The Chippenham Wheelers Man

I guess the words on the cycling kit are positioned to be read when the wearer is crouched on a bike. But it's still inconsistent. He'd have to be on his back to read the shorts and on his front to read the tunic. I don't know why the Chippenham Wheelers carry hoes around on their journeys. He told me that if he didn't clear the weeds, no-one would. I admire his public spirit. Nikon D2Xs + AF-S Nikkor 18-200mm lens.

Nikon D40 + Nikkor 18-70mm lens. The D40 was one of Nikon's early digital SLR cameras and was made from 2006 - 2010. The sensor is a CCD type made by Sony. You can't get this type now and to my eye it has a nice warm character that CMOS sensors lack. The nearest comparison I can draw is my preference for Fuji Reala film over the cheaper colour negative types in the 1990s. But Reala was expensive and I had other demands on my cash at the time. Happily, by way of compensation, the D40 can now be bought quite cheaply. Mine had 566 shutter actuations and came boxed as new for under £60. It weighs about 18 ounces. It's a lot of fun for little money.
