At a local major oil refinery they plant a tree with a
brass plaque when someone retires, but because of the
fumes around the refinery the trees don't last very
long

So the question is: If Canon don't feel they need it, why do Pentax?The cheaper Canon's (60D and below) don't have
any adjustment.

don't have things like carpets in the boot and lights over
the rear seats unless you pay another £1,000

Great lights, I've got the slightly smaller CN-126.
Handy for focus testing because the light is daylight.
Better on a small tripod.
Be careful with the light level it falls as the batteries
run out.

It was actually McDonalds..... can't find them on the net.
This was the stuff.....
Special lacquers are available which, after drying, have surface
characteristics unlike current photographic papers. McDonald Pro-
Tecta-Cote Florentine, applied over coats of conventional or textured
lacquers, dries with a reticulated (cracked) surface intended to
simulate old and deteriorated oil paintings. Other special effects
lacquers, such as McDonald Pro-Texture Lacquer, can produce simulated
brush strokes on the surface of a print.
Not even listed here.... link

It came in spray cans from the US in the 70/80's. It
was purpose made for the job. Possibly no longer available.
I'm sure the name was Mac Donalds photofinishing products?
Calumet might know. I used to get it from Hargeaves
but I they were taken over.

The Tomioka Auto Revuenon 55mm f1.2 M42 went for £419
posted on ebay link
Revuenon were just a marketing brand so I'm surprised it
went so high. It doesn't look like it's got multicoating either
At f/1.2 you need all the contrast you can get.
I'm not sure when I'll get round to cutting down the Canon EE-s
screen. I'm looking for an older one first to practise on

The photographic process was a varnish that you sprayed
on it contracted on drying and looked like an oil painting.

The only live auctions on ebay at present for two 55mm f/1.2's
haven't finished but are up at £255 and £310.
I would have said yours would be worth a minimum of £250
with the focusing fixed. That shouldn't be a big job.
87 pages of f/1.2 shots only here
I've got THREE f/1.2's and can't decide which to sell
Pentax K, Cosina K or Tomioka M42?
I've just bought a Canon EE-s screen, but have to
cut it down for the K-5.
