Paris Hilton's Q? That's half an IQ, presumably.

G

The power of advertising!

Learn to be happy with what you have, and make the best of what you've got. Otherwise, you'll spend your life "upgrading" to no effect other than to lighten your wallet.

G

No. I don't.

At the end, a voice says Asahi Pentax, but pronounces the first word Asashi. Is that the correct pronunciation?

G

Favourite, (though not most used) is without question the 77.

Most used (when I had one) was the 16-50. If I were only allowed one lens, this would be it.

If I were allowed two, it would be the above two, and if three, I would add the 50-135. However, the last, Tyr, cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be classed as a an all-rounder.

If four, the 12-24 would be added, and if five, the 300.

So, thank you for inspiring me to take stock. I have a few lenses for sale!

Just as people used to buy film in bulk and freeze it, I wonder whether it would be worth buying a lot of Kodak ink and storing it somewhere cool (freezing might be a bad idea).

In a year's time it might be difficult to get Kodak ink (or expensive) and compatible stuff is seldom as good as the original.

At least with a printer, they cost so little that if you have to throw it away, it won't be the end of the world.

Although a much smaller company, Blacks Leisure recently went under, and the assets were immediately purchased from the administrator, which was cheaper than buying the company before it went down.

The same could easily happen to Kodak. I can't see many people wanting to buy the company, with all its unknown liabilities. I suspect that it will disappear totally, just like Woolworths and Blacks. There is apparently some intellectual property in the form of patents which will have a value, but I don't see the printer division finding a buyer, especially in the current market.

G

I'll have a search through mine. These things can so easily be forgotten or overlooked.

G

I've now sent a PM as well.

G

Whoops. I thought I had sent a PM, but it's ended up as a comment on your photo gallery - which doesn't have a lot in it!

Cheers
