I stopped using this forum recently after several of my posts were deleted and after realising that I'd wasted a lot of time making over 3,000 posts in about 15 months. I don't know if that includes deletions

I've just clicked on this site whilst filling in a bit of time waiting for the postman.

I'd just like to say that Tim is by far the nastiest person I ever encountered on this forum..... following some hilarious links I posted regarding Apple he was always trying to start arguments and posted negative comments to several of my posts which I just ignored, I even told him that I wasn't getting involved in any arguments with him. Sadly he seems incapable of letting things lie and moving on and forgetting things.

I was surprised his bullying of Stefan was tolerated.

The postman's here so bye for now.

Over and out!

People said the Walkman would never catch on because you couldn't record on it

The "Audio Highway Listen Up MP3 Player" was the first MP3 Player
What??????

It's possibly re-badged from another brand. Looks like a Velbon

I think Pyramid was a Dixons brand.

Yes it does fit, I needed an eyecup for the Spotmatic II, so just tried the one from my K10d, perfect fit, so just ordered a K10d replacement eyecup job done.

Take care.
That sounds like when someone lost the only key to a cupboard at a place I used to work. The person who lost it went to see if he'd dropped it in the car park. When he came back the cupboard was open and someone was getting stuff from inside. He shouted out "Did you manage to find a key that fits it then?" to which the person who opened the cupboard said "No I found one that didn't fit, but opened it all the same"

The 55mm Tomioka f/1.2 produces a completely mad bokeh, probably due to them having to cut away part of the rear element to miss the M42 pin link

The 55mm f/1.4's are also very good.

Don’t know what size is required for your Pentax SFXn, but if any help as a guide. The eyecup from my K10d, will fit the Spotmatic II, like a glove.
Take care.
It shouldn't do all eyepieces from the ME onwards were about 2mm bigger?

About 15 years ago my SFXn eyepiece split and I asked in a shop
and couldn't believe he had a brand new one in a drawer, so it's
worth asking around the dealers.
