Car boot sales and the bargain bin of old style camera shops are likely places to pick up a cable release. Although i'm sure if you posted an ad in the classifieds here, someone would help you out.

I was going to offer you my spare, but I threw it in with an MG body I sold recently.

Sounds good to me, Stephen.

Beautiful shot and conversion i-berg, althoug I agree with the rest re the vignette. I don't
like it when vignettes make the sky go grey.

Andrew- love that detail of the Fordson Major badge.

Using a film slr was useful, for me, because it acquainted me with the basics, without the many distractions you get on a DSLR. All my camera had was an aperture ring and a speed dial, and green/orange leds in the viewfinder. I sometimes wonder how newbies cope with all the buttons and settings on new DSLRs - and unfortunately the entry level models are the worst for this!

Thanks very much. Yes I think I got carried away with the effect of minimal dof in no. 3!

No. 1 wins for me. The lighting is more even though, which might explain it.

40mm?

Junk-shop lens fun during my lunch hour, in the glasshouse in Jephson Gardens, Leamington.

The first three are with the Sigma 'miniwide' 24mm wide-open at f2.8.
