Maybe no box BP but it does I see it has it's very own case :)

PS can't wait for the results

Pleased things are on the up again for you Dee {{{{Hug}}}}

I don't do gloom and doom - I'm a happy person, I am     

 

AND

 

I'm off to Fort William in October!

 

So there!

 

Korky

Ah! so you are waiting until all the midges are just about gone

Similar with my Tamron SP 70-300.

My Sony Alpha 580 and 290 now need the date resetting when switched on because the secondary batteries controlling that function have failed.

Seems photo equipment is just another electronic consumable. It is very annoying when compared to how long film camera equipment lasted.

I fear I do not have the state of mind to say "never mind".

Cheers

Jeff

Ah Jeff , the never mind does mean I can justify buying the new lens and the old one served me well, it has been used practically every day for the last 20 months, out in all weathers, humped & bumped everywhere, never been in a camera bag. I'm now using a 20yr old Tamron 28-200 that I had with my old eos100 which is making me appreciate how good the 18-270 was. I think I will take more care of the new one

I have a Canon fit Sigma 70-300 going cheap...

Thanks Leon, I have  a most needs covered that will do me for now but I will wait until I can get the 16-300, It's a lens I can use 99.9% of the time. I'm a lazy photographer and hate carrying a lot of clobber. 

Just received an estimate to fix my most favorite lens, Tamron 18 -270(older version)........ £239 it only cost £300 new.

So I will just save the £239 and put it towards the 16-300 Tamron I have been lusting after. One problem...will have to wait until November when a modest pension pot will open up 

Never Mind..................

Festcu, take no notice of these Gloom & Doom Merchants it's a wonderful place and only the female midge bites :)

No midges on the east coast

A worthy winner

That's the one

Hi Tina, Haven't posted much myself lately but pop in every day, missed you, glad you're back

Wonderful

Dee........I came back to your story, and blubbed again.

 

It's such a sad, yet happy story. So moving. You was obviously dearly loved by your adoptive family, and now you have your newly found family you are much loved all over again. 

 

Your birth mum was beautiful, she must have wondered and thought about you everyday for the rest of her life. 

 

Thank you for sharing this Dee...even if it has made me cry!

Like Annie I came back after all the same emotions, Very sad but a wonderful ending

I'm very very tempted to take a photograph of a..........Trouser Zip ;-)

FUJI

Same here Leon

Haven't posted much myself lately, just a few holiday pics on FB, nothing I can say I have been very excited about. Enjoy your weekend

The air ambulance passed overhead, thought it may have been a mountain bike accident until I turned on the news, really tragic, frankly I would need to be well out of the way if I were a spectator.
