Nice colours and style. Not quite sure about the splash of yellow and the glass.

I've never heard that one either. What does it mean?

Jessops stopped doing second hand probably about six years ago, so hardly recently!

I have to agree with Mhuni that you have excluded lots of places that pose no threat to postal deliveries. For example, I have sent lots of things to the Russian Federation with no problems or delays.

I think the first thing you need to do is to put a Pentax lens on the camera. Pentax do not guarantee performance with other makes of lens, especially as this is such an old one. The lens collimation could be way out.

What lens is this? I'm not familiar with any Pentax 55mm f1.7.

As soon as the Editor of the Echo reads the above comment SmutjeUK, the freelance opportunities for that publication may drastically reduce....

A strange question, made twice, for no apparent reason.

Of course it's not OK to do damage to any building, abandoned or not.

It is the manual focussing that I want to improve since the clearly-defined focus zone on the ground-glass isn't precisely where the actual sensor image is sharp.

That is something findamentally out of adjustment. If the distance from lens to ground glass and from lens to sensor is not the same then you will never achieve focus with an SLR. If it is the same, as it should be, then what is sharp on the ground glass will be sharp on the sensor.

I can't specifically recommend any slide cleaning fluid, but a web search will no doubt find products labelled as such. Do Jessops still sell one? Maybe one of the darkroom suppliers can help.
