You could withdraw an item for legitimate reasons, for example it has been broken after the listing started, but it's not a good principle and shouldn't be done lightly.

Unfortunately sometimes things get sold for silly low prices, but they still have to be sold. It can hurt!

Pictures sized already for ePHOTOzine would be ideal.

72ppi
Max 1000 ptxels on longest size
200K file size

would load quickly. Maybe 1000 pixels is a little wide for some, but it's manageable and saves resizing specially.

Welcome to the forum!

There's no reason why you shouldn't and you can probably still buy the adapter new.

The only limitation may be that a lens designed for 6x7 will not have as high a resolution as one designed for a smaller format. The reason being that large format negatives do not need enlarging as much as small format ones.

I have never tried this, nor do I know anyone who has, so maybe the best bet would be to find a dealer with stock who would let you pop them on the camera and try it out.

I'm not totally sure, but it might be the soft case for the *ist film SLR.

But what happens if the external hard drive fails?

I was surprised at how bad colour negatives are after 30 years or so. The colours are all over the place and the different layers decay at different rates, so correction is not simple.

Scanning and Photoshop gives reasonably good resulte, but after 40 years who knows if even that will be possible.

Colour slides fare better in most cases, especially Kodachrome if it's been stored in a dark, cool environment. Kodachrome is good for may decades at least, although it fades fater than E-6 under projection conditions.

The best bet is black and white film archivally processed and stored in archival sleeves. It could have a life of hundreds of years...

How many of us actually look at our slides and negatives?

At closer distances the macro lens might show higher resolution and sharpness and certainly a flatter field. For portraits this could actually be undesireable as it might not be flattering enough!

Both will give you the ability to tackle portraiture and depending on the lens you might add a soft focus filter or some adjustment in Photoshop.

I would think the macro lens would be the more versatile choice, albeit it a more expensive one.

If you make large prints of high quality you may be astounded by the excellence of your M lenses.

If you only ever make small prints or only use your monitor, there will be little difference.

All your lenses, old and new, will give you superb results. The 50-200mm is a belter, especially at the price, and is well worth adding to your lens repertoire.
