No idea Doug, I think he said that power was available lower down the mountain, but it was a long time ago.

Wind up charger should do it!

Nothing is infallible and it doesn't find everything, but it does find an amazing number of matches. There was a serious matter that I had to look into and it was very helpful in locating matches from all over the web.

Not 100% of them though.

Actually a friend who climbed Everest told me that recharging batteries wasn't a problem, which seems like an odd contradiction Doug.

Who can say. You hand held the camera, so both the camera and the subject will be moving to some degree. Judging the point of focus under such conditions isn't very precise.

I wouldn't call it super-sharp but that will also depend on how the image for the web has been prepared. Too many variables....

Tracing the owner of a work is as simple as using www.tineye.com or a similar web resource. Try it and see. You can even rapidly toggle between images to prove they are the same.

Everest is fine for photography, but batteries need to be kept warm. Personally I would take a WG-3 as things stand at the moment and if I was buying new.

As for lower down and the rest of the holiday, a weatherproof compact plus the K-5 and its usual lenses.

Clearly used, but with good clear glass. Perfect for experimenting with screw thread lenses or for use in arduous conditions. In other words, it's expendable so can be put at risk. These are actually pretty good lenses, on film anyway. I haven't tried it on digital.

Your for just £5.00 plus postage. Postage is £3.50 UK, £5.50 EU and £8.50 Worldwide.

Preferred payment method is PayPal. I will cheerfully pay the fees.

The inside is fine, the clip works well. It's only let down by corrosion on the exterior, as shown. If you fancy cleaning it up, it's on offer for £3.50 + Postage. Postage is £1.50 UK, £2.50 EU and £4.00 worldwide.

Preferred payment is PayPal and I'll happily pay the fees.
