Wow, I'm blown away that superzooms have reached that level. bit of a no brainer then really

I've decided to go for a K-m and a "holiday" lens (18-250) to minimise what I lug around the forest with the dogs at the weekends. So, to help fund it, I have to get rid of the K100D and kit lens. Don't want to, but that's life I suppose

I'll probably be putting it on Ebay this coming weekend, but thought I'd see if anyone here is after either/both first - afterall, you have all been nice to me, so far

No idea what it will fetch, so if interested, please don't make silly offers in case I say yes by mistake

Full working order, no scuffs, bashes or scratches. Lens ditto. Can supply other info that I haven't thought of on request.

Cheers,
Graham

Makes you wonder how an eyelash got in there!

After many years with Canon, I now use Epson. Not sure if it still holds, but Canon wouldn't print even white borders with other software other than their own - which may not be the case now.

Currently using an Epson 285. I like the driver because in Advanced mode I can adjust the colours individually in the same way I'm used to when making Cibachrome prints. The cartridges can be a mare because they stop working when they decide the ink has run out (usually up to 30 percent remaining). However, the individual carts have a memory reset button hidden above the chip which resets the memory to a more accurate reflection of the content.

Try to go for a six or seven colour printer, not the cheaper four colour. With OEM or Jettec ink you'll get lab quality results. Expect to pay around 200 ish for a decent A4, and 350 up for a decent A3.

All IMHO

£260? Are you sure? I've seen them for 59 quid!

Someone's putting hope above reason asking for that much, surely!

Hi All,

I'm thinking about a holiday lens, ie a superzoom for when I want reasonable pictures but don't want to carry a full gadget bag. What's the general feeling about 18-200s? Are they as dreadful as I fear they might be?

NO! Don't dump it! Search Fleabay to find out why! For some reason they are still sought after (though to be fair the lens wasn't all that bad, pretty reasonable in fact). A new Lubitel 166 retails for a quid short of sixty, and the older and better made 2 can fetch almost as much.

On our old Mac, iPhoto RAW support started to happen after the 10.4.3 OSX update. if you're running Tiger make sure you're fully updated with patches etc (blue 'Apple' at top left, then Software Update...) then it should work fine.

I have a lens that's become very stiff to focus, and the aperture pre-set ring too loose. Who is the generally accepted reliable repairers for non-Pentax lenses?

BURMA!

Sorry, I panicked
