I bought it principally for photographing books, and have been very bad about sitting down and working out all the things the camera would enable me to do. I did take it to Olympia with me and it did quite a good job there. I have mixed feelings about extra lenses: on the one hand I envy the ability to photograph stuff I can't, but on the other, I'd hate to have to lug it all about!<br /><br />Anon - thought I'd put a link to the website but it sounds like I haven't! As you say, it's certainly worth looking at.Jane Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628233623713926723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782167599693788794.post-49304318412094096192011-05-31T21:29:32.559+01:002011-05-31T21:29:32.559+01:00Me again!

(Curious to know what kind of camera you use. I just have a little digital camera with built-in zoom, but am increasingly jealous of digital cameras with interchangeable lenses.)<br /><br />thanks for sharing.Christina Wilsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02472802098557216513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782167599693788794.post-75371661290075312212011-05-31T09:15:59.376+01:002011-05-31T09:15:59.376+01:00CCC, they were fabulous.

It was so good to see those wonderful fiery horses and not just another Sport Horse. We were very impressed by the rider sitting pillion.
