Not quite sure if you are referring to me (see my avatar), but I will take a coffee and camera shot when it's my turn!

The trusty Fed will be on its way to Pitadotcom today.
I enjoyed it's visit. The viewfinder was just as Keith warned "like looking through the end of a stubby" but the diopter did help quite a lot. At first I thought the diopter lever had something to do with rewinding the film, so I was careful not to touch it until I had almost finished the roll.
I also liked using a softie for the first time. I must confess that I did not realise it was a softie until I read Scrambler's comment about the camera having one.
Posted pics in the other thread.
Thanks for supplying the camera Scrambler and organizing the journey batey_1020.

Fabulous photos Helen. I think both of your selfies are very inventive. You've got my vote for PM ;-) The gas pipeline sign is poetry.

ricnak for PM! I like it. I need a job. We could call it the "RFF Party". It would look good on a t shirt and my CV.
No more crazy than Bob Katter or Clive Palmer.
If only I had posted on Friday and you voted me in on Saturday - Election Day.
Maybe next time around...

Helen, enjoyed your photo set. I think I'm going to be surprised at what this camera and lens can do.
