Are you a Time Traveller? You seem to be posting somewhere from the future...

Many websites use as much all singing, dancing bells and whistles as they can with little or no thought to how these sites are used by the disabled, or whether they can use them at all.
I'm pretty sure that will be because they have no experience of being deaf or blind and just literally have not thought about it. It won't be deliberate, more a sin of ommission.

It's a good thing to sensitively bring the problems to everyone's attention and hopefully as time goes by more and more people can feel included rather than excluded. We have tried to do that at our Photo Society, but of course are limited by whatever we imagine might be useful.

I don't mind the style of the photography, although it's not what I like as such, because if it's a style that sells and pleases the customers then it's doing its job. I think you've done a good job as a photographer and I'm sure there will be plenty of clients.

The site itself is IMHO too fussy and too slow (even with 8Mb Broadband) and it needs too much patience to look at. I did look at it all, but I kept wanting to hurry it up and came close to quitting several times.

With websites I persevere with fast, simple ones.

My fault, I misread your intent.

Difficult to be precise, but what might you get on eBay...

MX tatty, if you get a sale at all, then very little value. £20 if it's working OK, but good ones fetch good prices and are sought after.

P30 Good. Prices are poor. £15-£25

Pentax 50 f1.7 depends on K, M or A, but £10-£30 depending on buyer mood.
Pentax 50 f2 as above £5-£20
Tokina 35-70mm f3.5 £10-£15
Vivitar 75-205mm f3.8 £10-£15

That's my opinion anyway, but if you get two or more buyers in a determined mood you could be lucky. Mostly not exciting items I'm afraid, hope your friend isn't too disappointed.

Hope that helps!

We've had four 18-55mm so far (always worth getting one with a body purchase) and all of them have been very capable lenses. Slightly soft wide open (although not as bad a a 50mm f2 I had) making it useful for soft portraits, but very sharp stopped down.

Sue still uses a 18-55mm and she does some stunning photography with it.
