Pieter, I have delayed long enough but looking back through my catalogues my last April Foolishness was 2020 and I never seem to have picked it up again after the pandemic. So it is about time I did, especially as Dyxum has always been so good to me and the April 2018 challenge turned in to a personal dedication on the second day when there were many photos featuring the number 70 for my seventieth birthday. Still gives me a thrill to look through the inventive captures. And there were TWENTYSIX of us in that challenge
![]() So, I shall commit to 3 per week, with the aim to post more if I can, and my choice of cameras and lenses is: NEX-6 with SamYang AF FE 35mm f2.8 and a7RM4A with Sony FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS, two of my most under-used lenses. (Hopefully I am allowed to use more than one camera?) And as always I shall contribute to the commenting as much as I can. |

Great to see such a nice group of participants coming in. I'll join the fun this Aprill. Its a bit of a gamble realy, I'll do it mostly for my drive to make images on daily basis. I am travelling alot lately, not seeing a pc sometimes for weeks, so images will be late to the treads...... ![]() pic a day A7iii Sigma 45i + 90i |

I'm looking forward to it. I've been in 'spray and pray' mode for the best of last month, with another minolta legend, the 200 2.8 HS AF. See also the recent dogs thread. I was hovering my lens and camera above the water for most of the time, to get as low as possible, not composing, only trying to get lizzy in focus and not drown the camera. It is rewarding when it works, but time to slow down a little. manual focus only for april. |

Sign me up, please. I think I will do 135/1.8 GM and 24/2.8 Min(O), 5/week minimum.
I'll be traveling (just a 'short' 55 miles) for the eclipse. This will both give me some photographic opportunities and disrupt my schedule. The question is whether I will find time throughout the rest of the month to do this challenge justice. |

Still had to decide about the lenses:
Minolta 35mm f2.0 RS Minolta 135mm f2.8 All A and E-mount camera's can be used (A77ii - Nex c3 - A7III or A7rii). Minimum 3 a week we'll try to do better than that (5 a week). |
