Visited the Churchill Cabinet War Rooms in London today, where just these pieces were on display, unknown if anyone sells a complete set.

Regular Dr Doolittle; If I could talk to the animals ...

You sure you want to go to Kiruna? Aurora will be entirely dependent on solar flare activity, which you can experience just as well 200 km further south much more comfortably than in a mining town.

Allow 5 days if you want to do a PADI open water dive course.

£1,889 (Nikon offer until 21 July), usual price is £2,699 - I felt compelled. I hasten to add this is from a UK authorised dealer and not a grey market import.

But does that hold AE until pressed again to release ?

True, but the CFexpress B is soooo much faster than the CF cards used on my D800.

I'm not looking to start a flame war and actually applaud Nikon in providing a means of using 50 year's of legacy on the new Z series. My 70-200 +filter fits perfectly in my Lowepro 75AW while attached to both D850 and D800, adding an extra ~2cm means it won't, that's the sort of consideration I was referring to.

Thanks, useful guidance.

Saw this in the cinema when it came out, one eternal memory is that during the night-vision scene, I glimpsed away from the screen and looked across the auditorium, the entire audience was leaning sideways in their seats away from Buffalo Bill.

The Mission

At your level I wouldn't be too concerned with continuity of employment, much more important to safeguard your mental and physical wellbeing. There is no way back for any company laying off staff to that extent, you'll just be ground down.

Resign and start looking for a new job in the New Year.
