Another recommendation here. Used them loads of times and never had an issue.

Jamie did you ever get to the bottom of this? I am having the exact same problem, and having done a little research it seems to be particularly prevalent with Macs. Every time I set the colour profile on my printer, it defaults to IJ again, and I get a pink colour cast. Send the exact same image...

Possibly! ;)

Having a week in Bavaria at the moment, and I'm damn sure this camera bag is getting about half a kilo heavier every day. The only thing extra in it since I left home is the image files. I can therefore deduce that they MUST be weighty little blighters!

I do hope so, or it just won't be the same.... ;)

The 70-200 f/4L is worth a look too, and used ones can be had for what is really pennies. I got mine for around £350 with the intention of upgrading to the 2.8 later. I've still never bothered to upgrade it...:D *edit... Just read your next post about 300-400mm being preferable. Doh! Read the...

Who on earth will I get to kick me in the shins, and whack me with rucksacks now? That kind of abuse costs money you know... (Joking aside, I did quite like the Focus show.... I hope the gap gets filled by something equally large, because it was nice to have everything in one place..just my...

Well I will let you know what happens. I have just dropped them into my local Asda for developing (yeah yeah, Asda...I know). For a coupla quid its got to be worth finding out hasnt it! As an aside, they also helpfully offered to develop my HP5 film because 'it goes through the same process'...

Re the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8, I have one and I have to say its my least used lens. The image quality is superb, to be fair. The problem is the focussing. Very slow and very hit and miss in anything other than good light. It's a budget alternative to the 24-70L, the cost of which I couldn't...

Well i'll be damned! Seems I have a lot to learn about film. Thankyou for your comments gents. Much appreciated.

Watching here too :)

Now here was me thinking you folks were going to tell me to chuck 'em. Just shows how wrong you can be! As it happens, I bought an EOS5 earlier this year and ive just finished a roll of Ilford, so I guess if I am sending one off I may as well send three, and hope for the best.

Film Gurus..... During a clearout, I have just found a couple of rolls of undeveloped film in a box. Now I havent shot film since the mid 90's, so I am guessing these arent going to be worth developing, right? Ive read a few threads about old film being fine, but is 17 years going to be...

My Mrs watches it religiously. She got quite uppity when I ******ed myself laughing at Mel B telling someone they couldnt sing. Oh the irony....

Incidentally, has anyone else had trouble with these new Virgin Media Super Hubs? I never had a days trouble with our old surfboard, but it drops out all the time since installing the hub. Cant see me staying with Vermin for much longer if they dont sort it.
