Bruff.

I'm sure you don't need help with superior.

For those who don't know, this is the motorcycle upon (or off) which Lawrence of Arabia came to an early end.

I find rechargeables go on and on for hundreds of shots. Perhaps you have a problem with yours, or with the camera.

I have found that it is better to stick to one format - RAW. Using a good RAW converter, like Capture One, actually makes image processing quicker and easier than using JPEG.

The point to remember is that RAW is never worse than JPEG, and usually better. Why take the risk of using an inferior format?

When I shot film, I always tried to load it verycarefully so as to maximise the number of exposures. You should always be able to get 37 out of a 36 exposure film.

Mac,

You are correct about the little leather pouches - and JR was therefore not quite correct to say that dots are not applied to current lenses. They are - to two of them. For some reason the 43 is undotted.

And Mac, my last lens transaction was a sale. So will the next twenty be, probably. Perhaps I can interest you in a nice little M series number?

JR left out lenses with green dots. Any idea what they are?

And Mac, I don't buy lenses any more.

The only reason to have AF on a macro lens is so that you can use it for non-macro pictures. IMHO naturally.

Macro lenses should be sharper than normal lenses. It's a great thrill to get your first macro and see what the word "sharp" really means.

I like the devil. Could I suggest that when pictures are posted, brief details of the kit and exposure are included.

£130 in 1973 is nearer £2,600 today. I bought an SPII that year, and it cost exactly £100, which was then a month's pay.

But then, everything is much, much cheaper now.
