Thank goodness SRS don't offer finance!

You'd have thought the seller would have tried to work out what he had before the sale started! Oh well, a bargain for someone. EDIT - actually £20 is a bit high for one of these, let alone one with bits missing, I got the F version in mint condition for a few quid more

I think some of the DA ltds can be used, but are not optimised for film with the quality dropping off towards the edge of the frame. Although the 70mm doesn't look too bad, and you'd be OK with the subject roughly central, and the background deliberately thrown out of focus. The new DA 35mm is a different matter as it's so clearly based on the FA 35mm, whereas the DA ltds are new designs with no precursor from the days of film.

I heard Michael Eavis talk about this - it's a bit of both

Why not get her on Facebook. She may also be able to get in touch with old friends etc. Other than that, flickr's my favourite, and I prefer the way they process your shots into different sizes ( they seem to get a quick sharpen-up or maybe it's just my eyes.

Oh and 3 mobile internet is pretty good and about as fast as a regular internet connection usually.

And now you have the 77ltd for a comparison too John

That's an Aladdin's cave of kit! What sort of work do you do Geo?

Arctic Butterfly seems to be quite popular, and avoids the need for a wet clean or blowing crud up into the viewfinder. Perhaps that is the way to go.

No idea of whether it's deemed good practice, but I had the same issue and just puffed the rocket blower up into the viewfinder area (in a careful controlled manner), holding the camera with the mount facing downwards so hopefully any 'bits' fall out and not straight back on the sensor!

It worked after a few tries.

After that I was more careful re the strength of 'puff' I used on the rocket blower, and the angle, and holding the camera with the mount facing down while I did it.

Haven't had any dust problems on the K7, despite habitually changing lenses when I'm out and about.

Getting rid of dust spots is a doddle with the Heal tool, btw.

Love those doors in shot 7.
