Re: Oly 12-200 f3.5-6.3
For £800, I would have expected IS. At that point I could probably live with the other compromises. Lots of trolling on dpreview regarding this lens. I’m not sure what people expect of such a long...

Re: Age-Related Difficulties
Quick brain dump before bed...
Merely pushing 50.... I’ve been on blood pressure tablets for over a year now. They’re not that bad for most, so don’t worry. Just watch your balance. I had a...

Re: Resolution and Image Quality
Unknown Artist? I guess the the nationality may have been Dutch (or an admirer thereof)... I’m trying to remember where I first saw paintings of similar detail. The Prado, perhaps.

Re: Political: We're doomed, Captain Mannering...
Speaking of the Euro... A concern of mine is that if Britain decides to re-join the EU, a few years down the line, the EU will say “Well come and look at our lovely currency”. I can’t stress enough...

Re: Don McCullin
Just watched it. Great to see a man in his 80s at ease carrying around a large medium format film camera, or a couple of 5Ds. That also surprised me, bearing in mind he has at best been ambivalent...

Re: Political: We're doomed, Captain Mannering...
More arrogant than mendaciously promoting Brexit and then expecting someone else to work it out? I think I’ll take a little elitist arrogance over an act of economic terrorism, thank you very much.

Re: Political: We're doomed, Captain Mannering...
For once I find myself saying I agree with Donald. As I’ve written elsewhere today, Vote Leave screamed, shouted and deceived for the result they wanted and now expect the experts make it all work...

Re: Don McCullin

Re: Political: We're doomed, Captain Mannering...
Revolut give the live inter-bank rate. In other words, as cheap as you can get. Ended up buying a total of €1000 over the week. I’d like more $ but they’re stubbornly in the $1.31 ballpark (last...
