You need to paste the image's address into your post between (IMG)(/IMG) tags - but use the square [] brackets instead of the round ones.

I love the way the droplet seems to have captured the sun - very nice!

After bidding on several Zeiss Sonnar 135/3.5's (and not being prepared to pay very much money for one, so losing out every time) I finally won one for the princely sum of £26.00.

The description was poor (as was the photo) and I only spotted it with less than an hour to go so had no time to ask the seller anything about it; subsequently I've spent the last 10 days waiting for it to arrive and wondering if I'd bought a complete dog.

To cut a long story short it arrived this afternoon and I can only describe it as mint - in fact it looks like it's never been used! Focus is smooth, the aperture clicks round nicely and positively and the original caps are present and correct. Even the slide-out hood has just the right amount of friction. Glass is the very definition of pristine and there aren't even any flecks of dust inside, let alone fungus!

I stuck my M42 adaptor on it and went out to grab a few shots before the sun went down and I couldn't be happier with the results.

So today's one of those days when I'm rather pleased with eBay...

Hello William, welcome to the forum.

The K10D and the MX make a great combination!

It's about 60km from Aylesbury to Teddington by road. So less as the crow flies. I'll leave you to do the conversions
Hmmm... From what I remember 60km converts to about 50 miles doesn't it? We had the best teachers at our schools...

That's more than 45 miles from here I'm sure but I'll check my map after lunch - all our old school teachers wouldn't have lied to us...
