FA 31 - fixed hood

The DA15 comes very close to the price of the 12-24, I don't know if it's worth it or not. It's of course nice to have the whole Limited serie
The 21mm has a bayonet mounted hood actually. Odd looking thing to be sure. Gwyn wrote:
Another point - do the other limiteds have the sliding lens hood? It seems like a neat feature to me.

Sorry for the late reply.
Guys I have never dismantled my 1.7A, so I can't really help you. I have been meaning to but never got around to it.
I just recommend if you do intend taking it apart, that you are vigilant with what comes off and how it goes back together.

No problem, if Martin (Sanderscapes) doesn't want it, its yours. I'll get back to you with a postage price.Clarky wrote:
I picked up four of these with a bunch of Takumar gear I recently purchased on E-bay.
I use one on my DS for macro photography and much prefer them to the Pentax eyecups
If you want one and can't source it over there for a descent price, I will send you one of these for the cost of postage.
The round one is an olympus eyecup and it has a glass in it and I suspect is magnified slightly as I had to adjust my diopter after installing it, or it could be just that your eye is further from the view finder, but thoroughly recommend one for macro.
They both fit my K20 perfectly and in excellent condition.

For someone as talented as Hefty, he would have that lens back together before morning tea. That diagram scares the bejesus out of me!
Of course you wouldn't have to disassemble it down to the last screw, but the diagram will give you an idea of what you will need to do.
I reckon it will be a fun project to take on good for those cold rainy days when you are stuck in the house.

Please dont tell me it was the auction that had the 1.7x converter hidden inside otherwise I am likely to go outside and top myself in total disgust. nothing for a week until the item turned up on my doorstep Well I got the postage cost as it was written on the box, so I decided to send the payment via Paypal, but it has sat unclaimed in Paypal for 3 days, (i don't think the seller has an account).

Very sorry to hear that Shim Thats a big chunk of change to lose like that. Mongrels
I have recently had the opposite happen to me, where as the seller wouldn't send me the invoice with the postage costs of the item I had just won. I sent several messages asking for the postage costs so I could pay for it and he could then ship it to me.

I found one completed listing for a 30mm lens which went for £186.26 from New Zealand. At that price I hope it is a stunning lens!
PS I am waiting for Clarky to tell us he found one for a fiver at a car boot sale...
