A simple fix I once used on a Tamron Twin Tele 135 (that does let light in through the adapter holes) was to cut out a thin card washer with a 42mm hole and about 7mm wide. This covered the holes and also seated the lens quite well. The lens has arrived and in practical terms I can't see any light l...

[quote:3496ace15f="cardiffgareth"]Although I haven't paid for it yet, I have here a MZ-S with battery grip. Can't play with it for 3 days as its in isolation. My buddy who owns it has Covid and we exchanged carrier bags on his doorstep when I dropped down some vitamins and other stuff to him to h...

A Ricoh XR-X with a focus problem and a SMC Pentax "K" 28mm f/2 lens which I've not had the chance to try yet. I've almost completed my set of K-series primes.

What's the focus problem with the XR-X? Focus on something c. 3m away, check the scale on the lens and it'll say 10m. Try to focus on something further away and it'll want you to go past infinity. K.

Perhaps the focusing screen is out of position? Certainly one possibility especially has it has interchangeable screens. I've not had the chance to check as I've been unpacking for the last week... One of my Nikon F801s had this problem a few weeks ago - I'd AF on something but I could clearly see i...

Mega useful prezzy. For myself I would like a stout stick as well to help me get back up again.

That wee mat is an absolute brill piece of kit, Lubbyman. As for davidwozhere's comment about a stick to help him get back up again, that not only resonated but made me laugh out loud. Outstanding. A lovely couple of posts.

Certainly beats the bit of black plastic I sometimes use! Precisely the reason why I was dropping hints. An unequal and unsuccessful struggle with a bin liner was the last straw. For myself I would like a stout stick as well to help me get back up again. It's called a monopod. Also useful for sup...

They've cleaned up real nice, treated to some anti bac and then a nice polish which makes them look nice but now they're uber slippery in the hand. Managed to break the eyecup when I was cleaning behind it so now looking what eyecup fits that's not going to break the bank! Apparently any eye c...

The K70 has succumbed to the sticking aperture solenoid problem so I have ordered a K3 III from SRS. Looking forward to getting to use it over the weekend. I've also ordered a replacement white solenoid for the K70 and downloaded the instructions on how to replace it so hopefully the K70 will also...

So CeX. Lens arrived full of fungus. Refund policy is bring it straight back to local store if not acceptable. So here I am, typing this in store waiting. Waiting for them to contact the original store for photographic evidence to show the lens optics to make sure the fungus was there before it came...

A Sigma-XQ FISHEYE FILTERMATIC 16MM F2.8, another M42 mount. I'm hoping wide DOF, split prism focus screen and new spectacles will help with the manual focus:roll: I can't find a lot of info about this version of the lens. Most of the stuff out there relates to a model where you unscrewed the fo...

I put a landscape on the main gallery recently. It was taken by the Ensar/ K1 ensemble on the left. It's a 100mm f4.5. The other Ensar 105mm/ 4.5 on the K3 has only just been cleaned and converted. You will notice that both are set to 'T' which keeps the shutter permanently open until you release ...

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall... Well it didn't fall of a wall but it certainly fell from grace. Just acquired this Carl Zeiss Sonnar 180mm f2.8 from a well known website. Described as in good order but with lots of dust. The seller however failed to mention a lumpy focus and a non working ape...

Reikan Focal focus calibration kit, so I can blame focus on back or front focus rather than poor technique.... I know the kit is not suited to non-Canikon stuff but it does allow to check focus with them, just not auto-calibrate - not that I have issues with my Pentax gear.
