Just using a new 12V battery charger for the first time. It's got Bluetooth... . Had to download an app to the phone and connect to the charger so I could see voltage, current and charging mode. Slightly more interesting than watching paint dry.

Hope you don't get a phone call or you may miss something!

Stan, the Firefox extension, Image Downloader will enable you to do that (I've just tried it on your images and it works just fine .)

Whether logging into your account gives you a direct method I've no idea.

Take it you're not thinking of getting an enlarger too to print the negs?

Thank you.
Presuming it is, this is the moth that looks like tree bark when resting.

I have noticed a trend that when they talk about the 'standard' focal length and the it's the diagonal of the 36x 24mm frame which happens to be 43mm, bypass the Limited and talk of the 45mm M43 lens from panasonic or the 50s from Canon and Nikon.
Perhaps its just as well or all the 43s would end up going to the destructive graveyard for Pentax lenses that is mirrorless.
Mind, the Pentax 43mm isn't a well known lens outside the Pentax user base. More will know of the older M 40mm pancake or the more usual 50mm which used to be sold as a package with a body before zooms became the norm.
Probably its for the best if our better lenses remain as secret jewels.

We've seen a lot of rainbows recently (in more ways than one.) Who can't resist taking a photograph of a rainbow when they see one? So Rainbow is the theme for this week's competition.
Submit your entries here (link).

There's nothing I can see on their website or social media pages to suggest that.

I have got one but TBH find the weight of it excessive for a 50mm prime so been considering moving it on.
