Sorry Ed I don't think you understood my question and I certainly wouldn't suggest you recommend using stolen keys with photoshop on a forum! Thanks for the replies, I am playing about with GIMP just now and will have a look at the others as well. I did try Serif a while back and didn't like it but will have another look.

Hi all, I am helping some people with a photography project next month, they all have computers but limited software I would like to be able to give them access to anything that is legitimately available free and NOT just a 30 day trial!! I understand CS2 you used to be able to download for free for a while but think that has stopped has anyone got any other suggestions? Any help appreciated!

<p>Hi folks, I have a very clean fully working and error free minilux 35mm.<br> Unfortunately the top display screen has bleed in the lcd I wondered if anyone has one or knows where I could get one.<br> I have reasonable camera repair skills so would be happy to buy the part and do the repair myself, alternatively can anyone recommend a repairer.<br> Thanks</p>

<p>Hey folks, this is a little bit specific but thought it might help someone here.<br> I have moved premises and I am changing our studio setup.<br> I have a large quantity of Bowens HiGlide system that I won't be using anymore.<br> If anyone is interested please let me know and I can give you an idea of what is included and price, it has had pretty light use and is in good condition.<br> Everything is included to get 4 to 6 lights up on the ceiling and there is a large number of spares and accs included as well.<br> Thanks</p>

<p>Hey folks,<br> I have quite a few lenses that I am fixing up and cleaning.<br> I am happy with my tools and repair methods for assembly and disassembly.<br> However I am looking on advice as to what the best glass / optics cleaning equipment is.<br> I have a microfiber cloth which is a little dirty, can it be washed?<br> I would probably rather buy a new one or even a couple of cloths, if so which are best and where from for the UK.<br> Also what is the best solution to use, ideally a professional good quality one.<br> Ant help appreciated or info on anyone who clean inside lens and the techniques they use to create a good dust free result., I am also worried about leaving smears or cleaning marks / scratches on lenses.</p>

what about the m39 to r adaptor ring. I see some cheapish russian optics in m39 . It says macro adaptor ring on most on ebay, is that because the focal plane shifts?

thanks folks, thats funny i noticed the adaptalls but the adapters are £50 to £100 which isnt cheap for something I just want to sit around and can't use! Although a little comedy maybe gluing an m42 on isnt such a bad idea!!!

Hey folks, I have an R3 body sitting around with the usual shutter fault. I have no lenses left to fit it and want to use it as a paperweight at work (seriously) its not work repairing but I want to keep it for centimental reasons. I've struggled to see many adaptors to say m42 so I can put a lens on it, does anyone have any thoughts?
