I use an app called "Smart Remote" on my Huawei Android phone. It came pre-installed but there are other apps on the play store. I got it to work with my wife's Nikon too, but she couldn't find a version for iphone.

It doesn't need wifi, just an old fashioned style infrared remote.

If I have forgotten my remote, I use my phone to trigger my camera (I like to use the MLU function with remote for close-ups). I've had the same Pentax remote since my K10D (i.e., 2007) and it is still going. I guess one day the battery will die.

Great stuff.

My Kershaw Raven (see a couple of pages back) has just come back from having new bellows fitted, the lenses cleaned and the shutter serviced. I loaded a roll of Ilford Delta 400 and will use the roll up tomorrow so I can send it off to be developed on Monday. At only eight frames per roll, it shouldn't be too difficult!

As John says, there were many minor changes to things like the shutter lock. On the later model you could activate the meter by pressing the pentaprism lock button. This is because with the motordrive attached it was hard to half-press the shutter button to turn on the meter without taking a photo. Why the updated shutter curtain lost the two white dots is a bit of a mystery! One source I have seen suggests there may have been up to 300 minor changes, but the vast majority were internal and not noticeable by the user.

Our favourite place is delivering instead. Not quite the same as picking it yourself but better than nipping down the local wood with a saw.

I've never sold an image yet so I'm probably safe...

As long as I can have my big over-decorated tree and a glass of good scotch, I'll be happy. As we won't have guests this year, I might even manage a walk and try to use up some of the burgeoning film stash...

Spam?

I always did like the look of the FA-2 finder, just not quite enough dioptre adjustment for my eyes.

The class glass on the front is pretty drool-worthy too.
