PSP didn't used to handle AdobeRGB..... I've a feeling that
it still doesn't.

The Serif editor? came out with top readers votes in one of the
monthly mags recently.

I couldn't believe how low this went for ebay£88.77

Not quite as good as the Legendary Series 1 "Bokina" but a top lens all the same.

There is a Bokina in Romania without the 1:1 adapter for £220 which is still good for this very rare lens, regarded by many as the top macro ever made. ebay

Edit: Looks like he got a bargain when he bought it £142. It wasn't listed too good. ebay

It's still a good buy at £220 BIN

Some shots on Flickriver with the Bokina

With any sealed instrument it's more important what you do with it when finished..... Don't put it in the case damp..... Dry it off with a cloth or tissue...... leave it out of the case for a few hours to dry completely preferably in a room with normal humidity and temperature.

Do they allow people with photographic memories in?

Good I thought it would be that

You should get some really good photos with that lens

Edit: Just been looking at the other forum about Canon FD lenses and stumbled on this which may help. I've only glanced at it and it seems OK.

Also from the above page.link

It's a very dangerous precedent. Next thing they'll all be doing it and if you go on a normal day, you'll get a Security Guard coming telling you that photography is only allowed on the £80 days.

Wildlife reserves aren't exactly packed like Blackpool Funfair

The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) costs about £35 annual membership and you can go to any of their sites any day for FREE after that and take all the photos you want.

The one I usually go to is Martin Mere. A mate of mine was there last week and caught some good shots of a wild Peregrine Falcon grabbing a Pigeon during a week that a lot of school kids were there.

Hope this idea of charging photographers £80 day doesn't catch on in other places

Best way to stop it it is DON'T GO!!
