Bought a Mac Mini i7 back in April and have just upped the memory to 16Gb. Great machine, fast as hell, tiny footprint and quiet. Worth having a look but don't buy from Apple with the upgraded memory, rather get the memory from Amazon at around £140 for 16Gb of good quality memory.

Think photography is frustrating then try golf! Similar to photography - never be a pro, started too late, can't afford all the gear and many times come home and wonder why I bother. However, now and again I will hit that great shot, the ball does exactly what I visualised and the end result is...

I've had a D for years and have had some great photographs from it. Very solid and underrated camera. There were two models of lens on the D. The early ones had the Yashikor 3 leaf 3.5, which I've got, and then Yashica started using a Yashinon 3.5 4 leaf lens. It appears there were also a few...

I think this one was in 1963. My mum managed to talk the school into accepting me early, I had just turned four. I'm the one catching flies, first left, front row on your screen. Poor kid next to me already had a combover. What a bonny bunch we were.

For general landscape I use an old MPP technical camera. It is a hybrid of various bits, a MKVII front standard and bellows, a MKIII body and a...

Just joined this site and as someone who possesses quite a large collection of film cameras, from LF to 35mm, I would like to ask a quick question about the OM1. The DIY battery conversion that is on the web had a diode soldered in to the holder to adjust the voltage. Can that just be soldered...
