Lived in Portsmouth for many years before moving to Bournemouth and now Spain.
Lived in Tangiers road if you know it .. my parents had a grocery shop on the opposite corner to the Tangiers pub and I went to school at what is now some sort of college at the end of the road.

I would say £100 if it has the 1:1 extension with it.
No more.

I am actually considering selling my 72B as I have my Vivitar 100mm f2.8 macro as well.

Currently I am fighting against myself not to buy a K20D, the extra crop factor qnd higher ISO over my K10D would be nice but they are not really THAT important to me at the moment.
Had the Liveview been implimented properly and given 1:1 zoom for focus I would have bought one a while ago for macro use.

I have the above handbook it's in excellent condition.

Is anyone interested in obtaining this now obsolete handbook?

Offers?
Do we have to drive over and pick it up?

The first one is good but personally I would drop the exposure a bit so as to darken the background a bit but more importantly the butterfly itself (it may just be my laptop screen but it seems very bright to me).
Also, pity you didnt get the whole butterfly in there.

The wolf, I would clone out the branches that are out of focus on top of his body. Nice pic though.

I love the bird but again it seems a bit bright to me .. which brings be to the conclusion it could well be my laptop screen.

Mine cost me £250 used (mint) in May of last year so personally I think you are aiming a little high as well.

Turning off the camera and back on again should get the camera onto the good battery.
Tried that a few times and it just died on me each time.

Provided it is 100% functional (I've come accross one once that didn't transmit the aperture correctly - by a third or a half stop - due to some mechanical issue)
All 3 of my PK/A mounts overexpose on all of my Adaptall 2 lenses, I think its a "Feature".
