An early start to my visit to Tatton Park this year and I ended up with about 400 raw and jpeg images and several clips of video. I did not think the show was quite as good as last year and I missed the bandstand and great music we had last year. Come back the 'Casablanca Steps' all is forgiven!
Once again the Sony Nex 7 and 18-200 zoom proved a good combination and rarely used the 16mm pancake lens. I did however try out an old Raynox DCR -154Pro converter with the 18-200 zoom and found it very useful indeed - especially for close-ups. I had bought it for another camera a while ago and had to use a couple of adapters to go from 52 to 67mm front thread. It does add a bit of weight to the front of the lens so you have to be careful when using it.
