Haven't used my S3 yet - it'll just have to wait to take its turn! Doesn't it feel good when you've returned an oldie to a clean, gleaming state?

Paul -- I had a look at your collection ! Drool Drool ! They all look as if they have been taken out of the box ! I bet you didn't have to do Floodlit Football on a Cold, Wet December afternoon with any of them as I had to !
I did a Video on the re-furbishment and show some actual old prints taken with it -- you can see it here :

Great video, Peter. Almost took the punge into a K1000 in 1978 when I bought my first SLR. Opted for the then brand new MX. One service, three batteries and 40 years later MX still firing on all cylinders, predating my LX and a couple of more recent DSLR's the MX is still my very favourite camera.
