I think i got away with all 3 as it happens. As for winning the lottery, ha. <br />I also picked up a very lightweight tripod so i can take some night shots. For backpacking or day hiking its a lovely camera with interchangeable lenses. I have always been envious of numerous other bloggers images and i havn't been able to get close to the sharpness they achieve. I know its not all about the camera, but having a good lens helps especially when i forget settings easily. <br />I used it when in Spain over Christmas and i have been amazed at the difference over my old Sony HX9V. <br />I won the camera on ebay, just to make it clear that the lottery played no part.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-60207792821566612162019-01-29T08:40:29.562+00:002019-01-29T08:40:29.562+00:00AlanR - That looks a very interesting camera.

When I read that you bought a Nikon I thought you must have won the Lottery, but the price seems reasonable, no doubt boosted by the extra lens?Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-22175146655277864252019-01-28T16:54:25.151+00:002019-01-28T16:54:25.151+00:00I have bought a Nikon 1 J5 with 2 lenses, a 10-30m...I have bought a Nikon 1 J5 with 2 lenses, a 10-30mm and a 30- 110mm.

Lynne still uses an old Panasonic Lumix TZ27 which I think gives better results than the one I use, a Sony RX which is newer and, supposedly, a much better camera. Many of the photos on my blog are Lynne's and I think they are fine even allowing for Blogger's reduced resolution. <br /><br />I'm sure you've checked all your settings but for what it's worth my Sony has to be on the 'Fine' setting to get the best results. <br /><br />I never use macro - I hold the camera close - then crop. With 20mp it works OK. <br /><br />afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-72884942293147612412019-01-27T00:13:01.825+00:002019-01-27T00:13:01.825+00:00AlanR - As I've said before I only want to sen...AlanR - As I've said before I only want to send you ones that SEEM TO ME unusual, but at that distance and state of camouflage I couldn't tell with the yellow one.<br /><br />-------------------Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-34554287506636611722019-01-26T20:58:24.476+00:002019-01-26T20:58:24.476+00:00Hi Conrad.

Lots of these around and built between 1971 and 1980. The blue one is a belter. A Leyland County 4 wheel drive. A well respected tractor and they are quite rare and the 4 wheel drive system is quite iconic. They still command good money.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.com
