Finally, something has gone full circle and gotten back to the place where it should have been.

Today I will (hopefully) hand over my Panasonic FZ-30 to my daughter, for whom I originally bought the camera in January 2006. She never actually got it as my wife thought it would not fit into her handbag and that she needed something smaller. So I kept the FZ-30 and started back on the photo trail. What a journey :-) and still on it.

Charging the batteries and turning it on brought back a host of pleasant memories - and reminded my just how heavy my new gear is in comparison. I also realised why a full zoom f/2.8 lens is such a good idea.

A bitter-sweet moment is some ways but good to see the camera finally in the hands of the person it was intended for.

Neat story! And look where it brought you, that little camera... So glad it did, too!

Yeah, me too. Shame I cannot make the European GTG as it would have been good to meet you but the tax man had other ideas :-(

I plan to hang out in Europe for awhile, with a slight detour to the Middle East for a short bit, but at some point I *will* head on over your way so we'll meet then. Deal?
