I don't get around to posting too much here these days but I wanted wish you all good things up in the Highlands David and add my condolences for the loss of your partner. Good to see you're still out there shooting with your GF. :)

Here is a macro from the little LX, and a close up section from the bottom left of the curled bit. I think the macro is like most things about this camera, not the best you'll find but part of possibly the best all round package????

Heya folks, not been around for a while but it's good to see more folks finding the love for the LX5. Still worries me you're not getting sharp enough pics though Alan. I often fill up my car with cameras and lights for shoots but if I'm not working I seldom carry more than the Lx5, even on...

In fairness, with the constant stream of swearing taking attention away from the song, it's not actually as offensive as the original. ;)

I doubt any of us mind a nudge, as you say it works. If I have to remind someone of something I've asked I'll try and do it nicely, at least the first time anyway. ;) Anyway, do you think you'll get one? I'd quite like the 100-300 instead but its lots more cash and at 300 will probably be...

Graham .......... :razz: :lol: Frank, calm yourself there. I wasn't quicker to let you know what I think of my 45-200 but my thoughts on it are here clealy enough for you to read if you just took a minute to do so. The bottom line is it's very useful to have and for the money is...

When I first had the realisation moment that just about all my non work shooting can be done just as well on an LX2 as a MF camera with a digi back, I was surprised to say the least. It makes perfect sense to me now that you do just as well with you GF and it's lowest IQ lens as with FF and L...

You'll be even happier when you start peering down on to the ground glass. The SQ is a really lovely camera to work with and any version of those lenses should be superb. :thumbs:

There is lots of sense in what you say there Brian but 6*6 cameras aren't just about being sensible. They are wonderfully challenging and expressive artists tools and I'm writing this surrounded by square photos. 6*45 is the most sensible way into MF but I've never liked any of the systems...

If the results are what's important here then you just can't beat the SQb. Apart from the slightly cumbersome mirror lock mechanism it's a beautiful bit of kit and can give you negs every bit as good as the 6x6 bodies with more style points. If the budget is there for more then the blad does...

I'm not really sure what you're saying here, or why it required an explanation mark. Do you think that we should have a lower national speed limit?

I'm not sure anything I can think of would be unarguably "valid" but there are places where the limits are simply unreasonable or unrequired. An example would be a dual carraigeway not far from me. It's over a mile long without an entry or exit and the limit was 40. That was pretty much...

The problem i have with this particular conviction ties in the line we are given from the police time and time when justifying these cameras. The old chestnut of "we don't want to catch speeders, just slow them down." For this case to make any sense whatsoever, the police need to come out and...

Sounds to me like you've reached the perfect spring board into something new and brilliant. I've had more days than I care to remember the last few years where all that's kept me going is the thought there could be something really worth discovering just around lifes next corner. Chance does...

I'm not doubting you're very much the ladies man Andy but I reckon your best time for a smooch is later in the evening. ;)
