Interesting option. Thanks taxboy, I think I'll give them a go. Have you tried them at all?

Looking for some warm, waterproof gloves for woodland photography that are flexible enough to use on my camera controls and don’t cost a fortune. Any recommendations?

Anyone recommend a wireless remote control for my camera? I've tried the Sony Creator app and find it unreliable and it messes around with focussing because iof having to switch on Touch Screen.

Thanks. Yes, fair point about a private sale. My choice to go mirrorless. Thanks for your advice. Thanks for this advice. Am researching deals at the moment.

I am looking to trade in my Nikon D850 against a Nikon Z9 and am looking for the best place to to a part exchange? Is this the best way to do it (as opposed to just selling it and buying elsewhere)? Any suggestions of dealers who give a decent price?

Thanks wornish - very helpful! What lens(es) do you use on your OM1 Mk3? I seem to have lost my mojo for taking pics. It all started earlier this year when I bought an online session with a well-known landscape photographer where he critiqued my photos. At the time it was quite helpful, but for...

Hi John75 - love it! Spare and simple. What's the focal length of the lens on the Panasonic?

Sorry to hear that and hope you are feeling loads better now. The Olympus model you have seems to get a lot of support - will look into it.

Some great ideas to explore here, Jim. Many thanks.

Think I need to go out and test some in the iron.

Yes, I like the idea of Sony and that's where I first started looking but quickly realised the ones I was looking at (eg A7R series) weren't any lighter than my current set-up. I sympathise! I turn 70 in Jan 22. I assume it doesn't have interchangeable lenses? Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks Phil V - all fair comments and questions. I've answered @ancient_mariner’s's questions so hope this gives a better steer.

Thanks that's a good point. Mainly I shoot landscapes, portraits, buildings and low light interiors, a bit of macro too. It's got to be lighter than my current set-up (Nikon D810, 24-120mm zoom, 105mm macro) for me to be able to manage it with reduced hand strength. Budget: max £2k

I mainly use zoom, occasionally a prime (105mm) for macro.

Thanks both for these Olympus suggestions. Certainly seems to solve the weight issue!
