Join the queue, but I wonder what I would do with that kit. Use it? Look at it? It's just too nice to spoil...and yet if it's not used it's pointless in another way.

What good fortune that I can't afford it!

I think there might also be some issues with heat generation, but the answer is the same. Lithium batteries are not advised until the A series cameras and later.

The sensor is highly reflective and new coatings have been designed to minimise reflection between sensor and rear element.

I'm sure we'd all be interested if you want to start another Parrot thread.

Did you use a flash?
No, just available light. I'm not a fan of flash, it kills atmosphere.

It was overcome by the sight of my Pentax...even the vulture next door came over shy:

So how would you lot describe this?
A bit of harmless fun and a useful technical exercise.

We measured two seemingly identical Vivitar 283s and one was less than 10V but the other was 288V. It seems several manufacturers made the 283 over a period of time and the details changed.
