All this talk of nastiness... It was as much everyone's response to Tom as it was him.
Thats it for me.
Thank you Pete, Rob, Tom Dunne, Julian and Ivar amongst many, for all your advice and assistance on the forum. I have 'met' some truly wonderful people but this is a bridge too far for me...
Martin that has to be the best description of this site that I have ever seen.
I would only add that for the less-gifted but well intentioned, i.e. me, this site has taught me so much.
I can feel a Morningside coming on......
' Bairns are what we keep our cows in...'
( I'll get my coat)
Nice photo by the way, wait till Rhona gets snapping with her birthday pressie!
Happy Birthday Rhona!
I bet your Dad has a bottle of glue he could let you have at a small discount! (Shame on you Rob for taking it out of the box).:D
Just when you thought you had seen everything along comes 'Airfix meets Kodak'.
Fantastic and so original.

Those so called budget XC lenses are astonishing and especially so when that kind Mr Fuji gives one for free!
Bless you Tom for your gracious thoughts and comments. There is absolutely no need to apologise, I am in a funny way delighted that the lad was able to decide that what he was reading was wrong and, importantly, had the confidence to show it to Mum for her thoughts. Not quite the test of...

Guilty as charged McM'Lud!
But my excuse is I am an easily led eejit.
(Delighted you like that X-T1, it is a cracker. Any thoughts on the ugly duckling X-A1? I have the X-E1 and am mighty impressed with its IQ.)
Spot on Sir.
May I add number 8?

No Rob I don't think it is but if my 11 year old had sufficient nounce to realise that something was wrong and had the good sense to show it to his Mum for her opinion then it may be a turn off for some who have a peek and then quickly decide that the forum is not quite what they thought it...
Having just returned from an extended tour around Europe I was really looking forward to logging on and catching up on all I had missed as WiFi was at best problematic.
Or I was until my 11 year old Grandson, who has recently taken up photography and who I encouraged to look in on the forum to...
Ich auch bitte.
In German as we are down in sunny Bavaria on the shores of Lake Chiemsee ready to travel the German Alpine Road to Fussen.
Tchussssssssssssssss.
Lovely set Ivar.
