Many thanks folks

Aye, Ebay ... so far my 'satisfaction rating' with it is around 75%, ie 50% of purchases good, 25% very-good to excellent and 25% a waste of money. Good to hear of folks getting good deals though.

I have an advert (prob around 196 from Amateur Photographer for a brand new Praktica Super TL .. only £124 with Tessar lens - at the time I was earning around £19 a week so it was well over a month's wages ... but it was almost the D200/D-ist/Eos 300D of its day! I stil regret not buying a Reid that I saw in Marston & Heard's shop in Leytonstone for £60 ...

Folks,

I have several 'F' , S-Tak and SMC-Tak lenses but only a SV and SP1 body - so some 25 years late I am thinking of buying a SPF. At fairs they vary in price (and more so in condition) but I haven't seen a decent one for over a year.

I do not know what I should expect to pay for a really nice one from a dealer (they are uncommon). Any suggestions please?

I have an offer of a SPF+55/1.8 at £99 Exc++ with 6 month guarantee - do I bite his arm off or shop around?

Many thanks

And a bag of salted nuts Arthur!

I'm a bit late on this thread but ... Gordon & McPhaill have 'recently' released some new bottlings of unusual whiskies including Lochside (dist. now closed) at sensible prices - Murray rates it very highly - I have one to drink (not yet tried) and one for the "Pension Fund" - previous bottling was selling at 100GBP - new one is around 25GBP.

Photographically ... whisky is an essential element in the full appreciation of Scottish landscapes .... etc
