I doubt the seals are much good. It is such an ugly beast. I much prefer the looks of the LX 2000, a much nicer special edition.

I'm afraid my better scanning technique is to pay "the Darkroom UK" a fiver to do it for me. Only lo-res scans, but very good quality usually. Only if I need a hi res scan do I wheel out my neg scanner and do it myself. As you say, it is pretty slow and then the image usually requires some cleaning up.

Cheers, Kris.

As with Techno, there was no sign of that clause/email address on the mailings I had seen.

And why can't I moan about Facebook? I have never ever seen such a completely inane and pointless idea. Why on earth should I find myself bombarded with messages about how some looser I once knew 30 years ago is going to the dentist this afternoon? My wife joined and her experience is more than enough to persuade me that I'd rather stick red hot needles under my nails than sign up.

OK. Rant over. K.

Thanks Gwyn. The place was almost empty when I was there but it was close to closing time.

I'd have to invest in a K5 to take these in colour, I was down to 1/30th wide open at 1600ASA! To be honest, there isn't a great deal of colour in most of them being mainly varieties of white/gray marble.

Thanks Bernard. No, no significance, just a name a picked from the list.

Cheers, Kris.

Various tombs around Canterbury Cathedral. All shot with a Pentax MX, SMC Pentax 'K' 50mm f/1.2 or 135mm f/2.5 (I doubt any were shot using my 28mm f/3.5 lens which was the other lens with me that day) on Fuji Neopan 1600, commercial dev and scan, tweaked in Lightroom 1.4.

Best wishes, Kris.

I've picked up a few nice things at fairs. I got my "Horizont" swing lens panoramic cameras at one, my LX motordrive kit including replacement ni-cads and my Zorkii 4.

I enjoy fairs very much, my bank balance doesn't!

The F isn't a model I own, but I approve of your choice of film...
