Borrowed from one of our Jack Russells; I'll have to give it back when I've finished with it.(Not for the foreseeable future!) Coker.

So why did you choose your user name?
With a teenage daughter growing up in the 80s , I was not only the centre of attraction as a chef but also as the "friend" to all her mates who would come round and chat about stuff they might not be able to do with their own parents - thus was born Tozza - from Tony - and reasonably respectful from...

So why did you choose your user name?
Mine is derived from my initials, or wot some people call me. It started as my Cix username back in 1994 and as it's usually free I use it on many online fora.

Selling my K20D
I'm tempted to sell my K20D (I wonder why:wink:) with battery grip D-BG2 and 2 batteries. Any ideas as to what it might be worth? It's in mint condition, with very low mileage (3350 actuations, it was only used as a back up camera).

I have a few more copies than that Vic, going back to the 1980s at least, and I will certainly miss the printed version.

Hi all, I too spotted the hidden details at the back of the mag. We were promised direct contact i thought. Very cheeky way to avoid as many refunds as possible! I've emailed in from this site as my response and had no acknowledgement. Hsve they all left? I can't remember the last time I ha...

If a company decides not to fulfill its side of a deal, it's the company's responsibility to issue refunds not the customer's responsi...

Well I hope they don't send me a cheque. It would cost more to cash it than the refund :shock:. As it is a refund will probably cost too much anyway. Does it have to be a letter? Will an e-mail do? It would be nice if they contacted their subscribers rather than us having to contact them. Las...

This very website says: "Current subscribers to the Pentax User Club will be contacted in the post regarding refund options." To then 'hide' this at the back of the magazine, placing the onus back on the subscriber, is shoddy and underhand. There will be a database with the names and address...

I received back issues in lieu - from the last few years. Fascinating stuff and interesting technical articles. I love JR's article on Portmerion - always wanted to go there.

Backdrops
Any old bits of cloth, old sheets etc will suffice for starters, dont worry about creases, just keep the model well forward of it and throw it out of focus.

Thanks John, no need for the 63mm Nikkor if you've got a Luminar. The Apo-Componon 90/4.5 was an expensive lens in it's day. I've got the 50mm Componon-S which was a lot cheaper. Not sure what they are like for macros but the Omicron EL range were about the best for enlarging in the late 70's. They ...
