Nice, love the apples, they look like wild cooking apples, hope you grabbed a bag of them to make a nice tart
Thanks, mate
They wer only small, in a little orchard at Penshurst. Not bad to have something like that in your back yard though
The type my grandad used to grow in his garden - his were like mini watermelons!! and we simply called them 'cooking apples' [no idea the proper name] and my Dad was a baker by trade so he'd take bags of them and convert them into apple pies/tarts, sometimes mixed with rhubarb, also from my Grandad's garden 
Ah, this is the great thing about photos, things can oft appear exaggerated - they looked like proper big cooking apples to me at first glance
Haven’t had a chance to try it yet, for £300 it’s an absolute bargain. Will post up a few pics soon.
Wow I bet those pies were good
] to tomatoes, apples, rhubarb, strawberries, blackcurrants etc ... Sadly my Dad stopped regular baking too when we got older as he has bad rheumatoid arthritis - his hands in particular are all beat up and swollen so baking is a bit more akin to torture for him. But, as a kid our house was always filled with a bakery smell, there's be pies and tarts cooling, with cream buns, scones, cheese cakes etc readily available. No surprise my friends would often tell me they were hungry when they called over lol
Just received my first third party lens for my H-X1, the Viltrox 23mm F1.4. First impressions are it’s fantastic build quality, easily as good as Fuji lens! And a metal lens hood
They were amazing, and we had a free supply of all the fruits we needed from my Grandad's garden, bless him, he worked the drills daily - had everything from carrots and parsnip [not so good in sweet pies
I checked that tooI’m pleased to see the X100V offer is the same and not hundreds of pounds off it
La-la-laaaa. *Fingers in ears..*
I‘ve been pondering this lens over the last few days. Fuji seem to have a 6th sense when it comes to taking my money. Is it worth it over the Samyang 12mm is my question.?
Kayley using railings to try get taller than her, she's tiny in comparison otherwise

Love those.A few from a quick and fun shoot with my girls earlier, while we still had some light. Our Kayley is more a natural for posing then our Emily [has been very shy about photos for the past few years, was my mini muse when she was younger!] - Kayley has Cerebral palsy, why does this matter? it doesn't for end result but she has trouble standing/posing without help, but insists on it - she's no different than other girls her age [16] when it comes to wanting to look good, and she oft asks me to take pics of her for her IG/FB. Good practice for me, and if I get it right she feels good in the mix. Tonight was just a brief tester for portraits using the Viltrox 85mm on the X-H1, I think we did ok considering the light was a bit crap
Inc one of Emily in her awkwardness

#1 is really nice, mate
Not so sure about the cap in the others, but what canyou do when they want to wear it
Looks like a good bit of glass.
Aye, she'd just bought it - which actually triggered the shots in the first place; twas i suggested she remove it for that shot without, which I do prefer
Mine is just the same, and I`m lucky if I get more than 10 minutes now, hey ho ...

Now got the 23mm f1.4 in again @ £165.Anyone used to the 16-55 would feel right at home with it I think, or indeed the 90mm. The 90 is a little longer but about 100g lighter. Some reviewers have the viltrox down as being the better built. The hood for mine actually snaps on and off nicely, have seen many complain that theirs was either too tight or would not stay on at all. Mine came with the latest fw pre installed so maybe it's from a later batch? Hopefully give it a good try out after lunch - thanks again for the HU on the sale
