There wasn't one in mine and I bought it new from Barnes and Noble. K.

Old chestnut.

A third recommendation for Scott's book although I found myself skipping bits as it really does go through things step by step...

There are also some excellent video podcasts called "Lightroom for digital photographers" which are worth downloading.

We did sort this out if only I could find the thread now. One number is the traditional system we are used to, the other is an alternative system which no one uses but somehow or other ended up being in the EXIF system. I'll search for the thread!

I have never developed 120 roll film but I have developed 35mm and 5x4 (35mm probably about 20 years ago now, and 5x4 before Christmas). My memory of 35mm was getting the stuff on the reel in the dark was a pain, but after that it was all pretty straightforward. With 5x4 the pain is getting the film in the darkslides in the first place.

The photographer at work related the story of someone who came in to load his 120 films in a dev tank. Some considerable time later he came back out saying he had managed it, but wasn't the film flimsy. Our photographer looked at the floor in the darkroom and lo and behold, there was the film. The chap had successfully loaded the backing paper into the reel!

Best wishes, Kris.

I am sorry that you have had a fairly hostile reaction. These fora are normally commended for the friendly welcome and pleasant atmosphere that prevails most of the time. The problem, I fear, was not in what you asked but in the manner in which you asked it. We all have had a good moan about aspects of Pentax at various times (just look for threads on price rises and service times) but the rather aggressive phrasing of your original questions provoked an equally annoyed set of responses which is unfortunate. A well known saying about specks and planks comes to mind.

If we could get past this unfortunate start, you would find this place a pretty friendly and helpful corner of the internet, and certainly much more welcoming than one or two other sites I used to visit.

Best wishes, Kris.

You aren't Clarky in disguise are you?

Glad to have another happy customer.

Perhaps PUG should be LBAA?

£260, and no I didn't bid on it. Out of my price range long before the end of the auction. I would really like one to add to my K collection, but not at that price.
