Understood, Harry, have fun! Can't wait to see what you get next.

My next birthday i will be 89 and move a bit slow and have not much interest sitting at a computer typing etc. Too many things still to do and photograph.

Serge - I think I prefer it in B&W, it's a different pic though. I prefer the clouds in the colour version, but hey, we can't control the sky.
James - there's a similar bridge in Australia, same problem. They eventually built another bridge right next to it to take traffic from the other direction. It solved the problem but it's so ugly having 2 bridges in different styles from different eras right up against each other.
Scott - thank you. Yes, it's a lot of light, not comfortable with it at all, but it's white travertine, what can I do. Love the waterscape , I don't know why you say the "ben effect", to me it looks like a normal pic, albeit well composed and taken at dusk (or dawn?) so there's a nice calming light, as George says.
George, George, George.....that thing is huge! Yeah, I'd need therapy after lugging that around, physiotherapy. Maybe I should be thinking about a 50R with say, the GF 50mm f3.5 at most. Even the tripod looks big. I really admire people who have the dedication to cart all of that around.

Attempting the "Ben-effect" technique. Not in the same league as Ben's nice work. Taken with the 55 f3.5 Ai. Thanks for looking.

Scott, wonderful! The light peaking through the cloud layer and concentrating in the water is very reassuring. Just the right number of photons in this one

I do like the others Samy. Here is one shot today with the 40mm/4

The combo is quite the beast. As shown with it adapted on the Fuji. Using a tripod is recommended.

Beautiful rig, with beautiful results. I love how the bridge draws you into the woods. The tones are great and I suspect you threw some light on to the bridge in post, but I may be wrong.
James - 29 years ago, that's amazing, I'm feeling nostalgic and I've never even been to Lake Michigan. ha ha no, it's not a hearse. Some people obviously feel they need a whole mini-van to themselves just to get around Rome.
Jay - I think you might have had to gird your loins and get closer to the edge for that 3rd pic.
Leighton - the testing phase? the XS-10 is hardly different from any of the Fujis, where's your parrot pic?
Philippe - love it. Dark and suspenseful. I've tried to take that pic but it never works - the passerby blocks the view, the light's wrong, it's always something. Speaking of light - that light in the top right corner is strange. It's daylight isn't it?

It's a little different. I didn't have IBIS before and the viewfinder is smaller. There are some other things in the UI to get used too, but I don't think they're going to be a deal breaker. The small size and better grip makes up for a lot of that.
