    In the UK, baked beans.

    In my work we did a blind taste test of 10 different brands of baked beans, with participants ranking them in order from best to worst. The name brand options such as Heinz, HP, and Branstons ended up in the middle, with the cheaper options from Aldi and Asda being the best. The most expensive beans were from Marks and Spencer and were voted the worst ones.

    If you're paying more than 50p a can its not worth it.

    I just leave the zone focus on the middle setting most of the time, I think the focus zone is 1.2m to infinity according to the manual. If something is over 5m I use the long distance focus. I barely ever use the close focus unless I'm taking a portrait.

    The viewfinder in the x300 has a light meter and recommends what shutter speed to set the camera to depending on what you have the lens set to, normally I try and get this to be 500 or 1000 and it seems to work. I'm sort of just winging it as I've only just started photography :)

    I'm not a fan of bluetooth, I find the headphones heavy due to the battery which hurts after long use. 3.5mm is much more convenient to use i find, and also much easier to replace if it breaks.

    Due to my current phone not having a headphone jack i can't use my koss portapros, so I picked up a pair of kph40 utility, again from koss which use a USB c cable and they work great.
