Thanks for that info. It's a pity that they didn't indicate which
way to turn a MF lens in the viewfinder like they did with the
original MEF

I wonder if they ever build a camera with superfast and precise
focusing will they call it the MEF-D

I saw a site somewhere that showed a string/chain etc. was useless
partly because you have to exert a force upwards to make it work.

I always use SkyHooks (TM) myself

You just have to accept that it's true It baffles me
as well especially with manual focus lenses

Contrast AF under Live View seems very accurate and unaffected
by the AF microadjustment (K-5)

Make sure any tests that you do are under daylight.

Some of the brassing is showing through on the corners
of a black Spotmatic I bought in 1970

Health a safety instructor falls off ladder
Video link

Unbelievable someone even threw a safety helmet to him up the ladder and he had a rope dangling around his feet

Obvious example of why wooden ladders are much safer

At least on here you don't have to fight with Canon buyers
(apart from Mike that is )

There's some stuff on Ebay going for buttons. This 400mm f/5.6
Mitsuki M42 link went for £16 yesterday and it had already been
through once because it didn't get any bids. The photo isn't
very good but I'm sure it's a rebadged Tokina OK from
f/8 onwards.

1.7x AF adapters seem to be going for good prices £330+
Tempted to sell one of mine

It will delete photos after they have been uploaded if it's
running out of memory..... what they refer to as endless
memory. The one's I'm on about I deleted myself from the
other PC after I copied them over.

There are some review videos on Youtube, although some are
quite old from when they did 2GB cards.
