It probably just needs a good CLA. The lubricants dry-up and go sticky after 40 years. Eric Hendrickson (in the US) and Robin (from Harrow Technical in the UK) do excellent CLAs.

Lovely, especially number 5.

I'd snap this up if I didn't already have one. Sorry to hear you have to sell it. Good luck.

Best wishes, Kris.

Whisky. Doesn't help with photos...

I gave up on Flickr in 2013 when they furned it into an unholy mess. On the odd occasions I visit it still seems to be an unholy mess. There have been rumours of its demise for many years but it rumbles on looking like a second rate student programming project. I moved to Ipernity with which I am very happy. Small, community run site, but clean tidy look which allows you to focus on the image. It doesn't have a big enough user base for all the likes etc that you'll get on other sites, but allows for easy photo sharing here and on other fora.

Cheers, Kris.

Pentax LX, K30/2.8, K50/1.2 and K135/2.5.

Slightly off topic but there isn't an obvious forum for this question...

In an ideal world I would have my own darkroom and do my own printing. I don't live in the ideal world.

I have a number of BW images shot on film which I would like a good old fashioned traditional print. I don't, however, just want a straight print, I'd like someone good at their trade to make an excellent print. Once upon-a-time, there were darkroom specialists who did this sort of thing. Cartier-Bresson, for example, had someone else print the vast majority of his images.

Does anyone know of a service that fits the bill? I know there are several advertised in the back of magazines, but if anyone knows of someone who does a "gallery" service, I would be grateful.

Best wishes, Kris.

Beautiful. K.

Thanks folks. I'd assumed the larger sensor was the way to go. There seem to be more Q-S1's for sale than Q7s which are surprisingly pricey.

Best wishes, Kris.

Of the four Q models, any agreement which is "the best"? The latter ones have a larger sensor, but I have heard several people argue the original has nicer ergonomics etc.

I might just get a Pentax 110 Auto instead....

Thanks, Kris.
