Putting this here cos technically, the camera did in fact come from a charity shop - in fact it was a bundle of 5 SLR bodies sold as on lot... I really wanted the Dynax 7 Bidding went well but I was *very* surprised at final price... Already had the 7D and wanted the 7 to make a nice set :cool:

Most will do it, the thing is it is a quick and dirty option so personally I have not gone deeply into different techniques/times/chemicals - sorry ;)

Bank holiday Monday Island :naughty: Love it :cool:

True, but note the rule was posited when pretty much everyone used ASA125 as it was all the everyday user had access to... and speeds much past 1/250 were not available either. And then, the camera only came out on high days and holidays, eg. family trips to the beach ... (add to that the hit n...

Breakfast or Lunch? :naughty:

Just dropped an ad in the classified section, looking to swap my Dynax 7D for a 7 or 9...

Meh - it was OK I suppose... :naughty: Nice though, been there too as #1 son doing PhD St Andrews :cool:

Ebay is a rather sad place these days - outrageous prices, a lot of dodgy gear and sellers, added to the Ebay new payment rules meaning you get paid for sales three/four days after deal is done and (in my case) this means you post before you are paid - a scary situation.
