I had the same problem in a company car, I bought an ioniser ( large ) and put it in the car for a few hours. Maybe a small ioniser in a small box with your camera will kill the small as the ozone generated kills cigarette smells. It just leaves a slightly bleach small.

Try using a piece of glossy photo printer paper to focus on. It has similar thickness and finish to most photographic paper for black and white.

When you delete or format an image or card you'r not really deleting it. What your actually doing is removing it from a lookup table or map. That means normally it will no longer be listed or shown. The likes of Recuva look past that list for complete files and use that to restore the lookup...

I will add a little that will help you understand why the faultless, blameless block was introduced. I had not been on for some considerable time due to other things in life. However someone managed to hack my account and sold a ghost lens to another member for considerable money. I only knew...

Due to a few scammers that got into some peoples accounts there has been a timer put on it. It's still there but I was one of those accounts that got hacked and someone sadly lost a lot of money. Contact admin they will probably restore it for you :D

I'd love to put a film through my first 35mm camera, a FED4l but sadly the shutter curtains have shed most of the coating. I did see a way of fixing it a few years ago but can't remember what you use and how. I have a few friends that want to try film again but I have so much digital it always...

Really sorry for your loss mate truly horrible. I lost my Mum after her being in care and a total vegetable for 3 years. Let yourself cry, wail , shout at the sky. Whatever eases it for a second will eventually ease it for longer. Try to look past the suffering and at the happy, funny things in...

Faststone is my goto for most pre culling and light editing. Ive been using it for many years and love the way they keep up with all the RAW image files. It's free but I donate every few years. My flow is FastStone then Photoshop. I have a specific keypress in Faststone that links directly to...

Recuva it's free and has worked nearly every time for me, including some very old memory cards from when I got my first digital camera.

I get mine for the Range too or occasionally Ikea. The Range has loads of nice frames to choose from that are well made and affordable.

I actually have 2 Fed 4's in externally beautiful condition. One is my original one from when I was 13. My Dad took me to Wildings ( long gone ) to choose between a Zorki 4 or the Fed 4L. sadly although the curtains seem to run at the correct speed testing with a flashgun they are now so...
