    High-end bridge cameras: Sony RX10, Panasonic FZ1000 etc

    Not as far as I know - just wishful thinking on my part! Since Sony have done it, albeit for a smaller sensor, it's obviously possible but not yet been done. Closest is a pair of lenses but even then, you lose a little at the wide end (18-135 + 100-400).

    Funeral Music

    Mum went into the oven to Barwick Green. It changed to the familiar part just as the curtains closed.

    WCMUT....what cheered me up today

    My normal rounds are between 12 and 20 points - mainly at the lower end! It was 7 nett birdies/eagles with one blob and a nett single bogey. The course is only a 33 par 9 holes (with a few extra tee spots for s slightly different "back 9") and about 2 1/2 - 3 miles around it (depending on...

    WCMUT....what cheered me up today

    First game of g*lf since holiday - 3 1/2 weeks off... Despite a blob (non scoring hole), I managed 24 Stableford points over 9 holes. MOST unusual for me - I usually have a couple of decent holes but 4 pars in a round is a first.

    I'm HOPING it's sub £2,000 but expecting it to be over (at launch), dropping a bit at the end of summer. I'm also HOPING that my iii lasts until the v IS sub 2!!! Of course, IF Fuji come up with an equivalent single zoom, a fresh option opens up.

    All green 4 for me. Almost a 5 but realised what I had left just in time!

    Passkeys

    My old phone's facial recognition was a joke. It sometimes failed to recognise me at all but would sometimes recognise me when I was wearing sunglasses.

    High-end bridge cameras: Sony RX10, Panasonic FZ1000 etc

    As I've almost certainly said before, FOR ME, the advantage of the RX-10 over any systems is the size. The thing is smaller than even an X-T1 with the 18-135, with the extra reach over that as well. Yes, there are slight compromises, especially since I shoot JPG rather than raw but as a travel...

    Temporary car insurance ?

    That was Jeff (the black fox). Mrs Nod did dispose of her MX-5 through webuyanycar for a quick, hassle free sale. Could probably have got more for it after dealing with a load of tyre kickers but she was still working then. It was the lad at the local drop off point who told us that it was a...

    Topsy's Dartmoor Rambles

    Shoot them? (NOT the dogs, necessarily!) Same with those who use disposable BBQs direct on the ground or use crevices in the Tors as nappy disposal sites etc....
