At the time they were great but things have moved on. I do wonder if the latest iterations of Nikon Z cameras will have followed Sony’s lead and upped their game in the focusing stakes. Jonathan was telling me the latest Fuji cameras have the same sort of focus speed plus viewfinder blackout control like the Sony A1. So it does seem as the A1 set the bar high and others are now having to match it. That said I was looking at some of my old D3 images recently and although they didn’t have the bitingly sharp detail when enlarged, somehow when I am not pixel peeping and just ‘look at the full composition’, they are still extremely good images standing the test of time.

Geoff the local TV Aerial man removed our old damaged aerial no longer needed apart from much used by the birds. He also kindly removed the results of 12 years bird droppings from our Sola Panels so perhaps we will get a few more volts! Click here to comment on this image.

I have to agree with the Sony lens I have four and even the cheapest one is sharp also there are not many zoom lenses in the 200-600 range you can put on a body and get sharp images at 600mm wide open.

Ian when I go back on D850 bird photos with top-range £6000 f4 Nikon lens it makes our Sony 200-600 look amazing I just can not find fault with it apart from bit heavy to handhold for too long at 82 yrs!!!

Speaking to guys using the Z9 they are saying that even it misses focus on too many shots for their liking.

We ‘had’ a solar pump that produced a small fountain. Sadly the solar panel died and we have been considering replacements or alternatives for a while. Not all alternatives have been worthy of further consideration. The search continues.  Click here to comment on this image. No….I have no idea what it was doing.

Depends what voltage the pump is - small 12v solar panels are available for around £15
