    Indeed..!! Well, to be honest, I'd watched a few YouTube videos which made it obvious (at least to me) how to set them up. I gave it a try when I collected it from the auction house and had a laugh because the auctioneer said he'd spent 15 minutes trying to set it up for their catalogue...
