Mine was a Canon AE-1 in about 1979 from Dixons. With film you def thought more about your images before you pressed the trigger! I still have this camera and my lenses. Just can’t seem to part with them even with not using them for years!!

Not sure if anyone interested but just took up the Hotukdeals deal showing a special offer from Olympus that you get a free Olympus 45mm 1.8 lens if you buy an Olympus Pen EP L 8 or 9...

Just bought this deal. Very easy to claim the lens. Ian was looking at buying the lens and as it costs about £260 brand new from Wex etc then it works out basically £40 for the camera.

Fantastic image. Really like this.

That’s beautiful

That’s fine, just thought I’d let people know. We bought an Olympus 40-150mm cheap lens the other day. It turned up looking mint as description but expensive stuff I’m still sitting on the fence! Have a good Bank holiday.

Lucky you! I’ll have to get Ian to take some time off work during the week so we can go places when it’s quieter.

They are great Snerkler. Ian and I have noticed how rich the colours are when using the Olympus. The rugby photos are looking really good using it.

We had one refused too. When it gets back shine a torch into the lens and look inside at all angles. if you see like spider web thread in there then this is the fungus. You can try putting lens in a Tupperware full of rice with a top on for a few days, use silica bags in a Tupperware with top on...

Really enjoyed your photos.

I agree with Bebop number 4 is my favourite the runner really stands out from the background. Thanks for sharing your photos.

I rang them on Thursday and a Jessops Customer relations assistant answered, apparently CJ are in the process of moving premises and this is why problems are occurring at the moment!

My husband Ian (@camera 2 post below)and myself are just changing over to M4/3 from Canon because of spinal problems. Ian now uses an Olympus OMD EM1 Mark II and I now use a Panasonic G80. @maarten.dhaese, @Cagey75, @snerkler and many others have provided us with great advice and its the best...

Thanks Maarten, Having looked at weight differences I’ve ruled the 12-100f4 out for now and also save some money! I also have the Panasonic 12-60 f3.5-5.6 so I will attach that to my G80 if I decide to take a camera myself.
