There is always the old shop adages to apply, "File to fit, paint to match" and "Hammer to fit, paint to match". Not much difference on the surface, but some rather large ones when pondered on. "File to fit, etcetera" has always been a thing in photography, just have a gander in the Magnum...

I really like the flash cover! :-)

When the old Mater drops by unannounced, but brings with a surprise lunch...

A bit of mimic fun and games. Self-portraiture

The Spruce are sprouting.

Its is a rather mint LX5, 3600ish actuations, got if for €30ish, two batteries, charger and a sandisk extreme 16Mb card.

Yet again, the mailman delivers: K5 in box, with bodycap, charger, two batteries, one OEM, one non-branded and a manual. 17200 shutter actuations. LX5, with two OEM batteries, charger and an old Sandisk extreme 16Mb card. 3063 actuations on the shutter. Described as well used, if going over...

Haul of the day.

No worries, @John King It is just a little side-project, on par with the Pentax side-gig, as per THIS. :drinks: It is me, trying to scratch the Nikon D700/Canon D5MkII full frame itch, without the full frame prices, which I find somewhat eyewatering even for gear well into its second decade...

So, stepped into Nikon territory after harvesting the hivemind here and some research of my own, and struck a deal on this thing here: For about €100. Not sure what sort of flash is is, or if it even working. The fellow stated "untested" in the ad, so I regard it as a write-off until further...

No worries, it was actually that and its 35 mm sibling that dropped me down the rabbit hole. A pair of them surfaced in the Pentax section of the local ad site, so I looked them over, thinking I should just check to see if they had a 24 mm sibling for that coverage equivalent of 35ish mm. Why...

The D60 in this case is somewhat unimportant, its a case of the fellow selling the camera, with a lens attached where the lens outstrip the body value and makes the offer worth considering. :drinks:

Not to sure what you mean by that... :hmmm: :hiding: :rofl: I have had a throughout browse and read up on some stuff, so I somewhat see a possible system, loosely founded upon the 35/50 f:1.8s, the 16-85, some sort of intermediate tele zoom, all in DX/VR where applicable versions exists, and...

Other than a several decades old cat silhouette, I haven't managed to get a proper cat shot until today. This one was sitting in the flower bed when I pulled into the driveway this morning, most likely to trigger my dog that normally has an overwatch position in the stairs and looking out a...

Nikon 300mm f/4 AF, this one here. It looks like you could use it to either photograph seals, or to club them, with it... :oops: And thanks for the info, fellows, this is pure gold! :care:

After having picked up a couple of Nikon 1s, a V1 and a J4, I am quite a bit fascinated by the output of those tiny rascals, but I dont find the files very mallable, quite the opposite, they break easily but even broken gives some pleasure in the results, so there is that. I have also heard...

Since that "big" Pentax deal fell through, I picked up some odd bits instead: By some odd coincident, there was both a Olympus Stylus 400, as well as a Underwater housing for it up in the classifieds, from two different sellers. The 400 comes along with a 256 Mb XD card. Being that the...

Somewhat interesting, stumbled over this again, and recalled that I actually have a 15 stop filter that came along with a Lee filter set I bought some years ago. Never used it, though.

A very golden hour...

Over here, as of late, the E-M1X is generally lower in price than the 1MkIII, and I still havent seen a OM-1 secondhand. I do like my 5MkIII, though. It would for the time being, stand in as second body for a pair of Olys, for the similar sensor look.

I probably would if I could, it is a tall stretch, to the tune of probably very well within reach of hitting a pair of MkIII for the price of one OM1. Possibly a 100 or two under for the IIIs, but sans the spread over time. Not that I need two as such, but after shooting dually with the G9 and...

Well, that was quicker than expected, packaging the G90 to night to ship it off to its new owner tomorrow. Now needing to source a nicely used E-M1MkIII or even perhaps strecthing it to an OM1, if one surfaces in the local classifieds for a somewhat reasonable amount...

If I would be seriously looking into current full-frames, the K1 would be very high on my list.

The deal, which was a long shot, didn't happen, unfortunately. Being a keen user of the Leash and the slide lite, I would have looked at the latter for the K3, if that is what you plan to use it on. I only use the leash on the system compacts with "kit" weight lenses, I find it unpleasant to...

As you wished for This is with just the auto button pushed in LR, to get some development on the raw output. Not something I would put in the family album, nor publish in normal circumstances.

A very snappy snapshot, run through Topaz Photo AI, not to a great effect, especially on the dog. Which is why I show it. AI is not the end of all wrong doings. :drinks:

Dahlia.

A bit bored yesterday, so thinking about dipping into the collection for some fun, and I am not sure if I ever actually shot with these two. The Lumix G5 and G6, decided that they are the flavour of the week (or so). The only sound thing to do was to match them up with the accompanying Vario-X...

Pollen and wasp...

Wood anemones

And to think that the garden was covered in 30 cm of snow 21 days ago...

Indeed, it is. Perhaps the bit that excites me most is the bag, I have a Crumpler in the same colour but that one is so humongous that I fail to see that I will use it for anything. It would be about as pricey just to get the two lenses I am keen on trying there, so the rest is just an added...

I do have some feelers out on an entire "job" lot, with a K20D, four decent lenses, the Pentax 16-45 f:4 and Sigmas 10-20, 17-70mm f:1:2.8-4.5 macro, the 70-300mm f:5.6 tele and a Crumpler bag fitting the entire set plus battery and charger. Asking price €200. I didnt even bother trying to...

After a bit of haggling, I scored this one: Sans the flash, with charger and two batteries for €120ish all in. 17,5K shutter actuations. It may or may not come with the pictured 18-55, depending if the seller finds a body cap or not. I would actually prefer it with the body cap over the...

Oh, another Enablerman! Salutations, fellow traveler :drinks: !

What blasphemy is this? :hmmm: :hiding:

I get where you`re at, I was somewhat rather tempted by a Pentax 645D that came along with a 55mm of some sort for about €1000 in the local classified a couple of weeks ago. That K-70 deal, though! Had it been available here for that price, I most likely would have caved.

Spring, finally!

Splendid set of wheels, this tread has passed me by. And by the name of it, I thought it was a boat, but it could probably be heaped into the "Vehicle of adventures" pile, so land ship would do. :drinks:

Its probably called that due to that you can note an extra 100 in expenses in your diary, price the only thing I have noted on the different GRIII models over the base model, along with the coloured ring thing... :tomato2:

One out the door, another one in... I have been waiting for a cheap LX5 to show up, and so it did this evening. A deal was struck and this one here is inbound: According to the seller it is well used, have some scratches but works as it should with no known faults. Not half bad for €37 inc...

Forlorn flowers

As far as I know, yes. The G9 is a cracker of a camera, the only thing I have to nag on about it, is size. If they had managed to shrink it 10% all around, I would have had two and not been bothered looking at anything else. (IOW about the size of the EM-1MkIII).
