Many thanks for that, I haven't a clue as to which ones will be in the store but that gives me food for thought for what I might be looking out for.
No worries, George .... Have fun, mate

Another very nice Sci-Fi Fujigraph Mate,
"You and Stan @rpn have kinda got me really interested in this sort of thing so much so that just before Tier 4 I stopped by a model/toy store in town to see what I could pick up and maybe have a go at. The lady in the store suggested I hang on for a few days as they had some more figures coming in and then Tier 4 came in first and the store is closed". Just out of interest roughly how big are the toy figures you are using ?
Ditto. I want to buy toys now. The wife is gonna have a fit asking why I'm buying toys when I'm 35 haha. Well, it's actually more because I'm spending more money as opposed to buying toys lol.

More man-maths in action..........................
Investments only work if you sell the item at some point in the future, buying and not selling is definitely man-maths - we are all guilty of it!!!!Haha works for me
But seriously, lok at the prices on ebay and amazon. They don`t go down.
Well it`s not star wars

#1. Whatashot !!!!
Thank you both for the kind words - appreciate your opinion!Normally I stay out of 'other' equipment threads, but Red Tank is simply fantastic.
Love the first one (and the fence on flickr). It looks so pretty
How are you finding that big boy f1?
Mega! In terms of bang for buck I love the Mitakon more though, amazing bit of glass and so well screwed together.
I live 20 minutes from Castle Combe, this is only the second time I've been there in 38 years (last time was 20 years ago!) Always avoided it due to tourists but obviously none of those right now...

It’s currently -4 outside, using the X-T3, am I likely to run into any issues in that temperature?
Anybody else use the 18-135mm? I picked one up a few weeks ago but have only really used it in the last few days. Reason I bought it was for hiking and mountain trips where one weather sealed lens is absolutely ideal. Have to admit, I'm not sure about it though. Seems good at the wide end but I'm struggling with it at the longer end where it seems a bit soft and seems to be really struggle to find focus. I know these lenses are a big compromise so maybe my expectations are too high. But that said the Olympus 14-150ii I was using for similar stuff a while ago was fine.
IMO the 18-135 sacrifices IQ to give you a large zoom range, great OIS and WR in a relatively lightweight package (it is also very good with IR - no hotspots). It just goes to show that you can't have everything!! If the plusses are important then you have to accept the IQ, if IQ is important and you want that focal range then you will have to carry at least two lenses, which is not a lightweight option.
