Hi paul congrats on the birth of your son.

The first one looks a little over exposed, but your right the trees look good with the buildings in the backgraoud.

BTW My companies head office is on the 23 floor of the AMP building, 2nd from the right.

I like very much the second shot, was it taken from Circular Quay :

You will have to pay tax on it when it gets to your end i would suspect.

The price quoted from Teds is with GST (Vat in your speak) included. But you will still have to pay vat at your end.

They are an American company called Focusing screen.com

The screen I got from them is called the Nikon F6 but it doesn't seem to be listed on thier site anymore. Maybe you can e-mail them and ask if its still available.

Heres a link

I have never shopped at Teds camera store before as there isn't one close by.
Don't forget to include Vat with that lens. If you ever need something picked up and shipped over to you just ask and I will see what I can do.

After reading a post by Mike-P on some hand held macros using a bellows.
I decided to have a go myself using my newly acquired ist*DS, A bellows and an old SMC Takumar 50mm 1.8

These ants were my first target, only about 3 or 4mm long and crawling around on top of a cinder block wall.

I use a Nikon split screen, custom made for the K10/20. I got it when I had the K10 and put it straight into the K20 when I got it.

I do a fair bit of manual focus work and swear by this screen, I wouldn't go back to the standard screen.

I have heard good things about the Katzeye screens but having never used one I can't really comment. The Nikon screen is not cheap but still not as expensive as the Katzeye.

I can't remember the name of the mob who made mine but if anyone is interested I will dig it out for them. Cheers

I have seen a few bad reviews about the cheap screens you see on E-bay so I would avoid those if I were you.

I have to agree John. After my brother hijacked my K10 I have been on the look out for a good second body that suits my needs and reading the reviews on the DS, I knew it was the one and just waited for one to come up at the right price.

I just keep reaching for the front thumb wheel which isn't there

Sorry mate if I make it sound a little blaise.
BTW. I already have a program A

I think it might be me
Oh wait a minute, i'm not that tall and I have more hair, and I don't own a white shirt, and I don't think thats my wife, but I could be wrong

Its a wee little thing and something I have been after for a while as a light weight kit for macro work.

The chap I brought it off had 2 of them and upgraded to a K20 so he sold me his backup DS kit. Only 770 shutter actuations on it and he threw in the DA 18-55 mkII lens which came with his K20, all for AU$350
An offer to good to refuse I have to say.

And you are right about this forum, I have learnt so much from the people on here and my gratitude is eternal and if i can give something back in any shape or form i will not hesitate. Cheers

Foster's is more like an insecticide, Yuck
