Testing what may be my new camera once my back is sufficiently recovered to carry a backpack again, hopefully in the new year. As you would expect, I’ve carried out a rigorous, highly scientific test:
1. Can I carry it? Yes, all the way to the garden, no problem at all.
2. Does it fit in my pack? Probably. It’s around here somewhere.
3. Will it focus close enough to photograph a small pile of frosty leaves? Yes.
4. Are said leaves sharp? I should say so.
5. Will it photograph other stuff? I don’t see why not.
6. Have I comprehensively compared it to other cameras? Not really. I like this one.
7. Was it an impulse Black Friday buy? Maybe. I don’t see what that’s got to do with it.
8. Have you told the wife? No need. She can’t tell it apart from the old one.
9. So that’s that then? Yep. Proper job.

Norfolk Southern's track geometry train crosses the Portage River in Oak Harbor, OH, on the Toledo District. Quite an appropriate random catch, as I was heading back from researching some shots around Sandusky earlier in the morning.

is this thing on?
The gleaners at ReclaimIt! picked an Polaroid 600 AF camera out of the dump transfer station.
It included a loaded pack of old Polaroid film, the vintage stuff.
Anyway, I checked it out, batteries dead in the film pack, so I loaded a fresh fresh pack and tested it out. While there is some cosmetic damage, it works quite well.
Once I finish with the current pack I'll suggest a bargain price of $25.
And I hope to use the old film by loading it in a used cassette with still good batteries.
The subject here is a Mugo Pine forest bonsai on a rock slab. Planted earlier this year.
Testing and loving looks synonymous now, at least to me.

I just received by mail a preowned Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM (huh!) objective and wanted to take some test shots (in spite of the slippery street). Everything seems to be OK.
This is a crop (ca. 1/6 of the original frame).
