Windows explorer can show the the pixel dimensions if set up to do that as will photo info in PS Elements. If it's in Elements I can't believe it won't be in the full product! That dimension figure is critical to your solution.

Yes, and this was my issue. There are no borders on my uploaded pics. They wanted me to crop or shrink to fit, which I didn't do, as they were exactly as they needed to be. They agreed they weren't right, but the next batch have different photos with borders. I certainly won't use Photobox again.
What were the pixel dimensions of your 7x5 images? Ideally they'd be 2100X1500 pixels.

Ha, yes! But how many are relevant to a search for that lens? It's a lot to search through to find them!

You're right about some site searches being poor. Thanks for pointing out using the quotes, I thought that might work on PU's (but it doesn't seem to.) The hyphen seems to throw the PU one as I see others have struggled with searches such as K-5 ! Maybe the search engine here needs a tweak to deal with this as hyphens are pretty common in camera and lens names.

Did you try "reflex" as a keyword?
That's a thought, worth a try. What I did get some success with is just putting in: 400 600 and Match all terms. That did at least bring up the thread Google found. Perhaps that's all there is on here about it. Well I have one coming in the post so maybe there'll be another thread very soon!

Thanks to all who have commented - it's always interesting and often stimulating to read what others think.

JAK, Saltwick Bay is all in the timing of the visit, isn't it? I went twice during our stay up there: the first time I arrived as the tide was coming in on a dull day so left disappointed - no way was I going to get stuck on the rocks and cut off by the tide! I timed my second visit to coincide with the low tide time, which gave me plenty of time to potter around, but it was about 8am and little sign of sun or water. You seem to have timed it better - I'm pleased at least that my efforts prompted you to go there, even if the main attraction of the wreck of the Admiral von Tromp was inaccessible! Another visit is definitely called for!
Absolutely right. I need to check the tide tables. It might be good for an early visit with the sun rising. I've passed the turn off to there dozens of times, just didn't know what was down that short track!

I hadn't been to Saltwick Bay before even though I live around 20 miles away however your shots inspired me to take a visit this afternoon. The tide was just starting to go out so I need to go back again, none the less I ended up with quite a few shots this being my favourite:

Thanks for the heads up and inspiration.
