Phate, off topic is the top of your desk kitchen worktop if so do you have a link please?

Nope, its a desk desk. Here is the link https://www.conforama.pt/secretaria-schema

Although I suspect that is somewhat useless as its only available in PT and Spain

- if it helps, the desk is 180cm x 69cm. It makes a very nice size.

Are there any photo exhibitions in the UK that are on throughout the year?

Not an art exhibition, I meant like a weekend event selling everything you need for photography?

Like the Photography Show?

No, it's just local shops or online if you want to check out gear I am afraid.

What are you thinking of buying or trying out?

Ah that's a shame, I was hoping I could attend somewhere like you get at a computer fair and walk around all the stalls.

I guess why Photokina is so big!

You'll have to wait until March next year for the Photography Show now.

New Macbook Pro 13", i7, 16G RAM, 512 SSD.

The keyboard cover actually makes it nicer to type on!

Ordered another lens today, will be here tomorrow

Raymond do you edit on the 13” screen?

No, I do my edit on a 27" iMac.

My 13" MBP are purely for my holiday photos edits, so not so colour critical.

Ah I did wonder. I use a calibrated Acer X34A when at home and travel with a 13” laptop. I loaded some shots on to that while I was away and thought I’ll just wait until I get home.

I have an X-rite i1 for the iMac at home.
