I have been offered several chinon lens and told that they will fit the Pentax K. Have read horror stories of lens with a pin that can give grief. Does the chinon lens fit into this catagory, please

Forget the photography. The simplisity, the quality and the workmanship of that oak cross is simply stunning. It will look even better when it has weathered. I can spent a lot of time just looking at it and marveling at its concept and workmanship. It has made my day. Thank you.

Oh! Such memories. I spent many an hour on that metal, bum numbing seat of the binder. Had to keep an eye out that the string did not run out. Many a thick ear from the old hands for dreaming and letting the sheafs our untied.
Lovely shot and full of reminders of how the 'good old days' used to be.

Thanks for the advice. I have been watching prices of some but not all come up for sale. Interested in the 'completed listings' for ebay. How and what is this. As you may have gathered I am not very competent on using Ebay. Have only ever bought three things, never attempted to sell. It is all something of a mystery to me.

What is the general starting price for sales? Is it internet prices, or is it second hand shop prices.
I have a lot of lens I have been asked to shift for a deceased friend. I have no real idea of whether his asking price is correct or not.
Having seen some of the comments here I am somewhat nervous of listing them.
How do others set their prices?

If you are tempted with the 400, I can thoroughly reccomend Gearbee. I have just purchased the FA*300 from him. Nothing was too much trouble. Even found out the delivery depot, name of contact and telephone number.
Just as an aside. He is likely to reduce the price towards the end of the time set. It's a gamble you take.

Tim. You are priviledghed and doing the right thing. I still feel guilty at being so ignorant and actually enjoying the hogs out in daylight but I failed them and they died through exposure to the sun.
I once had to rescue one from the water metre access using a very good leather glove. Great to have in the garden and special when you do meet them foraging at night.
I should imaging that under a decking is almosrt five star lodgings.

Am I missing something. Wireless is different from Infa Red. The wireless is not dependant on seeing the camera and can be triggered through walls etc. I use the hahmel fm receiver and it is brilliant but so are the infa reds so long as you are not photographing wildlife who are spooked by the red light. Setting the camera up and hiding nearby and using Fm really gives you the edge in catching thise shy creatures.

Hedgehogs are nocternal. If they are out in the daytime it is usually the case that they are 'at risk' and need careful watching and feeding, as mentioned, cat food and water. Maybe the food souce is scarce. Always seek the advice of a hedgehog rescue centre if you encounter a hedgehog wandering your garden in the daytime. I didn't and two hedgehogs died because I did not realise that they were at risk.

Is the curser software controlled. If software can this be updated? It is a Dell computer
