    [Canon] Beyond 200mm - 100-400mm L II?

    OH sold her 100-400 EF2 to go for the RF100-500. Regretted it. Now she has a 300/2.8. Anything slower than f5.6 is a no no in my view, especially indoors.

    WAMT....what annoyed me today!

    Colleague telling me about her MOT experience. Station tells her she needs 3 new tyres, no she doesn't. However they did pick up that the tyres are old, 16 years old and the car was registered in 2016!! So either she has been given remoulded ditchfinders or fleeced by a tyre dealer... Poor...

    Photobook Recommendations

    For the price I go for Blurb, and I often wait for their offers.

    WHICH DELIVERY COMPANY

    For deals within UK, RMSD is the only option I would consider. Overseas is a different matter, trouble is that more often than not when item goes over water tracking becomes trickier.

    Good Full Frame Digital Camera for Manual Lenses?

    I's second that, simply because of the superb optical viewfinder and the fact that anything works on the K-mount, coupled with the price, then I'd go Nikon D8*0 series. Knowledge of Canon system scant.

    CLASSIC and important CARS - open thread:

    Lovely! A proper Merc, shame Daimler had to tarnish the brand with the A and B classes. Win the lottery I might treat myself to a Grosser, drive into London and do a Mr Bean in front of City Hall

    So did Hunt deliver for you?

    Wasn't VAT cut during Pandemic and then restored to 20%, just like the 5p cut in fuel duty 2 years ago I doubt whether anyone noticed a saving apart from the retailers.

    So did Hunt deliver for you?

    Would have been much better if he'd raised the 20p threshold, I benefitted but my 90-year old mother hasn't.

    As long as you didn't get them from Toolstation, bloody unhelpful with getting CR123As they were....Went to the River company I did.

    Apparently only if you went under 20% from some sources...we've got 2 empty cartrigdes so I guess the residues in those must be dry.

    WAMT....what annoyed me today!

    Ordered T8507 and T8509 by mistake - these are for Epson SC-p800... As we have 3880 it needs T5807 and T5809. The external dimensions are exactly the same but there are lugs in the T85* that stops the cartridge going fully into the space where it should go, that;s when I realised my...

    Got some cartridges for our Epson 3880 - got the part number right, just in the wrong order, realised as soon as I tried to install......can't return them because package is opened....another £90 burned.

    Pic(s) you took today - an open thread

    You might think I'm sad, doing this on the theme of 'Richmond Seen' at our local camera club's upcoming exhibition. Boxes with VR are so common around here.

    WBMT.....What baffled me today

    Postboxes.... VR EviiR GR EviiiR GviR EiiR I know we might not have any for Charles yet but why did George 5th cipher not have the roman numbers for 5? I think Victoria can be excused as she may remain the only VR unless George 7th first born is called Victoria,,, George 4th had only died 80...
