Hi Stuart

I've used mine for portraits, wildlife and fast action ( RAF Jets in the Mach Loop, BIF etc ) not had any real issues with focus tracking or slow focus, use the centre point 90% of the time.

Morning Stan

A quick google search brought up this if you do wish to use Picasa 3.9, I didn't download it as I already have the software, but I went as far as possible with no problems.

Charlestown nr St Austell is always a good bet as this is where a few of them are based, otherwise there is a biannual Tall Ships event in Gloucester, I believe it will be 2017, it's busy but good shots can be had as they come up the canal a day or so beforehand, or on the quayside.

Hi Maria

I do exactly the same, my understanding is it'll continue to work as a stand alone product, just there won't be any more updates.

Unless you shoot more than 10k images per annum, why not prefix the file name with the year, never get a duplicate then ,

The Sigma 85mm F1.4 is a stunning lens, only available used these days unless u can find a dealer with old stock, only recently superseded by the Art version which isn't available in PK unfortunately.

Hi All

Thanks very much for all the suggestions, as initially mentioned, I was looking for a cure rather than a fix when it gets stuck again,

I'm pleased to report the O Rings work a treat, An 80mm diameter O ring with 4 dabs of superglue to hold it in position. fixed inside the reducing ring so the filter butts up against the O ring and sits proud of the metal face which prevents them locking together.

Total cost £3 and I have 4 x O rings left over !!

Gareth has it right. All round even pressure no distortion should work a treat. I bet he uses his to put his moon boot on and off.
CHEERS Vic.
LOL 😆

Thanks Vic, had thought of that, the rubber bands I have were no good, I've sourced the O rings to sit inside the reduction rings, £3 for 5 so worth a punt.
