    WBMT.....What baffled me today

    We rented one a few years ago in Ibiza, couldn't believe how much roomy it was on the inside, the other half is 6' 2", and plenty of legroom, the year after we rented a VW Polo in Mallorca, it seemed bigger than the MK2 Golf, the other day I spotted an old Mini parked up outside M&S, it seemed...

    Holidays - give me some ideas

    Depends on what you want to do when you get there,of course mine is photography,the other half prefers the sun and swimming, I often look around and find I'm on my own when I'm behind the camera, only to find the other half has walked off and sitting outside a restaurant having a drink.

    Do I Need A Filter As A Beginner

    ND filter is far from needed, Very useful to slow down the shutter speed to add blur to an image, such as waterfalls etc, the only filter I use 100% of the time is a polarising filter, not only does it protect the front lens element,it removes reflections and deepens colours.

    Is there a way to avoid rubberised finishes becoming sticky?

    Isopropyl alcohol,use one that's stronger than 70%,I use 99%, and then seal it with some 303 protector

    Olympus OM20 rebuild , Is it worth trying?

    I had a similar issue with an OM10, turned out the circuit board was cracked,so it got striped for spares, if yours has the same fault, the prism would be worth saving, as there the same as the OM1 & 2, which suffer from the dreaded corrosion.

    Processing Kodachrome 64 in Black and White in the UK

    Kodachrome is technically a black and white film, the dyes are added at the time of processing, the big problem is the remjet, which needs removing before processing.
