Japan is brilliant and since my old parent company originated from Osaka I went there twice...

My 100 mm macro comes from Osaka (courtesy of a very friendly Japanese colleague)...

The 14 might've been a 'special' edition - things are sold that can't be sold in the EU. Shelves in Japan, from memory, were crammed with stuff we could only dream of...

and I remember when the price of cards came down and we celebrated the fact that 1GB came under £100 at last, so in the space of 16-17 years, these cards are approx 0.1% less than of what you would've paid then...

Google North Ferriby United and 2015, my one and only experience and it was extremely painful...just the very mention of the name of the place.


Nice lens, good price too...must dig out my trio sometime.

I have the last variant of the Nikon Coolscan - anything pre-Win7 is ok. Nikon didn't support drivers for anything after Vista, so you might have to invest in VueScan - some people say a one-off payment keeps you supported for some 'time' but it seems not if you are transferring from one machine to another....

Welcome to the forum

Do you have the box, pouch etc? Where was it made?
Not if from North Ferriby - that name and it's ex-football club brings back very, very bad memories of 2015.

Only £400!?? This is a high quality telephoto f4 zoom lens - which combined with the 1.4 becomes an 84-350mm f5.6....

If you are not too worried about 4mm then why not an FA*?

Sandisk Extreme Pro are so inexpensive these days and the 95 mb/S will be more than sufficient. I actually don't bother checking which card goes in (I've got cards of varying ages) and they all work very well. The info in the link Mike provided is very useful as it tells you how big the buffer is - a good deal bigger than eg the equivalent Nikon (D7100/D7200)....

Throw some water over them and then pour water over the K-5.

I always mock Canon users when they cover their cameras even in slightly damp conditions.
