Great work here. Lovely contrast and detail. Nicely centred. Textbook stuff

Very good deal, pity this one is white...
Nylon can be dyed though? Get yourself a hot pink one?

The White Pentax Nylon bag that everyone will be sporting! Ordered yesterday, arrived today for the grand total (postage included) of £4... with a penny change. Unbelievable service.
Also, a set of 8 'anti-static' tweezers from Amazon in order to aid me changing seals on a recently procured MX (a steal) and to aid in changing seals on the other item received today, as below.
A Pentax ME Super - sold as spares but with the winder working, shutter firing and no stuck mirror... I thought it worth a punt for the sub £20 I paid, batteries should've arrived today for me to check the metering but they have not... I might order a set from Amazon with their one-day delivery just to safeguard trying it sooner rather than later. Seals from Jon Goodman should be arriving soon as the MX ones arrived yesterday! ME Super is a little dinked and rusty in a couple of places but viewfinder is clear, seals are relatively intact, everything moves smoothly as it should, just a tad grubby (and therefore not an issue)!

To echo the comments earlier, the abstracts and minimalism is very easy on the eye. They have an almost 'painted' quality to them.
I definitely need to visit Skomer - it's not all that far up the road (and across the water) from me.

Dang! I've been keeping an eye out for one of these at around this sort of price but it's certainly the wrong time of the month for me to be purchasing...
Bargain for whoever snaps it up

The lack of scale is what makes them for me. They could be mm, cm or furlongs wide! Very nice.

I found exactly the same when pricing up to sell (which you subsequently bought, Haris)!

That being said, I've still gone ahead and ordered one because my current little camera bag holds the K-70 and a small lens. Can't get anything else in there so why not have an intermediate-sized bag?

Flickr has been much improved in the last year, its cleaner and much quicker to access and for nearly a year all my bulk uploads have gone without a hitch. I can upload videos and 50 plus images at a time without any drop outs so I'm happy, except the price which is now best part of £50 a touch dear but it is advert free and unlimited storage.
I had it in their recent sale for £26 or thereabouts. Well worth it at that price for me, personally.
I agree, it’s not been buggy for me at all and is easy to organise, quick and no issues uploading.

Now ordered a set from Jon as well. I can have a look and see which stacks up as better quality, at least visually, between Jon’s and the French offering!
Thanks again to everyone for the help, as always!

Jon Goodman sells excellent pre-cut seal kits with detailed instructions. He can be contacted at [email protected] and charges very reasonable prices.

He comes highly recommended by various people on the US fora and by me.

Amazing, thank you. I’d come across his name before but all posts were from a few years ago so I wasn’t certain whether he was still operating!
I’ll have to drop him an email and see what he comes back with! Thanks for this, Kris.
