What is it with these cash back people. Claimed in November and they still have issues with the written receipt from SRS.
Has anyone else suffered this problem?
Sent a copy at least four weeks ago but they now claim this not received.
And it is three cheers for SRS who have spoken to Pentax UK on my behalf and tell me that the refund has been authorised.
Am now awaiting the cash into my bank.
Pentax need to sort this out. I shall think twice in future to being lured into a cash back offer.

Found some inexpensive W.H.Smiths small stamp mounts that enables removal of pictures leaving the mount reusable.
Works fine for me and acceptable for competition use.

In the early 1950's mine was the Agfa Sillette compur rapid in its smart brown leather case which I still have.

The Pentax ME Super much later kindled my serious interest in photography sending my films away to Wallace Heaton in London for development to be returned to enable a choice for printing. Usually three weeks before the actual prints came back. How very different now.

George. Missed you. Thought it might have been an extended hangover. Sorry about the bronc. Pleased you have pulled through and back posting.

Reaching up to touch 80 but not that age has anything to do with attitude, but mostly ability.
When I read some of the technical jargon on here it might as well be dutch or whatever, but what the heck. So long as I am above ground there are things to do and enjoy but mostly it is this Forum that fills up my day.
I am in the middle of fitting a securiy light but is has just started to pour down. (nearely said a naughty word there, but John is watching!!)Ah well!! Gives me time on here.

That someone who has been such a valuable help and inspiration to me personally should feel the need to leave this forum is a real disapointment.
We all feel stress in our lives at times and can release this in a inappropriate way.
I would like to think that this is the case here.
Mowag, I will miss you and would ask that you take time out and realise that we are not all as you have painted, and for those of us who value your contribution, come back and share your knowledge and expertise with us, pleaase.

Rob I have bought this and found it very helpful. It certainly is the best I have found yet. Helped me no end to discover what the K5 is all about. I can thoroughly reccommend it.

Like so many other members on this Forum, I started out with a similar viewpoint.

It was only after I started post processing and realised how much better I could change my picture that I then was able to see my mistakes.

Am I wrong in believing that seeing a better result has taught me to take better pictures.

You can read all the books printed on photography but nothing beats experience. Seeing a picture transformed by simple post processing never ceases to amaze me.

I commend this experience to you.

The window is a large Swedish style double glazed window with panes 3 inched apart and centrally pivited and weighted to stay at 20 degrees when opened. Opening it would not help me but would certainly send the birds and squirrels away.
It can be held open in warm days but divorce papers would pop through the door to hold it open in this weather.

It is so frustrating to see the creatures just feet away and unable to get sharp pictures...but that is the photographers lot.

Thanks for the suggestions. Roll on the warm weather.

Not so much a problem but need good advice.

There are times when it is the only option. I always get an effect that degrades the picture. Have tried a polarizer without any real success.

Is there a filter that will reduce or eliminate glare and reflection?
Does double glazing create its own problem?

I am aware to get as near the glass as possible. Sometimes it is not possible.

Can shooting through glass fool the lens into spoiling the sharp image?

I am sure a member has cracked this. I would really appreciate advice.
