Be careful what you wish for!
Autumn wishlist may be challenging.

I don't think we are far short of a full house here now, you have done a sterling job Chris.  I think a little tweak here and there is about all that's left.

One possibility which might just be a valuable resource for members and the wider community is a list of links to photographic websites, there are many valuable websites like Roland Vink's lens database which contains priceless information and data, Birna R¸rslett's lens assessment lists and all sorts of other sites large and small where snippets of info can be found.

Some little annex on this site, not like a thread, or a topic but a searchable list of websites, more like bookmarks but including a little note about what the bookmark will lead to.  My photography website bookmarks must amount to hundreds of websites and I am only scratching the surface.

One of my worries (not that my current idea addresses this) is that these websites contain priceless collections of information.  The chances of anyone else compiling this info is remote.  If  a site closes, for whatever reason, that data which has taken years of significant effort to accumulate, will be lost.

Chris has just done another improvement, when we reply to a post, the post we are replying to is now in view below the posting window which can be very helpful when replying to technical questions.  Thanks Chris (bet).

Chris Hamer has been with us for years, from school/college university.


Since 2006 if memory serves me correctly.

When I, in a moment of teenage madness thought it'd make *MUCH* more sense to ask for a used D1 for my birthday from Kingsley Photographic on Tottenham Court Road rather than a new D50 / D70.

In hindsight it was, but boy oh boy did I need you lot to help me get results out of it! Turned out to be a much better camera than any of the consumer ones though, and the transition to the D300 which I then bought in 2008 was much easier having had to learn things the hard way haha.

The D1 and D1X were very good cameras.  I still have a D1X in my camera cupboard.

Absolutely, and they made for decent weapons if required due to the phenomenal build quality.

I regret selling my D1, but it financed more lenses, so was probably the right choice.
