Hi,

This is a more specific description of a problem with the new 'lack of no camera roll' feature.

But, as far as I can tell there isn't (easy) third party app access to old camera roll photos anymore.

I (did) have 5 photos in my camera roll. They are definitely there if I plug in via USB and browse using Windows (go windows lol!) Yes, that's all I have - I had a sort out before iOS 8. These 5 photos are a couple of months old now, and don't show up in the new 'most recent' album. They are in the 'photos' (separate tab) if I could be bothered to search through (mixed in with hundreds of other photos that are synced through iTunes from my PC as albums).

Example problem 1 (can't access them at all!):
If I go into facebook and use the photo upload feature - camera roll doesn't have the photos in. I'm stuffed, I can't access them. It's clearly using 'Most Recent' now which is no good for accessing the photos I took with the camera a couple of months ago.

Example problem 2 (can access them, but I have to look through loads to find them):
If I use 'Phone Drive' and select to upload photos, I do have the extra album option of 'All Photos', but this has huge amounts and I can't find them. Well I probably could if I looked hard enough.

Apple, this is a usability bug. If anyone has any 'easy' workarounds I would be interested.

Thanks.
