Most A tubes have a contact missing. If you look at say a Super A and a K10D/K-5 the Super A has an extra contact.

You can get round it by sanding some black paint off the tube.
Try first with a piece of alloy foil.

I'm not sure about factories, but shops have a right to use the public footpath outside their premises to display goods.... flowers, boxes of fruit, signs etc. I seem to remember that it extends to the CL of the road? It's also getting very close to causing an dangerous obstruction to the entrance and the tog seemed to be taking the film purely to cause provocation.

I'm against security guards stopping togs photographing buildings like we have had in London, but in this case I'm on the side of GW.

It won't be any use without changing and toilet facilities.

Just about scrape by with head and shoulders, I've never been
a fan of full length portraits, but it could be a struggle
doing 3/4 length shots, which is a bit too formal anyway.

Casual shots sitting on the floor or on benches and posing
stools should be OK.... this is where the money is

Renting out could be a problem and you could get a lot of
complaints about the height restrictions etc. afterwards.

Would you need change of use planning permission. If so would
they turn it down because of such a low ceiling?

Thanks... it's worth a look even though Bailey and Shrimpton
will be played by actors.

Repeated at 1am on the Friday.

The fixed (f/4)'A' Series is slightly sharper than the variable
aperture one. Superb lens.

Just checked mine with the Pentax "CS-205 Cable Switch For Remote Shutter Release" and it focused first.... no problems.

Camera was on:
M exposure
NO SR (on tripod so I switched it off)
AF-S (GREEN)
