Thanks. Even if I do lousy work, at least I'll look good doing it!

I just noticed Bill Cunningham wore his with only the top button buttoned, just as I usually do...

I always wear one at work. Very practical, and saves on laundry...

The Pentax 500mm F4.5, but now I have to buy a tripod head because my is not built for support a lens that heavy.

Your best bet is a gimbal, but a pan/tilt head for heavy video cams might work.

Just bought a Lomography Spinner 360° camera on line from Cash Converters - cost £16 including postage, still in its original packaging, hopefully it'll be OK when I get it. I might actually splurge on a roll of film and development for this one, I've always liked panoramic cameras and this one looks like it could give some interesting results.

Spinner 360° · Lomography Shop

Received this, it's actually a very solidly built piece of (plastic) kit. The box is enormous for some reason, much bigger than the camera. I'm checking out development and printing now, it looks like the easy answer is to get the negative processed as a single long roll, not cut up, then use a flatbed scanner with a large slide copying area, and get prints made from the scans. Unfortunately I haven't used film since the mid-nineties and the scanner I had then died a few years later and was replaced by a specialist book scanner with no slide/negative copying features. But I have enough friends into photography that someone should be able to help.

A replacement for my crooked mounted copy The extremely compact Vivitar 70-150mm 1:3.8

My old copy:

If anybody is interested, the seller has another one for sale: https://www.ebay.nl/itm/Vivitar-70-150mm-F3-8-Close-Focusing-Auto-Zoom-Penta...sAAOSwyc5di4Vv
On closer inspection that is the lens I got.... I bought another one but got this one. The one he still has: https://www.ebay.nl/itm/Vivitar-70-150mm-F3-8-Close-Focusing-Auto-Zoom-Penta...53.m2749.l2649

Another one on ebay even cheaper. https://www.ebay.nl/itm/Vivitar-70-150mm-F3-8-Close-Focusing-Auto-Zoom-Penta...53.m1438.l2649

Today's charity shop find - a Praktica LB2 body (one I haven't come across before, it has a selenium non-TTL meter) with Helios 44-2 lens for £15. Neither is immaculate, but I ought to get my money back or better and it's a good cause.

And as if by magic I picked up another LB2 in Portobello Road today - but this one is in better condition and has a Pentacon Electric 50/1.8, so I didn't begrudge paying £20 for it.

I can get you a whole overall set if you like ... I have one for garden work when it gets dirtier and cooler.

Some call them "les Bleues" ... https://lemontsaintmichel.fr/fr/veste-de-travail-80

You can get one much cheaper at a labor-professional clothing store ... this above is just a bit "uppity" ....
