The bottom line is that if someone voted to leave in 2016 and then voted Conservative in 2019 to "get Brexit done" then that person now better hope and pray that their domestic policy requirements align precisely with those of the Conservative party. Because from here until 2024, that person is going to get exactly what the Conservative party determine that they are going to get and no more. And with the 80 seat majority that they helped deliver for them, they have ensured that it will be unopposed. If anyone is in any doubt about how that might work out, then a quick glimpse of their voting records should prove enlightening.

This poll was, of course, taken, after watching his performance in office for four years so not indicative of any correlation between Brexit voters feelings about him in 2016 when obviously he wasn't actually in office yet. In any case, neither UKIP nor the Brexit party won a single constituency in the UK general elections either, so using UK constituency voting intention is not really even a useful indicator of a link between Brexit and, well, Brexit. Particularly when you consider that Nigel Farage, the undisputed high priest of Brexit, has never been able to win a parliamentary seat in his whole career despite seven attempts over a period of two decades. Where you will find a link between Brexit and UK voting is, of course, is when you look at the election record of UKIP etc in the European Elections where due to those utilising proportional representation rather than first past the post, the number of votes cast as a whole is reflected in the number of seats awarded. So UKIP/Brexit Party etc can get fairer representation in the parliament that they were demonising than they can in their own parliament. Which is all a bit awkward really isn't it ? It also blows a big hole in the lack of "sovereignty" as well as surely the EU would have insisted on the UK adopting proportional representation too ? So, of course, the UK has always had sufficient "sovereignty" to determine its own election processes irrespective of being in the EU or not and could also have chosen to establish this fairer method of distribution of seats in it own parliament. This would have afforded the supporters of the UKIP/Brexit Party etc a genuine stake in shaping domestic issues. But of course, the reason that proportional representation will always be voted down in the UK can be found in the result of the 2019 general election. The Conservatives got 43.6% of the votes cast in the country and were rewarded with 364 seats (56% of the total seats). Whereas between them, the Labour & LibDems got 43.7% and received only 214 seats (32.92% of the total seats). It was framed as a Brexit election but with the way the constituency boundaries have been re-drawn over the years it delivered an 80 seat majority that means the Conservative party can now basically rule by decree. Under proportional representation, they wouldn't have had a working majority even with the support of parties allied to Brexit such as UKIP etc. So the bigger and actually more damaging impact of Brexit isn't just Brexit itself, as damaging as it is to wilfully impose economic sanctions on yourself, but that it has now delivered at least five years of unopposed space in which the Conservative government can impose policies that will be no friend to the working class. There were many legitimate grievances from working class people that voted to Leave in 2016. Unfortunately, they were aimed at the wrong parliament.

Providing Fujifilm don't completely cripple it then I'll be having a fire sale to get the upcoming GFX100S. If it is too compromised then I'll be having an inferno sale to buy a used version of the original GFX100. And then switch the internet off.

I wish! Should have splurged out on one of the knockoffs years ago? But would like to read more reviews about them. Careful, I seem to remember the last time EasyRigs were brought up on here we ended up with about ten pages of a forum version of this ....

Well, in the UK, as you can see from this ad, they were as equally associated with tobacco as they were with booze. I don't know whether it was just a random selection that determined if they turned up to rescue you with either brandy or tobacco or whether it was a more bespoke service depending on your needs like a forerunner (or pawrunner in this case) of Ubereats or Deliveroo.

Dear 2020,

I think Renault did show a concept version based on it a while back. Meanwhile, this guy took matters into his own hands.

These two delivering the vaccines in those little barrels would be the heartwarming finale that we all need for the disaster movie that has been 2020.

We did consider it but decided against it. The calibration file is unique to the combination of camera, copy of the lens (plus any adapter such as speedbooster etc) and position of the sensor at the time you did the calibration. With all of those variables in play, it is far from guaranteed that you'd find a calibration file that someone else had made that would work 100% with someone else's setup so it would cause more issues than it solved. So for that reason, its not something that we will looking to incorporate. Plus, the calibration process only takes a few minutes anyway and is a one off per lens as its stored in the AFX's internal database so, as well as being more accurate, its actually far quicker to it than it would be going to a website, finding a suitable calibration file and flashing it onto the AFX. Having said that, there is possibly some benefit for owners of multiple AFXs that they use with the same models of cameras and lenses to be able to transfer calibration files between them so that could be something that could potentially be incorporated in a future firmware update.

The literal translation for them is Firmino Mane Salah.

I think I might have something in my eye after watching that... Feliz Navidad. Our usual festive trip to Sierra Nevada is sadly off limits this year due to the regional border closures but on Wednesday we will be able to move across municipality borders again so like a true ex-pat I will be out buying British biscuits from the grocery store that has remained off limits for the past month! If you think the child in your film is excited you want to see what I'll be like armed with a few packets of chocolate digestives.

