Thanks HinFrance..... not
major financial problems - I just have other things I'd rather spend money on - I've just got a set of cartridges and some paper for my printer (far more expensive than you'd think, though I've found a very reasonable supplier now); Then there's a lens I'm saving for (which is nearly the price of that Sony a580) and I'm determined to get Lightroom soon. Meanwhile, my partner allowed a virus onto her laptop and that's a big one that will need money to repair.... all kinds of things get in the way of (my) progress!
