So someone can get a bargain when you sell it on hardly used. You can then buy a macro lens with the proceeds and move that on too after a short period.

There used to be a LR yearly subscription available with a big discount on Amazon Black Friday. I'm still using LR 6.14 for printing and editing, so not sure about the current prices.

I went to Middlesbrough in 1976 and again in 2020, it was pretty grim first time and hadn't improved much over 40 years later. One of the few places I didn't walk round with my camera on a wrist strap. Tourist Information office had closed down and the Transporter Bridge didn't work anymore and...

Tehran on Apple TV, halfway through season 3, really enjoyed the whole series.

I had this call from "Openreach" last Friday. Wanted me to confirm my name and address which to my surprise they had Declined that request and asked what they wished to discuss, but they wouldn't answer directly. In the end they became very strange and said you can hang up if you like, so i did...

Did ours at home, had to redo one, but both were then accepted. Use Avanti for our yearly travel insurance, price is ok for the areas we need covered. Some of the hotter countries are excluded and cruises, neither of which we have any interest in. They paid out last year when a fairly expensive...

Using the Logan 424 is very easy, in fact hard really to go wrong. Measure up your opening and draw the lines on the back of the mountboard. Place it on another piece of board to use as a cutting mat. Adjust the blade depth in the cutter so it just goes through the board to be cut. Place the...

This is the basic Logan mount cutter, still got mine and it does the job admirably Logan 424-1 I did buy this posher one when I started doing quite a few more mounts Logan 301-1 Spares readily available and lots of how to videos on the Logan site

I use an E-M5 iii with a 12-45 lens when I travel, daresay that lens would work well with your OM1.

Thanks Morris, this is our third visit to Rotterdam, but must admit I haven't been there. First time direct though, changed in Brussels the last two times and went onwards by the Thalys (now Eurostar) service, Bet I still don't get a good photo of those Cube Houses, very interesting inside if...

Just booked direct to Rotterdam Plus returns, went to Alkmaar last year via Amsterdam on Eurostar. Never got off at Rotterdam so no idea what the border control is like there, only one we haven't sampled.

Eurostar and other mainland European train companies work for us. All border checks carried out at departure, plentiful baggage allowance and decent seating. We do usually travel Eurostar Plus for a bit more space since my wife fractured her hip. The sleeper train service is also booming in...

I have been following the (non)progress on their Facebook page. To be honest I think Ian the owner will end up being ill if he continues much longer. Time for this website to fade into the sunset I reckon

I caught one last week doing that and he mumbled on about how he had a bad leg? Strange excuse especially considering the front door was closer than where he placed the item.

Just had an Amazon delivery and the driver kindly mentioned a policy change. In future they will leave any parcels in your designated safe place without attempting to knock/ring at the door. This is to save time so they can give more drops to their drivers. Be warned if you designate a safe...
