Hi Tony, The settings in the spread sheet are just a generalisation and can be adjusted from. For me they are a starting point, as I have little knowledge of photography to date. I did learn from just putting in the settings, a bit about the camera controls. Richard

Do this sport quite regular and mixes well with photography and caravanning. (Takes you to interesting places) My score of finds at the moment is about 150 found. :) Richard

Yes this is what it was called. I used one in my first job in the 1970's, when I worked as an office boy with the British Steel Corp, Corby. These were all over the Tube side. Used to deliver internal mail. God what memories. Now long gone. Richard

Got an aiptek 12000u off ebay the other day. Put in a best offer of £53.00, inc postage. Well pleased with it. Delivered next day. Had to download Vista drivers for it. Took about 5 mins to get going. Have not tried seriously in CS2 yet. Richard :D
