    Just curious. Were you creative in another area before discovering photography?

    I have played the trumpet for a few years from 11-45 years of age. I took used to be in engineering CNC for ahem can't tell you under the official secret act! I think a little bit of creativity helps Oh I am starting to play the trumpet again at 64!!

    The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

    Yep I wear an old hat and camouflage jacket when out honestly nobody gives me a second look when carrying my photography kit. Mind you it's not much. Ancient OMD EM-10ii and a handful of lenses, oh and my beautiful little Finepix X100 of course

    The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

    When I take out my Finepix X100 plus 28mm adaptor and three batteries I use the Domke waxed bag. A bit overkill but I love this bag , my son's bought me this for my 50th birthday present. Good thing is it looks nothing of any value etc blend in a bit

    Fuji Xpro1 flashes

    This was taken years ago with my Xpro-1 and a cheap Godox flash and my old favourite lens the 35mm 1.4

    Fuji Xpro1 flashes

    Any decent old Godox flash will work in manual . I never shoot ttl I just keep working on getting the exposure right. Basic trigger will work on your set up. Good luck with it

    Fuel costs

    We don't do many miles in our EV really but we bought it 2019 as approved used vw and as I said it's been faultless. The egolfs are a great buy as they look like a golf but powered by electricity!

    Fuel costs

    Most of the time we charge we use a 7kwh home charger at a cheaper night rate of 5.7p a kWh cheap as chips

    Fuel costs

    TBH Jeff is very correct about a small EV cannot tow! We drive an eGolf it's been fine for some long hops Norfolk , Arundel, Isle of Wight to name a few. Range anxiety nope never. You can get one of these e Golfs for sub ££6-£8k and no the batteries don't give up ours is 2019 and has 40k on it...

    Fuel costs

    I have to ask Mrs D as I don't have a license anymore We have an EV thankfully, I don't expect the current price for diesel will reduce . The full impact on diesel hasn't been felt yet,, I was reading somewhere that it could double!!! Thanks to Chump

    Very disappointing Mike that the V hasn't been fit for purpose, the reach was so important and you had stellar work with your MK4 The video was useful and not dramatic but pragmatic in it's call to Sony, the more cameras returned the clamouring will affect Sony on this issue.

    What to take ?

    Just take what you really need Jeff, it's always a conundrum for a photographer! Is it a holiday or photography trip? Have a great time whatever you choose

    What makes you keep a camera long term?

    I have a use regularly a Fujifilm Finepix X100 the original. I bought it new in 2011 still looks brand new and gives lovely images

    It's a real disappointment I am sure, but your work with your 'old' MK4 was brilliant too So maybe another MK4 would suit you better?
