I am cross-checking some motor racing photographs for a friend with those in my own archive to check whether someone's been clever with photoshop.

So far, everything seems to check out.

I could use a while I'm at it.

And if those in your collection have been "touched up" in a similar manner, what then?

Unlikely, given I've got the relevant Autosports spread out all over the dining room table

They could all be faked!

I've always discounted Panasonic cameras, but I bought a Lumix TZ100 been very impressed.

This was an old FZ-30, It takes great pictures for what I need in that application, I mainly rely on an old Sony A-350 for a workhorse camera, and I have a few lenses for it, and an old Minolta Maxxum lens as well. Minolta Maxxum lenses fit and work the same as Sony's on the A-mount SLRs.

You ever used Konica-Minolta lenses?

I've bid on one, top price of £60. Withdrawn after they found they had no keys for it. Got my money back instead.

It's more the paying a third parties fees* on top of the actual auction price, hammer and with their fees added. That's standard practice, or was, along with VAT added after the sale.

*Adds another 25% on top of the price.

That is a lot, for any fee in an auction.

It's what put me off them. A set of fixed fees might be better, but I'd still begrudge paying a third parties fees. Why can't they pay?

I mostly had some Minolta Maxxum lenses for Mrs. GA, who had a 3xi and 5xi.

I've the 9Xi, along with the 5000i and 7000i.
Very nearly bought their APS SLR. The different lens mount was the thing that stopped me.
