I really like the colours plus it's a good sharp capture.

Canon have made a big mistake not having AF Micro-adjustment
on their cheaper cameras. This includes the 60D which in other
respects is a K-5 competitor.

A Muslim was sitting next to Paddy on a plane.

Paddy ordered a whisky.

The stewardess asked the Muslim if he'd like a drink.

He replied in disgust "I'd rather be raped by a dozen
whores than let liquor touch my lips"

Paddy handed his drink back and said

"Me too, I didn't know we had a choice"

Don't forget that some RAW files can be further compressed by WinRar or Winzip. WinRar should be able to compress each RAW file into it's own RAR file as a batch operation. I keep meaning to do that with some of my older stuff. Later DNG's are usually heavily compressed already.

Or a wind-up merchant? Be very surprised if the seller actually sees that 8k!
£6K isn't unusual for certain Dallmeyer lenses and this one does have the box.... but it is an enlarger lens Maybe the buyer already has the version for a camera.

I'm surprised how tight the seller is He must have known this would go for a high price, but has only included £3.49 for Economy Delivery and quoted Delivery: Estimated within 6-8 working days

Any voltmeter should work (I would think) as long as it
has a range going up to about 600V which would cover most
smaller flashes.

An alternative is use an old ballpoint pen to short
out the PC lead. If it welds the ball in the pen to the
outer brass.... stay clear!

Shame the site does not list several of my old flashes from film days.
Just switch on and put a digital voltmeter across the contacts.
