It would be no doubt helpful to them if you pointed out that there may be an error, although eventually I'm sure that most sellers would notice.

I put £1250.00 once as a shipping charge, but I'd have been a bit miffed to find myself described as daft on a forum, as though I meant it. The item sold with the correct shipping of £12.50 applied.

Interestingly, I couldn't change the listing, maybe because there was a bid on it already. I think if I'd insisted on £1250.00 shpping it might have been legally correct, but I would have made the newspapers!

A 10 day turnaround is like going back to the dark days of the 1970s when a simple D&P package would take 3 weeks from that lab in Stevenage that Dixons used.

How can we stand the suspense waiting so long?

Anyway, how was the quality of the film you sent? Was the colour good?

The RS1000 was actually very good, so the new one will hopefully have similar qualities. It seems to capture the idea of a small, quality, fun camera very well and should appeal to a different target audience.

I think it's a nice idea.

IIRC the 50mm f1.2 lenses take 52mm filters.

If you are entering a competition then the biggest criterion is to follow the instructions. Otherwise you risk your image being rejected.

1024x768 and around 200-300K is fine for projection or screen viewing. I wouldn't use a smaller image as, even if it's allowed, it will compromise the quality against the other entries.

A limit of 200K is a bit mean for complex images, but the rules are the rules.

Looking at this another way, people will know it's a camera bag as soon as you start shooting pictures. You could then be followed until your guard drops enough for the bag to be snatched, so nothing is foolproof.

I just use a well used Billingham Hadley Pro that won't fool anyone who knows, but being black is relatively unobtrusive. It also is fairly flat to the body, so looks less photographic than some other designs.

Billingham bags are superb, but expensive. They protect equipment with superb padding and are quickly accessed. Waterproofing is also of a very high standard.

I've had a word with a friend who is in the business of asbestos removal.

His advice is to leave asbestos alone. "If left, the danger is not great, but if disturbed it's extremely hazardous. Although in theory a single fibre is enough to cause trouble...

He wears a mask marked P3 and this will protect. He uses a compete rubber mask, but a P3 mask should suffice."

His advice, as above, is offered as told to me.

Please take extreme care.

The click is probably the focus drive pin engaging.

You do? I do? I'll look into that...
