Interesting responses.....

I have read that the lomo 110 film has to have a tag cut off so that the camera reads the the ISO correctly. Is this correct?

Is there only Lomo film and is it only available as B&W 100 ISO and 200 colour?

John The darkroom ltd do not advertise processing and printing 110 film, is it a special job for them?

you have a coop Our department store closed last year -sold out to another retail chain that is nown sizing!

I see from another post that it is possible to buy 110 film again. Does this mean that a pentax auto 110 is a good fun camera again.

Who has one- what do you think that its best points are? What lenses and accessories are worth considering in a purchase?

austerity measures dave - we all have to feel the pain

Both the managers above me are off with stress since the so called 'new ways of working' were introduced.


I spend my time hiding or looking busy.

where do you get such interesting job lots Kris?

but Dave it is still early evening

I have a CCS holster that I want to attach to the D rings on my ruscksack straps. This way I don't have to delve into a backpack when I want to use the camera.

Has anyone got a suggestion for where I could get some straps that would do this?

And an update.

My PU plus membership has save me about £50 in the last 3 months. I've saved postage and had a discount on Pentax bits from SRS and a genuine discount on a repair from Johnstones. When added to my enjoyment of the site I would say I am now convinced that the small subscription is well worth it.

Just got back from the Highlands. I was helping a friend with some filming for his research. We were in Glen Nevis when the hordes of bity things descended

We had to rush the work and head out fast. Our combination of bog mytrle, DEET and skin so soft hardly kept the evil ones from biting.

An hour later we were filming again in Glencoe when my friend complained of midges on the lens of his camera. I said get on with the job - its time for tea. He carried on moaning about the midges and I realised that there were none flying around. Yes the little horrors had get inside the video camera lens system Well MR Grumpy was very Grumpy all night. No more research filming/time wasted/have to return home you can imagine the situation.Only beer saved the night.

The next morning no midges on the lens! Missing presumed deceased! I still can't work out how they got behind the fromt element of the lens.

there is still an excellent open air pool at Ilkley.

Off to Hadrians Wall country for the week. Thank goodness the temperature is set to drop. I hate hot holidays
