nice!

Thank you, sir.
Still waiting for some photos of the farming community . . . I think a lot of us would be very interested.

Has anyone else found it's getting increasingly difficult and frustrating to do anything involving a bank online? Anyway, my space for posting allotment is used up, and I'm having trouble paying for more. I don't have much patience for the banks or PayPal at the moment, so I'm not sure how I'm going to proceed. If anyone is interested in seeing other photos taken yesterday with the Tokina zoom, please visit my Flickr account:

Link directly to pics posted on eg flickr or on a server or even dropbox Andrew. Just write the bbcode in like this:

[img]http://www....url/img.jpg[/img]

The bbcode tag is in the square brackets, the forum will parse the link and import the pic.
Or you can simply click on the "insert pic" icon (7th from left) and write in or copy and paste the relevant url.

I've only ever posted photos here as links to photos I have on some hosting site or another. Not running into any limit doing that.

Thanks, Marcus.
I have no objection to contributing $20 a year to post on the forums. It's just that I have to find a better way to make the donation. It seems the banks are trying to increase their bottom line by downsizing service and having the customer do more work. I don't give them business so they can give me frustration.

For individual online payments I almost exclusively use Paypal, which I have set up to charge my credit card, but I don't know if you can use Paypal from where you are.

I have a specific bank account tied to PayPal - I don't use that account for anything else, so if there's a problem with PP, it doesn't tie up my day-to-day accounts...

Taking the stack of primes for a walk in the woods. This old favorite lens never disappoints.

KIT: Pentax K-1 with Pentax-A 35-105mm f 3.5.

Took my recently acquired Tokina ATX 80-200mm f2.8 classic "pro" zoom around Conwy. These are difficult to find in PKA mount.
