Regarding lenses, I see all the usual suspects mentioned all the time, camera specific, as well as Sigma, tameron etc, but I rarely see "Vivitar" talked about, and very few ad's for them either. Their cost seems very reasonable compared with the other makes available, so I was wondering if any of you own/use, or have any experience with them, or if they are any good? Thanks in advance,
Ray.

This one was taken last night, after a major storm moved through. Leica Q2 again, Auto WB, and an accurate rendition of the colours I saw.
Beautiful shot, and the colors are perfect!

As a Brit happily living in California, (16 years now), I just wanted to say happy independence day! I for one am glad it turned out the way it did, and produced the nation that it has become. Congratulations and happy birthday! All the best for now and for the future,
Ray.

I don't know what drives others in the decision making process, but for me it really comes down to, price, (value for money), capabilities, (features /functions), available accessories, (lenses etc), future proofing, (software/firmware updates), and customer service. Ease of use is a big concideration for me, so I tend to stay with what I've become comfortable with, (Canon in my case), because most of the buttons and controls are easy for me to find across the range, but I'm sure that applies to all makers. So that's just my 2 cents worth, and I guess that is just my opinion on "the big 4 or so!
All the best, and have a great 4th!

Looks wonderful, (I've lost your address, and what time should I be there)? Lol
Happy 4th!

I believe it's called "a happy hour"!

Lovely set, and I agree with your stained glass observations.

Beautiful set of images, and kudos to you for being so considerate of the families that were there, (if only there were a few more like yourself).

Beautiful detailed shots Timothy! That's a Douglas squirrel, the only one of the squirrels I really like.
Main food is conifer seeds. They snip off the cones and let them fall before the seeds are ripe and then extract and stash them. At my cabin I hear the cones hit the metal roof, sometimes starting at dawn, and find piles of the
discarded cone parts around the place.

Quick question. How do you know the squirrels name is Douglas? (he looks more like a Jeffery to me)! Lol.

I wonder if Chevy ever thought one of their cars could look like this when it rolled off the production line, and what their opinion would have been?

I just noticed this “symbol” after a number of posts in a few categories. It’s probably been there all along but I just noticed it.
Look at it sideways, it's a smiling face! Lol.

Take 4 of them, rotate each one 90 degrees and combine.
Wonder if this was thought through or was intended.

Yeah, I always thought Hitlers hairstyle was a bit suspect! Lol.
