Have none of you noticed who's selling it ?

I saw a recent survey that showed that it was faster to go through the normal checkout than the self-service. They probably introduced them to save on checkout staff wages by making the people redundant. For that reason I would never use them. If they give me a brush I'll sweep the store for them on my way out

I like the smell of Russian Jupiter lenses best
Even better if they've been kept in a Bakelite case for 40 years

There were some earlier posts which involved Stefan and myself which had links to various sites that showed that good tonality with digital just isn't possible. Highlights are very poor compared to medium or large format film and noise is a problem with the shadows due to the limited way in which this information is digitally stored. The videos on this site explain about the problems with mid-grey and below link

I put in a bid but was put off by the photo and their feedback.
I don't mind taking a chance if it involves a small amount but I knew it was probably going to go for more than I was willing to risk.

I just noticed the sellers name..... Woodbine
Doesn't exactly inspire confidence

I was surprised to see that one on ebay only managed £188.57 plus £1.72 for 1st class post??? = £190.29 link

Could it be that he had One Negative Feedback (for a £7.67 item) from a buyer who seems to give quite a bit of neutral feedback? For this he got:
"lego was dirty and unsuitable for a child - overpriced as inaccurate description"

Beautiful and a very unusual type of architecture even for a thatched cottage. I don't think I've ever see that type of white cladding before.

Nice and sharp especially the Robin. Must have been a very fast shutter speed, because there isn't much DOF. I'm also amazed that it's 2000ISO.
