Sunstars are not to every photographers taste. Me? I like em, even quite wide spikes such as this one.

Nothing wrong with that. Quite arty.

Brighton, Wednesday afternoon. Beautiful dark clouds with sun filtering through.

Cheers, the light was very special. And it's straight out of camera except for a little cropping.

Thanks. And jpeg straight from the camera. Fuji jpegs really are special imo.

Anyone into buying vintage lenses? I have a few from back when I started out in the 80's and since taking photography up again in Covid, I have gained a couple more. I bought a Pentax 135mm 3.5 last week and the way it resolves bokeh is just stunning. That's wide open and appreciably softer than a stop or two down, but I am a sucker for it.
The lens only cost £20 on ebay.

That would be really good for butterflies or similar.

Yes!
I hope so too. I am also looking for a longer focal length macro lens, mine is 60mm (on mirrorless so 90mm equivalence on the smaller sensor). I want a 100mm Pentax or Pantax Takumar as I have adapters for these and love the styling as well. I enjoy the nostalgia associated with older lenses. A longer focal length would be very helpful as I consistently scare insects away with the shorter lens.

Anyone got any experience of Clock Tower Cameras? They have a second hand item I am interested in.
Actually, never mind, I misread the item.

A pic with my new bottom of the range Cannon. I haven't broken it yet. But I need to work on the sharpness.

They certainly are …I love Fuji colours….down to one camera at present (apart from the one on a mobile) with some nisi filters and it’s a Fuji x100
