Photography : My Canon EOS 200D

I have had a few - not many - cameras in my day. Right now I have an EOS R and a 200D. I bought the 200D because I found the R - even with just one lens to be a bit heavy on longer hikes.



Together with the 200D I bought an EF-S 24mm 2.8 pancake lens.

I already had an EF 40 mm 2.8 pancake lens.

It may not be as good looking as a Fuji setup - but the camera and the two lenses are compact, lightweigt and the lenses are sharp.





And I am used to the Canon ergonomics.

Bike : My racing bike

Back in 2017 I bought what the seller claimed to be a Bottecchia vintage steel racing bicycle. 



He had stripped the original paint - and rust, powder coated it, fitted it with Shimano RX100 7 speed groupset, Shimano  M50T brakes and new Vittoria Zaffiro pro 700x25c tyres.


It took a while to get used to the gearing as it was the first time I tried to use the break handles - pushing them aside - to gear up.
