away from the lens first. The first shot often has some liquid in
it.
What's wrong with a small windscreen washer type tube held into
the suction hose of a vacum cleaner to create a mini-vacum cleaner?

It was an M42 lens that was like new in a box and I paid £5 for it
on ebay I already had an Ensinor K mount zoom that cost £10
so I changed over the mounts and it's now a pre-set K lens.... which
is unusual I later bought a proper K mount Ensinor 28mm for
£10 but it's got a sticky/slow iris and I haven't got round to
stripping it down. Only really good at f/8 though.
I've also got a few Vivitar 28mm's but the Ensinors better.
The old 135mm f/2.8 Ensinor M42 used to be my favourite 135mm
in the film days... Rare as hen's teeth. I've also got the
same lens in Olympus mount. Lovely smooth focus to below 1m.
Ensinor zooms aren't worth having. They do a 24mm as well which
usually goes for about £50.

Thats not a bad price.
I sold mine for £270 to a fellow in Portugal. I have seen them listed for silly money £450 but it didn't sell.
I've had a 35mm f/2 M and a 28mm f/2.8 both of which weren't as good as Zoom lenses so I sold them. I've still got an f/2.8 A 28mm but even that's not as good as the 18-55mm Mk2 Kit Lens I also sold my 24mm A f/2.8 because although better than the 28mm and 35mm it didn't really seem any better than the Kit Lens.

Samsung done with Huey and Argyll.... Tempted to try the
Samsung visual software instead. No manual controls on this
monitor.

Unless you know the code off the label your pretty helpless.
It's not quite as bad as it sounds, because most TV's are rubbish anyway

The side legs come off leaving a mono-pod and it has a security
strap to stop it falling over. Two flimsy suckers hold it
to the windows. Could also be used outside of the car or
against a shop window for street photography
Worth £20 not £70

PS Algernon I know you don't like Macs, but trying to say an AVi containing xvid is better than an mp4 or a mov containing h264 is a bit, well, old fashioned.
I still like MPEG-2 I've still got Panasonic's MovieAlbum on the PC from when I used to record to DVD-RAM (from TV)it used to let me edit the disk on the fly (remove adds etc.)and copy MPEG-2 files both ways. Excellent program that unfortunately Panasonic just let die along with their computer DVD-RAM drives. Span still stock an OEM version at £190 but no software and the drive isn't as good as the older ones, although it's slightly faster.
