Methodist minister, scout leader, analogue photography wannabe. Occasional zine maker. Proud founder-member of the Photozine Collective.
I've had my fill of arguing with strangers on the internet so I'm keeping this space conflict free.
I'll do that!

The Nikon I think. Actually, I didn't do much photography on this trip. I got a bit caught up in it! I'm willing to talk about Rwanda (more or less) anytime, anywhere to anyone who'll listen. Getting me started is easy. Getting me to shut up can be a challenge!

Amazing! I wouldn't want to minimize the issues and challenges being faced, but the recovery post-genocide is a modern miracle

I can't really claim to be old skool. More of an old school wannabe.

It's a bit of nonsense really, but I'm having fun with it. The serious point, if I'm allowed one, is that genuinely useful stuff can be done on these little computers that cost practically nothing.

I assumed that "Half frame storirs" was some cool niche thing I hadn't heard of yet!

Not much a/c here in the UK and our houses are built for the cold not the heat. We're not equipped for 30+C. My bedroom was 29C went I went up last night.

I'll have a word, but I can't make any promises 😁

I certainly wasn't built for these temperatures
July 12, 2025 at 3:01 PM
I've been wandering around the house taking what will probably turn out to be really bad photos with it. For now, the meter pretty well agrees with the one on my phone, but if it ever gives up at least the camera will still work

Being able to finish a roll might be optimistic

... a Pi Zero running without GUI, holding my to-do list, calendar, notebook and journal (all plain text). It's running a script to see how long the power packs last and how hot the CPU gets

Update: In the end, I went for a Pen D from the UK. The price only had 2 numbers before the decimal point, so it doesn't really count 😀

There's no arguing with that.

I'm grateful for all the replies. I haven't reached a decision yet - there's no need to be hasty - but I'm leaning in the direction of a Pen in some form atm. The Pentax does look nice, though! If money were no object I'd get both. But I'm afraid it is.
