Dear Chaps
I am looking for both K35/2 and K85/1.8. If you have either of them or both of them for sale, please drop me a PM!
Regards
Are you trying to start a 'K' series collection? Every lens you have mentioned lately is on my mental 'of interest' list. You'll be asking about the K200/2.5 next... As to the K85, it isn't too common so when I saw an M85/2 for £95 I jumped at it.Dear Chaps

Yup it can. Just ask my wife but remember to duck... I have some Fuji Neopan 1600 35mm and some Fuji Velvia 100 120 rolls in my freezer.

I started with film, my photography was re-invigorated when I bought my K10D, and now I largely shoot film (for fun) and digital (for work, ebay, etc.).
I wouldn't go film only, though. For example, tonight I am going to an event in a vault under the A1M (honestly!) and I want to take photos. Bouncing light from the vault ceiling will be a bit hit or miss. With my digital I can check the histogram and lighting etc., and be happy I have something. Someone with much more experience with flash (I only use it in extremis) would be able to get it right with film, but I would be very unsure. On the other hand, when I was being a tourist in San Francisco I left my K20D in the hotel room and just shot with my LX and MX and was perfectly happy with the results.
As ever, courses for horses.
Best wishes, Kris.

Ipernity is looking good for me. They have just released a bulk transfer script. You have to click on a couple of buttons every 90 images but the transfer is going well so far.
I will leave my images on flickr while I put the copies into sets on ipernity. After that, we will see but I expect I'll just delete my Flickr photostream.
Bit of a shame that it will leave broken links on here as I cannot edit posts to update the links...

16,000/180 = 200... That'll take a little while!

I have my own website but I only post a select few images there, whereas I used my flickr account as a utility rather than a gallery.The only real alternative is your own hosting/website arrangement and that's an awful lot more aggro.

anyone any idea how easy it would be to move over a huge amount of photos to an alternate (assuming theres one I like) and still keeping them in the sets they are in ? (I have over 300 sets and god knows how many phots - think it was well over 15, 000)
ipernity are writing a plug-in to move flickr images across in batches of 180. If yahoo don't back down I'll be moving my stuff over and cancelling my account/deleting all my flickr images.hate it with every single fibre of my being... unbelievably slow too.
