Have a look at a Rolleu filter Stefan and see forsty how small it is and then how highly engineered the bayonet is. Not just a simple turn and click like modern ones, but high grade steel and ball bearings and springs....

To make something like in in say 67mm fit would result in a lens hood costing several hundred pounds.

Flossie, I suspect this has happened because you haven't clicked the lens hood fully into place. It needs a very firm and confident click to do so and can be checked by the index marks being exactly central one it's in place.

In any event, a contract is only valid when entered into in full and willing understanding by both parties, and a consideration has been paid.

In a general sense, when an item is offered for sale and we want to buy it we are making an offer to buy. The shop/seller does not have to sell.

This has been done in the past, when most makes of Twin Lens Reflex used Rollei bayonet fittings, usually in sizes 1, 2 or 3.

We do not discuss moderation in the forum, and the reason for that is that any communications with individuals over their postings are by PM and confidential. This avoids embarrassment and enables matters, where necessary, to be dealt with out of the public glare.

What you think of as rather silly might look different if you had all the facts of any situation.

Please follow the guidelines.

You all know what the guidelines are, and the above is exactly why we say Pentax only.

The comment was about Jessops, and that's fine. As soon as the door opens, it gets pushed a little further.

Advert for Fuji cameras removed.

This is one of those seemingly innocent areas of DIY where there's more to cameras than meets the eye. Those screws that hold the mount have a certain tension and the mount can be adjusted.

I would always leave it to those who have the proper information and the proper tools.
