But as it is bright yellow, it might get the same attention as that retired dentist's car in the village of Bibury a few years ago! At least it is "prettier" than a Corsa (no offence to any Corsa owners!). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham (G4FUJ) Posted May 10, 2019 Share #46 Posted May 10, 2019 My everyday car is a non-S, i.e. just a Cooper. Quick enough, with fewer of the reliability issues of the S and JCW (reading various forums and road tests). Been a good little commuter plus a short Highlands/Northumberland holiday cruiser. My second MINI, I'd like another Clubman - some extra space (for photo kit! ).

farnz Posted May 12, 2019 Share #48 Posted May 12, 2019 According to Black + White Photography magazine, Fox Talbot Museum in Lacock Abbey is displaying until July 7th: "John Paul Evans explores the polemics of gender representation in photography.".

No, my Mini is a 2 ltr with 17 inch wheels and more power than I like to use, scares me something rotten at times 🙂. Wouldn’t mind a classic Cooper S though, my brother had one when I was just a kid in almond green, loved that car. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen some good exhibitions at the Abbey in the past but that one has got me stumped 😳, what time will you be getting to Chippenham for Pete then I can set a time for the meet up in Lacock.

A quick question for you Jim, I was wondering what you think about the Voigtlander 15mm you have, is it as good as all the reviews I’ve been reading as I have been thinking about adding one to my kit to use on digital and film M’s. ( did you sort out the colour fringing issue you had with the 240 ) Edited May 12, 2019 by Geoff Marshall Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrycym Posted May 13, 2019 Share #52 Posted May 13, 2019 I have one of those 15mm’s and it’s fine on digital. real bargain. I have the latest version which is the one to get Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimothy Posted May 14, 2019 Share #53 Posted May 14, 2019 Geoff, the 15mm is a great little lens. I didn't do anything about the fringing - i think its because I didn't select the right lens in the menu. TBH I haven't found it to be intrusive as its only at the edges of the frame. If you want to try it at the LTM meet I'll bring it with me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrycym Posted May 14, 2019 Share #54 Posted May 14, 2019 I have mine coded as a 16mm Tri-Elmar - this way I know what lens I used when I open the images in Adobe Bridge - you can also search for them by this too. When I open the images in Adobe Camera Raw, I choose the correct Voigtlander 15mm lens profile - don't choose Leica as a body, choose Voigtlander! Took me a while to figure that one out. Actually, I search for 16mm Tri-Elmar and use a "preset" (that's not the right name) specifically to use the correct lens profile and not much else. The rest is done manually. Works really well for me 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanetomlane Posted May 17, 2019 Share #56 Posted May 17, 2019 Any idea what time we're going to meet Geoff as I can't decide whether to come down and stay Friday night, or drive there on Saturday morning and possibly stay Saturday night? If people are staying Friday, or Saturday night we may be able to arrange dinner on one of the evenings. Just a thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tom i was thinking about11.30 to 12 o’clock in Lacock, we could all meet in the car park or alternatively at the tearoom by the side of the public house across the road from the entrance to Lacock Abbey. Good choice of car by the way, my Cooper S has the John Cooper Works kit fitted but will probably be using my wife’s countryman for the trip down as it’s more space for the kitchen sink and everything else she likes to take with her 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted May 18, 2019 Share #58 Posted May 18, 2019 If I come I will do it there and back the same day. If we are declaring cars, I’ll be in my M140i 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted May 18, 2019 Share #59 Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) Mine's likely to be a Hitachi Class 800 IET at a wild guess.🤔 Pete. Edited May 18, 2019 by farnz 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham (G4FUJ) Posted May 18, 2019 Share #60 Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) Thought about staying, even though the village is only an hour away, but most places were pretty much fully booked and the prices had risen a fair bit since I last stayed (admittedly at a quieter time of year). Stables tearoom sounds good. :swmbo: always favoured King Johns Hunting Lodge tearooms, but unless gathering in the garden there isn't a lot of space.
