Just a test press to check the stamper for that particular side of the 45 surely , I would think that would be a not particularly unusual event at a metal mastering plant.

That's a badly handcut label , probably stuck on the Outta Site boot for some silly vanity thing. Zoom in on the cutout round the centre.

Was quietly minding my own business cooking my tea when I spotted this one casually walking towards the kitchen window ... 🥰 Luckily the 100mm Laowa macro was on the 550D after I'd been messing about with the 90D earlier , I bought it for getting close up and personal with tiny creepy-crawlies but it makes a fine portrait lens too ... There are some benefits of single glazing after all , shot from 3 feet ... And people keep asking me why I don't move into town to be nearer civilisation ...

It's only a camera , how hard could it be ...

Came with no manual , I've just got a 400 odd page PDF to wade through ...

Just grabbed the 45 for £11.50 on fleabay , my first online auction bid and win ... All about £40 on Discogs and the other three on the bay are 25/44/45 .

Just took delivery of the 'new' Canon EOS 90D ... and now the whole new learning cycle begins ...

"Harder You Love" is on YT .

I nearly forgot this little fella I spotted today ... a new one on me. Turns out its a"Scorpion Fly" or Panorpa communis ...

Well I guess Mr Buteo was feeling a little left out so he gave me a show today ... And an airliner bisecting the blue just because ...

There are some great bargains out there at the moment as all the hipsters are jumping over to mirrorless , MPB , WEX and Park Cameras have had their fair share off me of late , and having used SLRs and now DSLRs for 44 years I shall see my days out on them ...

Hi Kegsy , Sorry I forgot to add the details ... yes it was with the Sigma 150-600 C @ 600mm and the EOS 2000D. Have just this minute grabbed a pre-loved EOS 90D bargain to accompany the lens in future , traded in the Sigma teleconverters for it in PartEx as they were an unnecessary step to be honest , but you have to try these things ... I'll use the 2000D with the Laowa 100mm F/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO now as a permanent macro set up.

I had "that" feeling that I was being spied on as I packed away the solar imaging rig today ... Lo and behold I caught this one keeping a beady eye on proceedings ...

If you liked "Sisu" then you'll probably like another new one in a similar vein ... "Blood & Gold" ... Been available for a while but only recently popped up dubbed in English .

This one slipped by me unnoticed ... thanks for the post , just started S1 ... pretty much "Kitchen Confidential" and a pretty realistic interpretation of life backstage of a restaurant ...

Tried again tonight , but to be honest the theme tune's the best bit , gave up after 15 minutes. Thoroughly unimpressed and disappointed ...

Shane Meadow's latest offering "The Gallows Pole" started tonight on BBC 2 , looks a good'un ... And it's got a cracking theme tune too ...

"Steeltown Murders" on BBC iPlayer is well put together.

Mick L is your man for this .... @Hooker1951

A brief , late , and somewhat distant glimpse of one of Duxford's finest ... Must get myself in that back seat very soon ...

Plenty of TC-2475s on Discogs.

Had my breakfast interrupted today by a couple of F-15s , a KC-135 Stratotanker and a Herc from RAFs Lakenheath and Mildenhall doing numerous circuits over the house ... So down went the toast and out came the 150-600 ... Link here to the whole album on Flickr ..... https://www.flickr.com/photos/76292235@N05/albums/72177720308645526 And a few tasters ...

Only teasing mate , we all love a bargain ...

That's cos you've never had any ... 🥰

And if either of you had a copy , that you'd picked up for £30 back in nineteen oatcake , you'd be waving it about with glee and spinning it , so stop being such a pair of moaning Minnies ...
