Wonder what they'd be like mixed together [emoji51]

A weird tasting rosé!!

 

[jimgallaher]

If you're a competent photographer then you shouldn't need OIS at 16-55mm! Fuji obviously agree!

Hmmmm , that's me told Paradoxically the 18-55mm with OIS is a small and easily handled lens, whereas the 16-55mm is a brute more than double the weight of the 18-55mm, as our colonial cousins would say "go figure" It's a really nice lens, but as I'm old, I'd prefer it to have OIS, I'd also like to be a competent photographer, I'd also like to have more hair and be 30 years younger

 

[jimgallaher]

I'm on no.11.

A man after my own heart I only wish I had a beer glass with OIS because I did spill a drop earlier, I'm obviously not a competent beer drinker

That's an interesting selection. I guess the 25 is of most use, but like the old Hollywood Distagon 28/2, it's a bit on the portly side!!

I'm on Shepherd Neame 1698. Only 6.5%.

Just digging out some old shots from my Helios 44 on full frame...little bit of swirl going on there...

In the Common

Nice, but dangerous. I love belgian beer but most are seriously strong, good at the time. I'm having a few Proper job IPA's and listening to Dr Feelgood Stupidity album, Cornish beer and Canvey Island, an eclectic mix for sure !

Definitely some swirl there I'm going to open a beer now its mickledore,s fault!!

 

[BacktotheFuji]

Here's a test shot from an original Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 58/2 on my X-T1. A little low on contrast as the coating was well, lost about 50 years ago

Before I crack open a beer after the disappointment of the Helios I decided to get out some old Pentax Lenses I bought and have a play in the garden so nothing exciting. All jpegs as I forgot to change to raw

For the record, I feel a bit bad that I got Andrew banned from this thread. I've asked for a mod to reverse it. I'll try to be slower to anger in the future. Sorry folks.

May I respectfully suggest you check out this ? http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/Pages/about-anger.aspx

Be careful what you wish for!

 

[Greggster]

Don't feel too bad, he misread/misunderstood my post and started name calling, I think that's more what did it.

Just thought I should announce I bought an XE1 for Infra Red conversion, Given that the conversion will cost £250 I decided not to plump for the extra cost of another XT style body. IR is a sunny weather pastime so definitely not in need of weather sealing!

Mine was done by Protech (by the previous owner) - no complaints

 

[mickledore]

I have a 40D converted by Protech. Very good indeed.

This time next week (well, maybe in the evenings) I'll be on the draught Theakstons OP in Swaledale.

OOH nice - Swaledale I mean.
Whereabouts in Swaledale?

 

[G.K.Jnr.]

Actually its to do with keeping the size manageable, don't need ois, but it certainly helps a lot of the time. Bit like not needing power steering on a car, but its nice to have and nothing to do with competence

Couldn't agree with you more Rich.

[tijuana taxi]

I wondered what had become of Ritchie Blackmore

 

[G.K.Jnr.]

That's a very nice shot Sir, not seen one of those instruments for years. Great comp', and very well suited to mono.

George.

 

[THIRTYFIVEMILL]

Very good. What instrument is that?

 

[BacktotheFuji]

Looks great in that vintage style of mono. Relative of Tony Robinson?

 

[G.K.Jnr.]

Just a simple shot of some "Bleeding Heart" flowers from the garden.

Thanks to all for the positive comments.

Staying in Muker. In the flat opposite and owned by the Farmers Arms. We stayed there last year as well .... Very cosy, good value, and dog-friendly. Bliss!

 

[THIRTYFIVEMILL]

OK, thanks David. Interesting looking instrument.

OK, thanks David. Interesting looking instrument.

interesting sound too, best heard with ear plugs

LOL! Well, I love the bagpipes so maybe it would sound just fine to me.

you'll love it then, it's a very droning style of 'music'

 

[G.K.Jnr.]

That's very nice, George. Like that a lot.

Many thanks Sir, much appreciated.
