Very useful viewfinder and a good price for it. Hope you find a buyer soon.

Having almost exclusively shot slide film from when I started photography to getting my K10D I know how you feel. Wonderful when you get it right, and a pain when you don't. Stunning colours in that first one, very "Velvia".

Best wishes, Kris.

Having just got my K20D back from repair, I'd like to fit some sort of screen protector. The screen had got badly scratched in my camera bag previously (which I could live with) before being cracked when sent flying by an over-excited small child.

I don't really like those sticky plastic sheets. Can anyone recommend something? There are masses of options on ebay etc. but it is difficult to know which would work.

Many thanks, Kris.

I need to check which numbers I have when I get back at the end of next week but I'd be interested in any I don't have if they are still available.

Best wishes, Kris.

No. 4 for me. K.

Perfect hdr... i.e., doesn't look like hdr but brings out the details!

Cheers, Kris.

Nope, definitely Herts. It is my landlady's bit of woodland about five minutes walk, if that, from my front door.

Thanks for the kind comments all. It is feeling a little odd shooting digital again after a break while the K20D was getting some TLC from Johnsons... Mind you, I've just bought 20 rolls of film ready for the summer!

I've managed to take some very nice images with my old Lubitel 2 and my 50s Agfa Silette II. Not bad for a grand total of £12.50 worth of cameras!

I'm lazy and I got stung a few times. I found cheap processing was exactly that, cheap and generally nasty (although some people luckily still have cheap labs nearby, it is generally the exception not the rule). Hefty, an ex-member here, did recommend a good dev only lab but you'd have to dig through his old posts on here to find it.

Once I decided I liked shooting film more than digital, I also decided that one has to pay for ones quirks. I therefore get my film developed by "The Darkroom UK" or "Peak Imaging" and pay for low-resolution scans. Both provide an excellent but not cheap service. The scans are generally big enough for the web but the whole cost is painful. If I want higher resolution scans I have a Minolta Scan Dual II for 35mm or an Epson V750 Pro for medium and large format.

Best wishes, Kris.
