Imagine you have a standard 6x4 print. Now take a knife and cut out the middle 2/3rds of the print (at the same ratio). The original print is what the "full frame" camera would have taken, and the middle 2/3rds is what you would get on APS-C. Everything else remains the same.

Hope that helps.

About $8 I think including the postage.

I had a couple of lenses which had become a bit loose and I need to remove the "beauty" ring to sort them out. After searching various home brew stores and the like to get one the right size, I finally gave up and ordered a special lens tool rubber bung from Microtools in the US. (I had to get my wife to bring it home with her on her last trip.) It wasn't expensive in the grand scheme of things, but it was just a fancy rubber bung. I have, however, successfully repaired two lenses and removed a series of stuck filters and other annoying niggly tasks. I'm actually quite pleased with my rubber bung and it has been permanently added to my collection of photographic junk... err... gear. Just a shame that the UK version of Microtools doesn't stock these very special bungs.

That's what I thought. Funny really as most of their stuff isn't at all cheap, although not that expensive for a bricks and mortar establishment either.

I've just shot a roll of Neopan 1600 using my KX and a combination of the M20/4, K50/1.2 and the M85/2. I'll be interested to see how they come out.

When I wanted an SLR the ME Super had topped the sales charts (as reported in the camera magazines of the day) for months and months. I bought one without even handling it. In fact, my brass teacher bought it for me in Dallas.

When I got my first dSLR in 2007 I was in the US and the £$ exchange rate was very favourable for me. I bought a K10D on the basis of the reviews having never handled one.

I've never regretted either decision.

I think it has all been said. Ridiculous.

Sadly not! If they had, I'd bought both and sold one on. They do have a lovely pre-war Leica outfit with two bodies and a selection of lenses and filters in a brown leather carry case. Only £1399. Just a touch beyond my means. They also have a couple of Speed Graphics and a couple of Soviet copies of a Hasselblad. Usually their selection is very boring, but just recently they have had some nice stuff in.
