This was first mooted for 35mm cameras in the 1970s and it's not a bad idea in many ways.

On the other hand, in a world which is going widescreen it would seem counter-intuitive to go squarer when everyone else is going wider.

Time to dust off the Rolleiflex?

Does the stacking software change the shape of the object at all?

I always take blobs with a pinch of salt!

iBooks are as good as any coffee table book. £45 for a 44 page book, hardcover with dust jacket. Brilliant.

Yes, otherwise someone could continually modify their entry in the light of what came after, which would be very unfair. I would disqualify a replaced image personally, but that's up to each judge.

So one roll of the die only!

It was always a pleasure to disappear for a day into the darkroom - I couldn't even contemplate spending the time these days.

But there is no substitute for printing your own images, be it silver prints or inkjets.

Pentax MX, SMC Pentax 24mm f2.8 lens or SMC Pentax-M 20mm f4 lens, Kodak Tri-X, Red filter, Paterson FX39 developer and Agfa black and white paper.

Happiness for many years!

It's because the SR system can't read the focal length off A series lenses, so it has to be input manually.

Last year it was very much about Photo Books and that is one thing we want to look at again.

It is a good chance to look at camera bags, get free ones with magazine subscriptions (again...) and generally check out the things we don'y normally get to see in one venue.

Which 'spotty' has a bayonet mount John?
I'm stretching the point to include cameras that never made it into production....but you could claim that the Pentax KM was a Spotmatic F with a bayonet mount.
