I wanted to send existing pics but was unaware that just opening a jpg causes it to deteriorate - I thought that was only caused by saving it.

As gwing said. It doesn't make any difference how often you open and close any file, including a JPEG.

If you alter it and resave it as a JPEG then it will get progressively worse every time you do so. Try it and see.

HD seems to mean better, if we agree lower flare is better. If we want flare for some reason then it would be worse for that.

Better is always relative to requirements.

The SMC coatings are very good indeed and continue to serve us well on many lenses. However, the new HD coatings take this to new levels.

In the case of the 70mm I did find it to be slightly prone to flare, so I'd tend to go for the HD version if possible. It is a gorgeous lens in any event.

Either way, it's looking as though eventually it will all disappear off the edge of the cliff. Just a matter of time?

I've disguised that e-mail address to protect your Greek friend! Is he happy to have his e-mail shared in public?

Why not? Lots of people want to enter their images, so why should they not have the opportunity?

If an individual doesn't want to, then they are not forced to either.

It sounds like whatever senses the film has initially been wound enough isn't doing its job.

Why not initially contact one of the repair houses by phone and see what they say. If they know immediately what the problem is they might be able to estimate the cost for you.

Asahi Photo or Harrow Technical seem likely places to start.

Interestingly I've found my K-5 files can take more sharpening than the K-7 files. Don't know why this should be.

They have different sensors and different resolution.

My feeling is that some of the effects in Photoshop really are the worst side of Photoshop. Pushing a button isn't in itself art, although with serious intent and for a purpose it could be. Some effects make superb images, maybe canvas style effects with still life subjects being one example where I've seen some exciting stuff.

Art has to have some message that creates a response in the viewer, whereas these are I'm afraid just painting by numbers.
