Good on you Marc. Can't be easy to give up something that so many of us take for granted. And lots of respect for doing it now instead of waiting for something to push you. I had a motorbike accident in 1986 caused by a drunk driver and it's totally changed my life since then even though I'm...

Brilliant, thank you all for your replies, very helpful! I'll have a good look when I get a better signal.

I know nothing about cctv, and know I could Google but what sort of money do you pay for a basic cctv system, say 2 or 3 cameras installed and set up (or is that easy)

I totally understand. I vaguely looked at the Tamron a while back but think I was put off by it's max aperture and a used fuji 75-300 that was calling my name, although it was a while ago.

No, but I (and @Nod )have the fuji 18-135 which is a remarkably decent lens if it's long enough for your needs. Obviously not as sharp as a prime, but a lot easier than a bag full of primes! I'd certainly be interested in hearing what replies you get to this question.

Chris Jones, no sanctuary here A well recorded track which is giving my 15" Tannoy's something to do! View: https://youtu.be/6z11VNEgVl4?si=zlhR1QmeNDFAGXGB Followed by Lamb, wise enough View: https://youtu.be/F4JrYpRxIMs?si=9U8bIerimIglh0UQ And get before was this, which is a bit of...

I've just been watching this rather enthusiastic review, will take a look at yours, thanks! View: https://youtu.be/YBetKSHYKyw?si=rvqXBFmmz9i--Ggk

So how does the X-T50 compare to the X-T5...? Anyone know anything yet?

The idea of helping people 'see' light is a fantastic one - so many of us look at a subject rather than the light that hits it. I think it's a fantastic suggestion Garry. I have no lights, but at times try to use a window and a piece of card/sheet to control the light and shadows. So while this...

I knew, I remember seeing that picture before! I was hinting that you might be pretending to be from a younger generation than me...... (which you probably are);)

Go on, treat yourself and him too. You'll get such a buzz being out with him and his proper camera and as @Mr Perceptive says, he'll feel like a real big fella. It'll stay with both of you forever, and what a perfect excuse for you too.

My first bike a BSA Bantam which I got when I was 7 came with a set of feeler guages and a few rusty tools in a very rusty little tool box which I still have. I felt so grown up. That was 58 years ago..

Sadly I got it.. I'm guessing you are pretending not to have :cool:

How awfully sad. Chris was so much a part of TP, and brought so much fun to the place. Like so many others here I'll miss him lots.

I saw him playing with Eric Clapton on his last tour, didn't know he was going to be there and he was excellent, as was the entire gig. I'm not a big fan of the typical pension boosting tours as I fear the musicians will be just going through the moves, but this was far from that. I'm not sure...
