I fitted a katzeye screen to my K20D. The best thing I ever did.

I know the feeling. I have 11 of them now...

Sigma 500mm f/4.5 EF DG according to the tags on Flickr.

Stunning photos, BTW.

Hi. These regularly sell for in excess of £200, sometimes quite a bit in excess of that --- I vaguely remember one going for about £380 but I don't keep records any more. Optically, they are the same as the S-M-C Takumar f/1.8 and one of those sold recently for £220. Alan Marlow is excellent for lens repairs and normally charges about £40 for a basic service. I've been interested in getting one of these to feed my K-series addiction but have never seen one for a price I could afford.

The M40 pancake sells for about £60 usually. Not the best of lenses, optically, but goes well on something like the ME as a relatively compact point and shoot. The ME is probably only worth £10-£20.

Cheers, Kris.

I'm afraid I'm already booked to head south that weekend (to Cornwall) so (yet again) I won't be able to make it.

I hope it goes well.

Less than 12, only ten I think. You get 12 from a 6x6 neg like my Yashicamat 124G or my Lubitel 2.

One thing no one has mentioned is that you get more images per roll with 645 than 67... given the cost of film and developing these days it is a consideration.

I, however, do keep dreaming of a 67 but keep buying classic 35mm stuff. Must save my pennies, must save my pennies......!

Stunning stuff and amazing getting those shots in flight. My favourite is still the reflection one. Have you tried a square crop making the most of the symmetry? The "rule of thirds" is at best "a general guideline" and in that image the symmetry makes a good example of when to break the rule emphatically for a shot with great impact. Lovely.

Best wishes, Kris.

Lovely scene but it feels as though it needs to be rotated a little?
