I love a trip to the coast on a cold sunny day. There’s no better way to blow the cobwebs off. A nice walk from North Bay in Scarborough through to the Spa at Southbay. Fish and Chips. Ice Cream. Perfect. Scarborough is much nice than I remembered too.
As it turned out this was my last trip with the GX80. I have never really clicked with that camera. It was too big to be actually portable, not much smaller than my G9. It wasn’t;’t my GM1…. So, it’s gone back to MPB for not much less than I bought it. I got a couple of nice shots with it before it went though.
I could have spent hours looking at these rainbows.
So, now the GX80 has gone what’s next? Obviously, I love my GM1. Its only downside is no viewfinder. As someone with limited vision I find it easier to work with a viewfinder. So, I’m looking for a GM5, at a reasonable price. There’s currently one on eBay for £800 – which is mad. I’ve set up an alert for any that come up on the listings. Fingers crossed.
Time to get my eyes stabbed. Hopefully I’ll get out next weekend when I can see again.
