I saw that one but decided it was much too scruffy for my taste.

Cheers, Kris.

Nice shot. It is perhaps worth spending a little more time PPing this one. Perhaps cropping a little off the bottom and cloning out the bright white object near the left hand edge. The building could, perhaps, be a little brighter. There was a good article on a dodging and burning technique in this weeks Amateur Photographer which could be used with this shot.

I am only suggesting all this because I think it is a nice photograph with lots of potential.

Best wishes, Kris.

The battery door is flimsy and I am very careful with it! The auto mode works as well as the P-TTL mode, and often better. I often find myself using auto whatever lens I have attached. The lack of swivel is a pain though and I have been thinking of one of those funny bracket things but my they look unwieldy.

Many thanks Hefty!

I'll be after a Auto-Takumar of the right vintage for my H2. Not many of those on ebay either.

There are one or two of those I'd like to go with my ES...

While on the subject of Taks, have a look at this chap's collection. And he is only 19...

I wouldn't have thought that a 600mm lens, even on a 645, would have had much use for "fashion photography"?

I wonder what price things like this will go for once the 645D comes out.

Thanks Mowog, good news. Hefty... I'll take you up on your kind offer.

Thanks, Kris.

PS. I love the old BBC screen!

I have two left hands and nothing would entice me to take a camera or lens apart (assuming I want it to go back together again). As far as I am willing to go is changing the light seals and that brings me out in a cold sweat. That is why there are people like Robin at Harrow Technical in the world. I break things, Robin fixes them.

Good luck with your screw driver!

I meant for the service rather than the battery issue.

Best wishes, Kris.
