Hello everyone

I was in Manchester over the weekend and visited the  John Rylands University Library on Deansgate which is really interesting piece of gothic architecture with a modern extension.

This gave me the opportunity to try out my  my new Panasonic Lumix LX3 compact camera.

Great little camera, very convenient, small, lightweight, good wide angle and a F2.0 lens which is very fast. Most importantly  it shoots RAW.

The quality is very good indeed, not upto a DSLR, a bit noisy from ISO400 onwards but good enough for most situations.

Here are some of the photographs
