Beautiful images, and very fitting titles Andrew. I'd love to visit this place. The colours in the slate in Blocked Up are wonderful... softest purples, browns, and pistacio greens.

Apart from geographical location, which I feel is a legitimate concern with the reliability of postal services varying from country to country, I generally feel more confident selling to someone with more of a presence on the forum than just a handful of posts. Although as Mike knows, this isn't any guarantee there aren't going to be problems... That said, I sold some items to you with no problems after we discussed where we stood by pm.

By the way, there's a nice little shop in Pershore. They often have a few Pentax bits. But it's a small shop,
total luck of the draw whether they have anything interesting in stock. Great for random things from the ubiquitous and wonderful 'bargain bin' of oddments.

I think if you're stocking your shop with ebay bargains you'd need a full-time buyer to keep up - I know I run a search for "Pentax" and "Takumar" every morning and I still miss things.

Lol I don't know about that but i've sold items to camera shops a few times. I guess when your not looking for something specific it helps- and you can sell with a bit more of a mark up if your a shop that offers customer support, warranties etc.

Given the surge in interest in photography and old lenses, it's a pity some shops struggle to keep up. The ones that are doing well have an online presence and keep prices sane. Ebay is as much a source of bargain stock for them as it is for us.

Although I have to say I don't believe a word they say on DXO because in the past they have always marked Pentax cameras down on purpose .... (according to the members on Pentaxforums.com)

Lol... Was going to say we don't have to keep repeating the mantra that dxo's results are meaningless in the real world any more!

That's much better... upping the sharpness and contrast a bit makes the branch stand out against the background nicely.

Loevely shots, especially the Birds Nest Stadium. Perfect subject for a UWA. Wish I could afford this lens!

A bit lacking in the composition department perhaps? All the interest seems pushed to the edges - and unfortunately the edges are also a bit soft.

Many people have photographers for the funeral and to take open-casket pictures of their dead relatives in the coffin.

Dif'rent strokes, I guess
