I have read some of the start-up posts of your blog so am aware of some of the limitations under which you are living. I thing what you are achieving is amazing in the circumstances.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-78432668203267871082012-08-04T11:58:48.783+01:002012-08-04T11:58:48.783+01:00Liz,

I call my zoom lens "the stalker".<br />I myself, have a DSLR with the standard kit lenses (18-55mm & 55-250mm) and the "nifty 50mm" lens. That for me is fine to carry around and not too heavy. I have traveled with it (only interstate) since I bought it last August. In saying that, I would LOVE to own a lens that allows me the range I have (or more) all in one lens but cost is an issue. I love my DSLR!! I did have a little Canon point & shoot until then but It didn't have the zoom your bridge camera has. <br />I guess the day will come when I have to downsize to a bridge camera as I have a chronic genetic arthritic condition, nerve conditions and a hand tremor (which can be more bothersome some days than others).Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17541748309832254889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-25870269647932101392012-08-04T00:23:33.612+01:002012-08-04T00:23:33.612+01:00Thank you Virginia.

But yes you are absolutely correct. It's all a question of priorities and for those of us not using your sort of equipment who regard ourselves as fairly serious photographers there will always be a dilemma. Deep down I will always want a 'proper' camera even though I know the bridge camera is far more suitable for my needs at the moment.<br /><br />Harking back to film I loved Kodachrome although I did flirt with Fuji for a while. I did try Ilford - once! A friend of our parents with whom we went on holiday for some years swore by Agfa transparency film in his Rolleiflex TLR.<br /><br />As for your blog I am genuinely interested to see what transpires.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-73009171845447758152012-08-04T00:01:25.094+01:002012-08-04T00:01:25.094+01:00You got me there Frances.
