I am looking forward to the end of the month when I will be taking a trip to North Wales, Conwy, Bodnant and Ness gardens, on the Wirral.

Hoping to try out my video stills.

Micro Nikkor 55mm f2.8 will be my main lens.

I saw a Micro Nikkor 105mm f2.8 MF today in Lancaster in a local friendly camera store, £250? in very good condition, good price I think.

I also say to my horror a very clean D200 in Wilkinsons for £270. Good job I didn't have £250 in my pocket, else the D200 would have been coming home with me.

Yes, not exactly sure of our plans but Bodnant and Conwy during the last week in May, probably Ness one day too, I visit Ness regularly. Have a friend at Queensferry, also did a lot of work there about three or four years ago.


Will be online and staying at Prestatyn in a caravan by the sea.

Perhaps we can meet up?