Might be worth looking at this service as it seems to tick the boxes for what you need. https://screenlight.tv/ The free account seems like it will suffice as you only have a single project.

As expected, they were 24mm f3.5, the 35mm f2 and 65mm f2. Good to see them releasing more lenses for L mount at least that are compact and good value for money in the style of the 40mm f2.8. The 35mm f2 is definitely going to find a home on my Fp. Presentation here :

Hang on, yeah I was being an idiot and not reading the whole thing. Recording capacity obviously does not equal recording time !

No max record time, some AF restrictions and you have to slow it down in post yourself. /// EDIT //// Fidel Castro was notorious for his long speeches but according to Sony's spec the ZV-1 can record for 13 HOURS so you'd be able to capture two of even his longest efforts. Card capacity and spontaneous combustion are likely to be a bigger issue with that though. 4K at 60mb will give you over 8 hours on a 256 gig card. https://helpguide.sony.net/dc/1910/v1/en/contents/TP0002870058.html ///// IGNORE ALL THAT Maximum recording capacity rather than continuous recording time.

Are they in dire straits because, by courting influencers, all the other companies are getting their money for nothing and their clicks for free ? * I'll get me coat.

NAB was always the worst of the ones that I used to do over there. I'd always be the one arriving on the setup day with a prototype module that we hadn't been able to ship in time from the UK or spare parts and unless I could conceal it about my person then I had to hand it over to have it delivered to the stand by "official" methods. This once resulted in two grown men having to transport a 1U rack module (consisting of one small PCB and mainly fresh air) that I had been relieved of at the entrance three hours previously. I'll never forget the sight of the pair of them carrying this 2kg object on to our stand holding one end each without batting an eyelid at the absurdity of it. Having said that, the advantage of not being able to move anything bigger than a jack plug yourself was that, unlike European shows where we all had to get involved in humping the consoles in and out of crates and positioning them, we could quite happily wash our hands of it and just let them get on with it!

Sad news indeed. The problem is that with floor space at €400 per square metre before you've so much as put a piece of carpet down let alone build it out and staff it then spending €100 a pop on DHL to round trip a loan unit to thirty YouTubers that are hungry for gear to review is a no brainer for them. As most products are lucky to have a buzz that lasts beyond two weeks of initial excitement anyway then doing it this way lets manufacturers own these short periods rather than having to share them with every other new product launch as they would at an exhibition. UK visitors to European exhibitions also make up quite a sizeable portion of the overall attendance (15% at IBC for example, second only to the 18% of the host country) and that is about to get far more complicated after 1st of January. The days of popping over to Amsterdam or Cologne on EasyJet and waltzing through immigration and being at the RAI or Messe 45 minutes later with your grubby paws on new cameras will sadly be a thing of the past as you'll need a visa to get in to the country in the first place and a work visa if its a trade show.

It is available here and begins shipping in January. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/afx-autofocus-adapter More information here including the link to the discussion thread here https://www.eoshd.com/news/exclusive-cda-tek-announces-afx-module-for-lidar-autofocus-featuring-tilta-nucleus-motor-drive-and-blackmagic-pocket-cinema-camera-compatibility/

Some new L (and E) mount lenses being announced by Sigma next week. These will be 24mm f/3.5, 35mm f/2.0 and 65mm f/2.0 apparently.

M Motors require an interface cable but you do not require any for Nucleus N motors as these are included with the AFX.

Yes, the AFX supports the Nucleus Nano wheel over BLE and this can be bridged to the MMX.

Was very curious about seeing comparisons those where an M1 MacBookPro was outperforming an Intel MacBook Pro with egpu and wondering what would happen if you put an egpu on the M1 but alas it doesn't seem to support them. So unfortunately there'll be no Steven Wright moment.

CEX is often a rewarding destination to hunt for used Leica cameras for some odd reason. Like this £950 TL2 for example ... https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail?id=sdigleitl2bobb&categoryName=cameras-compact-system&superCatName=electronics&title=leica-tl2-(body-only)-24m-black-b

All of the Voigtlanders that I use on my Leicas are Japanese so they are German in brand licensing name only and I can safely mount my Chinese made 7Artisans lenses on them without causing an international incident. Not to mention of course that the majority of my "real" Leica lenses are actually Canadian ! I'd love to have a CL but, yeah, the X-Pro 3 is far more compelling spec wise, though that, of course, is not the only criteria. I wouldn't back against Sigma coming up with a Bayer sensor APS-C L mount in the near future as well as a Foveon one though. Incidentally, for anyone looking to get into APS-C L mount in the here and now though, the Leica T is now available used at £300 and I love mine. Its just a pity that the tilting EVF2, which is completely transformational for it operationally, is another 2/3rds of the price on top of that again !
