Thank you for that information, John.

I shall look forward to the return of my slides (hopefully) next week.

I am sure nothing has changed.

It was just that I tried the info@bootsprocessing... e-mail address which came back undeliverable and the customer service number which rang and rang. It was probably so, the last time I sent a film away!

The biggest shock was that the postage for small packages was £2.70 (£2.20 second class), where I am sure it was half that last time. I posted yesterday so lets see how long it takes.

Does anyone have recent experience of Boots slide film - are you getting your slides back, as I have another film to send off.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

A most enjoyable set, though I tuned out a bit around the flame and Lord Coe.

They seem to be more like sideways glances at what people were doing at Olympic themed events and very good for that, as most subjects seem to be having fun

Judging by the extreme similarity of my Energiser to its' Pentax equivalent, I would say they both come from that big battery factory in China

Same supplier as the 3rd party ones
Yes, but specified and tested to Pentax's more exacting standards of QC

You could have put the whole number, it's unlikely someone is going to use a battery date for anything sinister
Are you sure?

Actually it is 201101 (camera purchased 05/2011, oh no I've given too much away :wink but I couldn't check as it was sitting on the charger as I wrote and I didn't want to interrupt it!

I have one Pentax DLi90 which came with the camera and it bears a code starting 201xxx.

Is it the plastic cover or the glass underneath?

I dropped something on my K5 and the plastic cover broke into 3. When I pulled out the pieces I was pleased to see the glass underneath was ok.

It cost about £9 to get a replacement by post from Johnsons
