I could resist no longer and now have my first legacy lens for the XPro and X-M1. From the nice people at Ffordes comes a new old stock Rollei 50mm f1.8 HFT Plannar by Zeiss. Here are some quick pics taken as soon as it arrived. Misty by trickletreat, on Flickr Misty by trickletreat, on...

Thanks Bill. I think it's a great lens and if I buy a D750 then it will be the first lens I buy. Light and easy on the neck strap!

I think it was this one, Nikon 70-200mm f/4G ED VR AF-S NIKKOR Nigel

Likewise, clocked your forum name and thought it must be you! Yes really miss 'the hooligan'. My son is having a shell up resto done at the moment, a clubman, but fitted with a tuned Vauxhall engine! It will take about six months. Back on topic, great camera choice, have tried one myself, but...

Very interesting website story Will, and the photographs are enjoyable too.{followed your photo stream to Wayne and the story]

Great idea and it will be interesting to see how it develops. Nigel http://www.flickr.com/photos/75046743@N05/

Hi Damien, I recently took part in a ten strangers project and posted results on a forum. I was asked by the members and admin to explain how I approached people. I went over my photographs starting with my use of a dslr and realised that there was a bit of a story, so I wrote a short article...

Blood, sweat and tears shifting sacks of potatoes as a young teenager earned me enough money to buy the Ricoh XR1 with 50mm 1.7. I couldn't stretch to the Olympus or Pentax offerings. It was a great and simple camera, but was eventually sold to fund booze [and some food] when I left home to...

No problem, here is the link... http://www.fujix-forum.com/index.php?/topic/4360-strap-lug-wear/ Nigel

Lovely photograph and well done getting it published.
