Advantages: Very tough, very reliable, good quality (and cheap) lenses Disadvantages: Fiddly rewind knob, heavy
(Temporary intro part 2: thank you, Ciao! This op is now in the right place, so I'll remove this intro completely in a day or two.)
Now this really is a blast from the past. One of the last true Eastern Bloc cameras (with the exception of the cheap-and-nasty Zeniths), the Praktica MTL-50 (which can be found fairly easily in second-hand shops) is a dinosaur by modern SLR standards - it's heavy, it's clunky, and almost everything is mechanical. Which is why I like it so much. I've had mine since 1989, and it's still in perfect working order, mainly because there isn't a great deal to go wrong.
The main thing you'll notice when picking up an MTL-50 is the weight - it is far heavier than almost any modern camera on the market today. For some that might be a drawback, but for me it's a bonus, because that weight is a sign ...

Advantages: Excellent Phot prints, excellent scanning, wireless capability Disadvantages: Slightly bulky, wireless can be tricky to set up
I bought this printer a few months ago to replace an old hp all in one which had lasted for a long time and sadly the print quality had diminished. With a large amount of options on the market I shopped around and came across the Canon MP620. It seemed to have all the features I was after including scanning, printing, card reader, photocopyer and wireless networking.

Alternatively the MP630, which is more expensive is also not wireless but is faster in producing more prints per minute.
So far, since using it I can report that the MP620 is an excellent all round printer. Great quality prints and excellent scanning makes it perfect for my needs. The wireless networking took a little time to setup ...

Advantages: The effects were amazing, skin looked smooth and clear afterwards, Non invasive Disadvantages: Quite expensive, effects on last for so long
all my cheap products and invested in a few better quality items. Away went the Clean & Clear facial washes I used to buy and in their place came Estee Lauder and Lancome instead. I still had a few outbreaks but nothing in comparison to what I had before.
I had been researching the possibility of having a chemical peel or microdermabrasion on my skin for a while as I know they help with dull looking skin, minor blemishes and can help with scarring etc . After watching a couple of makeover shows where the 'victim' had been given a peel and their skin improved afterwards the idea appealed to me even more so I had look on the internet to see what was available and a company caught my eye - Sk:n Clinics.
These clinics have a few premises around the UK and offer a number of services that not only help with skin rejuvenation but also laser ...
