Very sad news this It would be a shame to see them go the same way as Woolworths.

Hi Graham. I miss the Jessops of old, and the old style shops in general. The standard of camera shops has gone downhill. long gone are the days when you could walk into a shop and spend an hour talking to an assistant that new his/her stuff, and browse through all the used equipment. We used to have at least four in my area like that.
Now we have the internet. Much more information, and from many more sources. I can find out all I need to know without stirring from my comfortable armchair. Then a quick phone call, and next day the kit arrives.

Miss the exercise, though.

Sooner have a good root through a decent camera shop, If I can find one

As for exercise George, all you need is a dog, lead, camera backpack, job sorted. oh and a hip flask helps

But no-one will pay a price that can support that sort of camera shop.
No not now John, I totally agree.

Dont remember Dixons doing used stuff (maybe I'm to young)but as I recall they sold the brand names Chinnon and Miranda, and another that I cant remember.

Apparently I should have taken it to the animal hospital, but it looked ok and was actively looking for food, that's why I put the cat meat out for it and left it alone. Not seen it since but we've got plenty cats now!!
Here's another photo of old Spikey, had a bit more time to play about with this shot. Let me know what you think. And that's a really good site spider, very informative.

Cheers.

Could be muck on the focusing screen which can be removed and cleaned, but not a job I would be confident of doing. Give Pentax a call and ask there advice, you can email them as well. www.pentax.co.uk/ - 6k -
