Very imaginative. Well done.

I once tried to sell a M28 mm 3.5 which had a small scuff on the rear element. I did numerous testing and could not tell the images apart from a pristine version.

I accurately described it together with photographs and despite the low starting price got no bids at all.

Trouble with ebay with a less than perfect specimen is the buyer cannot reasonably assess the damage. I certainly wouldn't bid on a lens described like the 20mm subject of this thread, and £85 is madness.

Not my specialist subject unfortunately. Is there not a greenhouse forum somewhere you could try ? I am being half-serious.

If it happens all the time it could be that you have not loaded the film correctly into the "magic needles"

If only sometimes then it is a fault in the winder mechanism. Sounds like it would then need repair.

You must make sure you are not pressing the release button on the camera base while you are winding. As a test why not run a cheap film through it while the back is open and see if you can spot the problem.

Fantastic shot...you have really "captured the moment". I get the impression the bird is going to stomp over to Mr Squirrel and punch him.

Golfdiesel...thank you for your comment.

Darrel....I cant see your pictures without registering on the site.

Concurring with Peter, we do seem to get a raw deal on pricing here.

I noted the post about the wrong camera being used in the Pentax UK advertising...appaling. I emailed them ....will let you know what response I get......if any !

Lovely shot. Belle is a beauty.

I am on my second DSLR, a k10 that I have had for two years now. I am more than happy with it, and it provides all I need for my photography. I have just got a battery grip (thank you Jessops) for it, and there is still plenty I have not got round to using on it. There is no need for me to upgrade/replace yet.

Anyway to answer your question.......... of course I will

I really like the third on. The high-key exposure really suits, giving an impression of isolation.
