Dave Hi!
Great to hear from you - I'm sorry we'll pass like ships in the night - we're off home again on Saturday - guinea pig sitting sounds very exciting - I hope they have a good store of them, as I doubt they withstand sitting for too long. . . . . .Emma wants wildlife pictures of guinea pigs please!
I got a lizard shot the day before yesterday, and Emma saw a grass snake on the fen just before we left.
The 50-135 seems to be a very reliable and popular lens - I went for the 60-250 f4 instead, and that's good as well. Don't know the 12-24, but it does have good press.
The beach shots are at Pedn Vounder (Logan's rock) There's something really exquisite having a beach like that to oneself.
My retirement retires further and further into the future every month - I'm aiming at June 2021, but I doubt I'll manage it!
All the very very best
Hi Jono, I'm down at the Lizard guinea pig sitting for a few days next week, hope we get good weather. First time to Cornwall this year.
Devon has been good and I saw grass snake, adder and several lizards basking in the middle of March.
This Pentax thing is starting to attract me as retirement looms (I'm actually almost retired now as far as commercial work goes). I only have a D700 and a 24-120 left, for portraits, plus flashguns and controller. I got a GH2 thinking I'd have a go at video but have changed my mind. So I may shift that lot for a Pentax and a couple of lenses, currently thinking 12-24 f4 and 50-135 f2.8. The small primes are also attractive. The standard zoom your using seems pretty good too.
Where in Cornwall were the beach shots? Presume North or South of Brane
Best wishes
