I remember them also and pdp computer teminals

I usually take a packed meal as there are very few things on the actual Moor, but there is the sporadic pub no idea on prices tho. I pack a few imitation pasties or the like as they fit in walking coat pockets. Along with my smaller lenses. Most of the best places are only accessible by foot...

I agree with Moretonhampstead to Tavistock Road there is even the grey granite Holiday Camp built by HM Gov and the Conchie Road also the drop off the escarpment just after Princetown is lovely but a more normal landscape than the beautiful rugged moors. Yarner Woods I excellent, you sometimes...

I do have an additional way to ruin a few rolls of film I bought my 8 year old a Nikon F55 way back on the late 2000s yes dad had his D50 and his F90 his FG20 and D90 but felt his daughters needed to have a "Real Camera" to learn their craft. Ironically she did and as a teen beat me in most...

I presume seeing many of us remember or have played with analog photography we're nearer our pension than we were when we left school:coat:

Just read this whole thread and being a photographer (hobby) for 40+ years I think most of the gaffs made here have been made by me. I think back to my youthful 20s in the 1980s when a good mate and myself were sitting on the edge of the East Coast mainline awaiting the flying scotsman him with...

As the Grandson of a spud farmer who did contracting for other types of Farmers this is quite an interesting project. During lock down I have unfortunately been working longer hours and in isolation, even now I am not allowed to return to the office. I love how you have used your daily walks for...

Love the composition nature provided a great colour contrast.

Never seen a shot like it before it is absolutely amazing.

Hi I have just found this post and admit I have gone through this quandary over the past weekend and have just purchased the 24-120 F4. I do a lot of work with the F2.8 35-70 D lens and the 80-200 F2.8 but am trying get together a lighter travel kit, I am getting the wrong end of the 50s to...

These are great suggestions my old 8mm was the samyang and always in focus obviously the 14 mm sounds good and almost would give me the same angles I got from my 8mm on my D90 without the quirks of a Rectineal Fisheye (I do like the fisheye effect it now gives on my FX camera). Love the look of...

Thanks for the advice looks like I will have to have short arms and long pockets for quite a while, unless I can find a a decent irix Blackstone or Firefly going cheap and resorting to manual focus, which currently is a problem as my eyes now need bifocals.

The FM2 lever was why I did not buy nikon until the FG followed by the FG20.

Perhaps the Romans were looking for a fault in their paving as somebody put a dent in it. Sorry a bad geologist joke about Yorkshire and its limestone pavements and the local fault.

Love Reading all your posts. I shoot 35mm and Digital but full agree with the sentiments about weight and the long wait for the right light. My back pack often gets to 10kg as I carry more kit than Noah did in the Ark. Can get worse if I am birding for the day as have a spotting scope and 2nd...
