Reading comments relating to use of the app on its own, people report good results. Maybe worth a try?

I knew there was a reason I kept all those body and lens boxes! SWMBO never has believed me.

"Steph takes her modelling very seriously and its quite rare to find her smiling "

There's serious - professional - and there's serious - unsmiling. I believe she should let herself shine through.

She can be professional but still relax and have fun.

See if you can persuade her to add a smile - even a little one. 😁 She might be pleasantly surprised by the results.

Number 2 for me, but the lack of a smile, even a hint of one, and the 'dead' eyes make it impossible for me to engage with the model. It's almost like a set of still life photos, or Mrs May with Putin at the G20. 🤔

Personally I'd have told eBay too late and remind them of their own processes and buyer/seller obligations.

They adjudicated in your favour, gave you a full refund which you didn't ask for. Keep the lens and the full refund and leave eBay to make their peace with their special seller.

Welcome! How is Pentax regarded in Japan by Japanese? I get the impression from other boards globally that we Pentaxians are niche players and that commercially Pentax simply doesn't get much shelf room.

For me it's a shame the lily pads/leaves are in the shot, as my brain is struggling to resolve which way is up.

Seeing this thread https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/our--greenhouse-12193 reminded me of names I no longer see posting, and just wondered what happened to them all?

The 'Looking for England' one is repeated tonight on BBC-4 (and HD) at 23:00, in case anyone missed it.

And Thursday morning at 03:00, for the insomniacs among us.
I can find the 3am showing, but not the 11pm one. Not listed on the BBC site. Have they changed the scheduling?
Well, I managed to record it OK and it was in the Radio Times (yeah, I know, I'm old fashioned), so possibly they got the listing wrong on the web-site.

Ah, is it possible you thought the 23:00 showing was today (27th) not yesterday (26th)? I should probably have explicitly stated the date in my post. Sorry.
My bad. Dates_age_confusion!
