Myself and Karl [...]

Myself and Karl have just got back from the Focus on Imaging show at the Birmingham NEC. It’s a 4 day trade show put on for photographers and people in the print industry. Exhibitors included Canon, HP, Adobe, Hassleblad and some tiny irrelevant camera company called Nicam or something.
