Have a look in Ffordes, luckily for you, in Beauly, http://www.ffordes.com/contactus
I've found Ffordes prices a bit rich for me ,plus didn't find them terribly helpful on my last visit there, they seemed a bit disinterested that i was more interested in the older rather than the newer stock . That was a year or so ago .

You don't pay Ebay fees as a buyer
Yeh i know that ,there's not the same bargains nowadays because of the selling fees . Maybe should've explained that .

Now in another thread i'd posted up on here i asked about the Sears range of lenses ,they seem to be fantastic value,i read about them on the Pentaxforum ,anyone on here heard or have any of the lenses.

There's some nice shots in there. I like #4. You probably know this already but you have some muck on your sensor. couple of spots at an angle in the upper half of the frame
Love the username by the way . As for the dust bunnies I've given them a blast

What is the problem?

one thing i do notice is that you use ISO200 while you could have doubled your exposure if you used ISO100.

Was out and about this morning trying out my newly acquired ND 10 stopper .When i downloaded them onto PC i was very disheartened by my results ,i'm possibly putting this down to user error . Anyway i've put a link to some of the photos i captured this morning maybe sombody will come along and tell me what they think i've done wrong here . One mistake i know for sure is that i shot them in jepeg when i should have used RAW .

Evening folks,
I love trying to do macro ,i find it fascinating ,is there a cheaper way apart from buying the expensive dedicated Macro lens . Not keen on the reversing ring idea of things ,far too worried about damaging my camera as well as lens .

I keep reading peoples comments on the Tamron Adaptall 2 lenses ,they seem to be a good option to try ,my question is ...which one to go for ?if indeed these are any good .

Thanks for looking i await any input .
