R.I.P. Harry great photographer. A friend of mine used to go to shoots with him from time to time in the 70's as a sort of unpaid assistant.

Is anyone here a member of "The Camera Club" in London founded 1885?
http://thecameraclub.co.uk/

They used to have one in Manchester until the 70's... all we ever did was photograph models from Lucy Claytons and Pam Holts once a week plus actors/actresses off Corrie who wanted free prints. Because it was licensed it eventually became the local for the Granada crowd and the Camera Club broke up, when the studio became a restaurant.

Edit: This was the place....

Those were the days when you had to step over Peter Fairclough on the floor to get to the bar

It would do if you'd just blown £100,000 on a scanner
Unless they give you a free camera

Stuff like that might be advertised in trade journals, but it's
mostly in the catalogues of the hire firms.

Pentax and Nikon also did surveying instruments...

The K-3 is almost certainly APS-C, but bigger than
20MP (24MP??) so it's pointless talking about FF

R.I.P. Jackie Lomax one of the greatest singers of the Beatles era.
Not sure if he was the 5th or 35th Beatle. Never received
the fame he deserved, even with 3 Beatles and Eric Clapton
playing on some of his records.

I remember him best as the singer/guitarist with one of the
best live bands I ever heard..... The Undertakers

Weren't Pentax the first to reach X Million? They used
it in their adverts.

Looking on the good side..... they can't lose that many
togs to Canikon FF

Well done selling 20M anyway.

I wonder why there isn't a volume control? I watched 10secs
and then switched off... far too loud and too much trouble to
find my PC volume control.

Pity the subject can't be mentioned on here!
