The first batch of K1000s were made in Japan - they had this stamped into the back of the camera (like the KM/KX/K2) and the serial number on the top plate like those bodies. AFAIK the K1000 SE had brown leatherette and "SE" stamped into the front of the top plate. Aside from the thing on the ...

Well here's the story behind mine.....I was being entertained at a boxing evening with my wife. I went to the bar to get us both a drink, and I came back after about 10 minutes without any drinks but with this photograph instead. The boxers weren't the only ones who got shiners that night :D....

most people will recognise Father Jack Hackett, a character from Father Ted who shouts 'Feck!' 'Girls!' 'Drink! DRINK!' all the time.... just like me:oops: here he is with his new pet brick "I love my brick!", soon afterwards he throws it at the back of Father Ted's head saying "Fed up of B...

It's an old hydroelectric turbine outside the Elan Valley visitor centre. I spend a fair amount of time up there and it's an interesting bit of engineering. It was removed from one of the dams when an upgraded turbine was installed - AFAIK Elan Village is still powered entirely from hydroelectricity...

USB hub question
That really depends on what you intend to plug in and how much current everything (connected) draws out of the power supply. I use a flying lead from one of the back USB ports that I use to plug odds and ends into as I've never needed everything connected at the same time. regards Bernard

USB hub question
Some things have their own power supply - they aren't taking power from the computer itself, others, like the mouse or when I connect the e-book do take power from the computer. Truth is I need a new computer really but a) can't face choosing one, and b) really can't face setting the thing up. ...

film ASA
I think you're best sticking to one ASA rating for a roll of film, otherwise how will you develop them correctly? (Although Matt suggests some films a tolerant of gross underesposure without push processing, presumably you just increase the enlarger time?) If you find it confusing - and aren't p...
