A Dallmeyer Super-Six Anastigmat 3-1/4'' F/1.9 Lens sold yesterday
for £8,100 started at 99p. I wonder if the seller was expecting that

It did include the Original BOX which probably added about £2k

Does anyone remember copying files in Windows95/98 where the option to ignore files already copied could be used.

I'm wanting to use this facility in XP as I'm fed up with waiting ages whilst I copy whole folders again and again just to ensure I didn't miss anything.

Is there an add on to XP or a 3rd party freeware solution?

Windows never had that even though earlier computers did. You used to be able to answer N each time it asked or just keep the N Key pressed down until the copying finished. You can still get Winfile free.

NT4 Winfile will work to a certain extent with XP You need the install from here: http://www.mdgx.com/files/FMNT32.EXE
Streets ahead of XP Explorer even though bits of it don't work.

Just run it to install. You also need the FMStepup FREE extension which
may already be in the installer. Details here link

The main info page is here, but you can ignore most of it:

Is it just me, or is Rugby a very feminine sport?

I mean, don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with that but..

take football...not euro football, which we call soccer, I mean American or Canadian football...that you play using your hands....
Considering they are wearing padding in American Football the hits look very soft
This shows both

Possibly it's because if someone is wearing padding it's a lot harder to hurt them?.... so why bother

sports finder link

The listing for the 28mm f3.5 was not anything like as described by Algi, in fact it was probably too far the other way (understated). I get the impression (may be wrong) that it was being sold by an older gentleman who was not well versed in the ways of ebay!
Someone off this forum then Ha! Ha!

The Pentax viewfinder is only OPTICAL

Cheaper to buy a small camera with an optical viewfinder
and mount the two on one bracket..... or buy a Russian or
Leica turret finder

I've got a Linhof 5x4 finder that might work

Just reminded me I've not tried the 55-300mm on a K-5 yet
Must try it when we next get a decent bit of weather

Superb set and shows that the 150-500mm is well up to the job.

I love all this mythical nonsense/lenspeak that togs manage to
somehow dream up

f/3.5 can't be much use because (unlike an f/2.8 )
it hasn't got an...

EXTRA LARGE FRONT DIAMETER LENS ELEMENT FOR
BETTER PERIPHERY LIGHT GATHERING IN THE CORNERS
(VERY SIMILAR TO THE HELIOS VERSION
CAPABLE OF HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES


and that's from a reliable source an ebay
listing from a professional photographic lens retailer
link

Just ignore the fact that it has Prinzflex written on it

Also did you know that the Pentax_M 135mm f/3.5 is

EXELLENT BOKEH FOR PORTRAITS
135mm lens is in EXELLENT condition.
VERY HIGH OPTICAL PERFORMANCE
EXEEDING THE 2.8 & 2.5 VERSIONS BY A SUBSTANTIAL MARGIN
F=3.5 f=135mm auto telephoto lens
GOOD AT EVEN FULL APERTURE (GOOD FOR DIGITAL VIDEO)


link

Not sure what "Exellent" means but because it's an f/3.5
it must be better than the f/2.8 and f/2.5 versions
people say so

Not sure either what "Exeeding" means either must be some
kind of 'Lens Expert Tradespeak' like molished by Tomioka

David, was the 28mm you bought for £28 badly listed
for it to go for about what it's worth?
