Is it possible you have set auto-bracketing ot exposure compensation without remembering to switch back?

To be sure, reset to factory defaults and see if that solves the problem.

Yes, I use Price Finder as well and normally it's very effective. It even takes us to Parcel Force when necessary.

I've made a note in my diary and will endeavour to get to see the exhibition.

For very close work, rather than focusing the lens, the final adjustments can be made with a focusing rack. This mounts on the tripod and via very precise gearing moves the whole camera to and fro.

A macro lens focuses just like any other lens, but obviously much closer.

The best onverters are OK but generally not brilliant optically and the same goes for macro converters.

I would check the lens is firmly clicked into place and also wipe the contacts on lens and lens mount with a soft dry cloth.

It may be that sometimes the lens is not stopping down properly, possibly because of contaminated contacts.

If in nice condition you should do very well. eBay will give you the widest audience, so despite the fees may be a good choice. Amazon Martketplace is another option. Selling here is a third option.

In the latter two cases, you'll need to decide on a price.

It looks like an S2 Super, from the early range of this model.

It will probably come as a surprise to some posters that their banter is being discussed on the web as being an example of the disgraceful way some photographers behave:

I suppose it's a reminder that what may be harmless chatter can be taken away across a huge auduience and seen as something else.
