Went today and found it was alright overall and spent most of the day there. Busy though. Several people said Sunday was quiet, Mother’s Day. Wandered round several times, engaged and chatted with lots of people on their stands, let them show me stuff I wasn’t interested in but learned some...

Am going on Monday. Not sure I can be Rsed now! But paid for ticket…

I bought one last year with a double (retailer and Epson) discount from photo show. Bought it because it looked like it would do all I needed at a vey decent price. In retrospect it would have been a great buy at normal rrp. It’s an excellent bit of kit imo. Still on first set of ink too..

My well used Nikon FE2. I have a spotless FM3a and several FE/FM models, a couple of F3’s and plenty others frankly, however my 40 odd yo black FE2 always feels best in the hand. Helps that this was what I always wanted in my teens but couldn’t afford then. It’s still my most oft used film...

My R5ii arrived on Saturday (along with about the last ‘spare’ P battery in the UK I think). It’s quite good ;)

So, I’m assuming the stacked sensor removes rolling shutter from the equation when using ES? How about the eye controlled focus? Do R3 users find it to be something they now couldn’t do without? Or still a bit gimmicky? I ask, as on paper at least, the R5 Mii would seem to offer some worth...

Allegedly there are three more 35mm cameras planned, two of them slr, one of those being fully manual. Whatever that means in Pentaxland!

Terrible news, so sad to hear this. My condolences to all his family and friends.

R5 or R6ii. R3 if you need it.

Aha. An update…

Are there now firmish specs for the R5 mkii?

R8 could be your FF holiday camera? RP body, R6 ii sensor and some of the tech, No ibis.

I think you rather prove the position I was illustrating… Mind, your argument, taken literally, would suggest that anything by Monet can’t be a great picture because his brush strokes aren’t fine enough.

Oh boo hoo. The only people bothered by corner pixel performance are those zooming in and looking at and for evidence of 'poor' corner pixel performance. In my life, not one person, not one, has told me that a picture would have been a good one if only it had better pixels in the corners.

No doubt ultimate IQ would be better on a more expensive Zoom. But perhaps just give it a go, it's a bargain whether you keep it or sell it on. You can always hire a more expensive zoom from Canon for free for a couple of days and see which you prefer...
