At least they have changed the allergy warning on a packet of kippers from "May contain fish" to a "Contains fish"

Too big a series to comment on really but there are some nice shots in there. The foyer would have been a class shot if you had close the door on the left which detracts considerably from the image.
Best wishes, Kris.

I hate those machines too. The "unexpected item" thing drives me mad. I have to heap up my stuff until I have finished and then pack it all in my rucksack thus taking up the space at the machine for twice as long as necessary. The tinny voice saying "unexpected item..." from eight machines almost continuously must drive the staff nuts. I'm with mowog on this one.

The second one is lovely with the reflections in the water creating a kind of symmetry.
Best wishes, Kris.

The ME F was the autofocus version of the ME Super. It was made between 1981 and 1988 and came in silver and black versions. The black version is much rarer than the silver one. The body had a focus confirm system visible in the viewfinder. The AF35-70 zoom was their first autofocus lens with the motor in the lens (subsequently abandoned for a screw drive in the body now abandoned for SDM/DC motor in the lens... ) but it was very slow and unreliable. Copies of this lens come up now and again but often the AF isn't working at all. The IQ is reputed to be quite good and normally it can be manually focused (mine cannot as it is jammed solid). It makes the camera very front heavy as the bulge on the bottom of the lens contains four AAA batteries (hence the winder to try and help balance it out).I don't know anything about this type of analogue(?) camera, but I do like the look of it and your picture!

Squirrels? Bah humbug...

I noticed immediately! My least favourite ebay seller. Always has what I am after but at ten times the going rate... Have none of you noticed who's selling it ?

Looks OK to me... I'm used to shooting at ISO 64 not 6400!

He will be coming to work with me. I'm looking forward to clients' reactions to 'Do you mind if I bring my guide dog on the shoot?'
Its for the blind people.
Wow - you guys let blind people drive?!
As someone with an American wife I refuse to comment.
I did have someone on Palace Green in Durham once ask me "what's that?" "The castle" I replied. Looking puzzled they then said "Well if that's the castle what's that?" as they pointed at the cathedral...
Sorry, very off topic. I should post this to the pointless thread!
