No, sadly not. I either do them at work (a bit of a pain as our photographer is always very busy) or, in the case of my recent big prints, I sent them to the Siskin Press. They were very helpful in recommending the best paper for each of the images I wanted to print.

I'd like to get an A3 printer with the range of BW inks but I don't have the room at present. My flat is stuffed to the gunnels with books and cameras! My girlfriend despairs...

I didn't intentionally start collecting K series lenses but I seem to have a few now. Well, I have 5 from the possible 36 K series lenses made There are one or two I'd particularly like (the 28mm shift, the 30mm, the 85mm and the 200mm f/2.5) but they are all a bit unusual and go for serious money when they come up. Never mind, I am not in a rush. I am trying to keep my nerdy desire to collect things under control! (Says I surrounded by M series cameras and in agonies as to whether I should sell the black MX...)

Kris I know this is a long shot but if you ever get sick of the sight of your SMC-K 135mm f/2.5, let me know
You'll be the first to know Clarky, although I wouldn't hold your breath!

Well it made me chuckle as soon as I saw it, so that is a thumbs up from me too.

Good photo pink, superb conversion Malo! It has really lifted that picture. As to the drainpipe... good luck! It will be worth doing but it would try my patience too much.

There are many types of inkjet paper now which look at feel very like good quality traditional photo paper. The Canson BFK Rives paper I had my Shetland ponies photo printed on feels like very high quality watercolour paper and has a gorgeous texture to it. It is almost a shame to frame it!

I have the 28 M 3.5 and its a fantastic lens, The reviews suggest its one of the best of the bunch, with the K version coming out on top, both are not that common and £40 is a good price for one in good condition, I have seen them go for more. Buy it.
The are a few M28/3.5s on evilbay at the moment, but not a K to be seen. Another one to add to my K lens wish list...

They make HP5 Plus now. I have some rolls of 120 HP5+ in the fridge!

The sky went a bit odd when I applied the filter and darkened it down a little. I wasn't really intending to do that and I hope with a full-sized image it wouldn't look quite so grainy.

I think the square crop helps though as it is there all the action is, so to speak. The edges of the original are a little empty, don't you think?

The square crop also adds to the "is it a 6x6?" quality of the image
