    Show - Shots in 65:24 / XPAN Aspect Ratio

    Thanks John, top tip! I had deleted PS Express as I rarely used it, but it looks a bit slicker now, so I may experiment more.

    My word, but cropping to these dimensions in LR Mobile is a tedious process of trial and error!

    I've just sold my Sony a6000 with 16-50 lens, for slightly more than I paid for them. It seems secondhand prices are continuing to climb.

    Nikon Showcase Nikon z50 image thread

    First shots, just goofing around in the garden. I'm impressed with the sharpness of this little lens.

    I once ate at a restaurant in Little Italy, NYC, at a table near to that exact group of people. All very smartly dressed and much fawned over by the staff.

    What books are you reading for pleasure these days?

    Recently I started "Kafka on the Shore" by Haruki Murakami - entertaining and surreal so far, I think I'll enjoy this one. I gave up on "Demon Copperhead" by Barbara Kingsolver. It's a retelling of David Copperfield, set in the modern day Appalachians. Undeniably clever, it was just a bit of a...

    I've gone ahead and ordered a Nikon Z50, with a 16-50 kit lens and the 12-28 as well. They can battle it out!

    Single In Single in April (AiS) 2024 - announcement

    I'm in. Definitely the z50 (assuming it does arrive this week as promised), and currently thinking it'll be the 12-28 zoom lens.

    That sounds like my experience witk a K-5 a while back. I think I'm just not happy with large/heavy cameras any more.

    GAS GEAR: Please Share your Latest Disposals Big and Small

    Yeah, I've considered the Sony and Fuji offerings but the Z50 seems very appealing. At the moment I'm thinking about getting both the 12-28 and the 16-50. I know there is a bit of an overlap but I love wide angle lenses for landscape and architecture, whereas the 16-50 seems like a handy general...

    I think I'm circling round to pick a Z50. There is plenty of choice and the lenses are quite reasonably priced too.

    GAS GEAR: Please Share your Latest Disposals Big and Small

    Well, it just shows that long-term cravings are not necessarily a good guide. The Leica Q produced very sharp images, but not really that much better to my eyes than I have had from APS-C or even M43 cameras with decent lenses. The EVF was big and clear but a bit over-contrasty and saturated...

    I had a stroke last night

    My immunotherapy drug has a list price in the US of $15,000 per dose. I believe the NHS pays more like £5,000. I, of course, have to pay nothing for it. Thank you, Nye Bevan!

    And here is the Q kitted out with the half case and thumb rest. First impressions very good. I'm getting to grips with the user profiles which I think are the way to customise it nicely.

    So...I did a thing today! I've ordered a Leica Q from MPB. I've craved one since they were announced...and a few weeks ago I found out that I have stomach cancer, and not bad indigestion after all. I've just started on my chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and all the indications are hopeful. But...

    Leica No More Leica CL

    I've been reading a lot about the CL recently. I can feel a probably ill-advised amount of spending happening soon. Tbh, 6 years support from Leica will do for me.

    You could give Brave a try. It's another Chromium based browser but it is excellent for blocking ads and trackers. I've been using it as my main browser on my Android devices for about a year with no major issues. Occasionaly it throws a small wobbler and needs to be restarted but apart from...

    The End of “Mirrorless”

    I quite like the term Compact System Camera or CSC. That is used by some large dealers and a few journalists, but it never really replaced 'mirrorless' overall.

    There is still an arboretum, which I didn't get round to visiting this week. I have been there in the past, when the trees were really still quite small. There is a much more established arboretum nearby in the village of Swettenham which was created in the 50s by Bernard Lovell (the man behind...

    Documentary Jodrell Bank Radio Telescope

    The famous radio telescope dish of Jodrell Bank has been a landmark of the Cheshire countryside for 67 years. I last visited it about 28 years ago, since when a lot of money has been spent on the 'discovery centre' which explains the history of the dish and what it is used for. But the chief...
