I've taken a week off work to get some things done, I have quite a few photography related projects on the go at the moment that all seem to need attention at once - I guess people want to get them started when they first think of them - understandable but kind of overwhelming. I also don't seem to be able to refuse something that sounds interesting... from a couple of weeks ago and a lunchtime walk to the arden at the back of the museum. I love this lens - super takumar 1.4 8 element lens
