2.FA 35mm f2.8 AL (Samsung ver) - £227 (shipping cost included)
comes with both caps, Original Hood, Original Bag.
Horusbennu UV Filter

this Samsung lens is pefectly the same with PENTAX 35mm f2 AL.
just has different name on it.


It's not the same if one's f/2.8 and the others f/2

Sounds a great bargain anyway!

LOL oh man.

Great set of photos sir! I have a very old Sigma 400mm that "might" have fungus, need to have it cleaned just haven't gone round to doing it.
Probably the cement falling to bits... quite common with
that lens

I had to scrap TWO Panasonic HDD TV Recorders due to bad caps
This site shows how they can be fixed.

Note in the 20th post down a picture of a fake Chinese Capacitor
In this case the cap inside the other is actually a good make

Algi.

Most boards?
All boards I can think of where affected including Apple ...... Possibly if they still made any in the US (Supermicro? ) they may have been OK if they used US made caps?

That's why you usually see on the box of new boards something along the lines of "Solid Japanese Made Capacitors used thoughout"

I've bought about 6 boards with ISA Slots off Ebay and replaced caps on two of them, but all eventually packed in. I have about 4 Tape Drives with backups going back to 1999 when I bought my first digicam. I might as well just throw them away

The caps problem also effected a lot of other elecrical goods such as monitors, TV's, recorders etc.
