Seven days a week, mine was.  Still, it kept me in comic and book money... Back in the day, when a paperback cost 30p!
We have a jocular expression up north to explain why someone looks older than their age: "He had a hard paper round..." I'm saying nothing.

A hard paper round? Luxury. Sheer luxury.

It wasn't a waste of money. I can use it but I have to recognise its failings. If I adjust the lens to the available light before stalking any wildlife, I avoid the clang and the camera shake.
The lens is great. It is a fast telephoto than can take good pictures in low light with good resolution. It can be fitted with an adaptor for use with digital SLRs so it has a considerable value - more than I paid for the Photosniper itself.
The only real problem is the weight. It is far easier to take my light digital camera in a pocket than to carry the Photosniper in its heavy case. |

Small children in cardboard boxes are the favourite present of Grizzly bears.

He has devoured the infant child.
The infant child is not aware
He has been eaten by the bear." -
