I can see a face and mysterious creature in it, just like looking at inkblots!

No problem.

This is good work and well worth having a look.

I wouldn't bother either, the screen is robust enough unless you are going to thoroughly abuse the camera. In which case the rest of it will need body armour as well....

I have for sale one little used Benbo Trekker tripod, complete with its original carry case and the ball and socket head. This is the Mk I version, the same as this one but without the hook for hanging a weight on:

As you can see the new one is £109.00 so the asking price for this one is £65.00 including UK shipping. Unfortunately it will be very expensive to send overseas, so UK only.

Preferred payment method is PayPal.

Unfortunately selling isn't an exciting option as there's little market for Super 8 cameras.

Using it would be very expensive, although viewing any Super 8 films is likely to be cheap as there are plenty of projectors that nobody wants.

I have at least three here.....

Tolerances in manufacturing are inevitable - nothing in this world is 100% accurate at any price.

However, you should expect that a lens will work fine on your camera body and usually they do.

In cases where they don't, then recollimating the lens will no doubt put it right. The K20D goes a step further by enabling user adjustment for up to 20 lenses. This is an interesting development and I wonder why it has been put in there. On the face of it there is no need for it, but clearly there must be.

It's been included in some form (hideen on the K10D) sice SR was introduced and we have a sensor that moves. Maybe this is where the need for extra adjustment is coming from?

Lovely expression, but maybe a little too tight in the frame this time, particularly at the bottom.
