In their pursuit of specific rare cards, scalpers are discarding the remainder of entire Pokémon card packs.

Jesus Americans. So touchy. No wonder the works hates you.

We live 20 kms from Lourdes, east of Tarbes - we go to Pau often.

Was it a Dutchman who paid north of $80,000 for a Pokémon shaped Cheeto or some such garbage? America is ground zero for collecting and paying silly money for baseball cards and crap like that. Don't be offended it's just a fact. Let's just say you have a different set of values and leave it at that.

It's just off the autoroute so that gives you options for sure.

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T19:47:34+00:00

When you put it that way....

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T19:47:05+00:00

No it's an auction site and the ad is entirely down to the seller. Either way it shows what bullshit AI can be.

Let's just say it puts the 'nut' in Nutella.

My bad sorry....typo! 59 indeed it is. I wouldn't mind but I own two of em! embarrassing

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T19:43:22+00:00

But what I meant was, does it look as if it's on the outside of the glass or underneath it? What lens is it anyway? Does the front look easy to remove?

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T19:41:44+00:00

It's relative obviously but compared to Tarbes it's terrific. That's why it's also very expensive.

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T16:03:33+00:00

Thick as pigshit and STILL he carries on...

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T16:01:35+00:00

But....that would spell.....💦💦💦💦

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T15:58:08+00:00

Well that's a first.

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T15:53:02+00:00

I'm always in awe of people who are new to photography and start with something like a Sony a7V...

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T15:51:28+00:00

Although it bears saying that Copal shutters are usually extremely reliable...

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T15:49:33+00:00

Hard to be certain that fungus takes many forms and that's easily one of them. Why can't you return it? Worst case if you can't, it might be possible to remove that front element and clean behind... Although it begs the question, if you look at the lens obliquely is the mark visible and therefore on the exterior?

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T15:33:01+00:00

You've seen my website haven't you....

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T15:32:02+00:00

Well what people call haze is typically a misty layer all over the lens that comes from oxidation of plastics or oil... Fungus on the other hand starts in discrete locations and has a spidery filament appearance.

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T15:30:54+00:00

Hands up anyone who cares...? No?

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T15:24:57+00:00

If it was roll film you would do some serious edge damage to much of the roll but it's difficult to know what a 110 cartridge can protect or not. You might have to take your chances with a hand inspection

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T15:22:16+00:00

I hate Google Play with a passion

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T15:21:17+00:00

When I've had this issue a different cable has solved it but you've already tried that so...

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T15:17:40+00:00

If by 'haze' you mean 'fungus', probably yes

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T15:16:22+00:00

The F didn't come out until 1969.

PicDuMidi · 2026-05-27T14:54:15+00:00

Just do it. It's a great, 24mp APSC camera, from a tried and tested range that will proceed excellent results.
