Has this lens just got a plain barrel? Does it have any lettering, aperture, distance scale etc. It doesn't look to from the photos?--
Wondered the same. There are markings just visible in image two on the rear two rings. Have there been any variants other than this link The images above don't show any switches on the lens. Maybe worth some more images for clarity.

Best regards

Transparency is often difficult to focus on, negativity however, should be handled with care.

As above, Texting Alice stands out for me. I like the set David. Is taking off the full frame? It may be a stronger image with a little wider FOV. Great sharpness throughout and good mono conversion.

Best regards

Hi Vic, my AA container is marked because I charge the enerloops in it, using croc clips connected to the pins, so need to know the pos and neg.

Hope you enjoy the course your going to be doing.

Best regards

A great, colourful lead into an image that tops with blander, softer colours. The whole scene attracts attention throughout. Even the FE effect draws my attention into which of the upper steps is the one perpendicular to the camera as they are straight. Well seen and photographed Kris.

The majority really are missing out shooting only digital.

I've used the 17-28 FE quite a lot recently but I should use the K 17mm on a body and put it to work.

Best regards

Well Vic, your post made me think I'd best check my older guns. Fortunately all OK. So whilst checking the AF400 kit I thought I'd have a look at the guts of the TR power pack (as you do when it's persistent precipitation outside).

Designed for six 'C" size dry cells, typically alkaline, the bulk of the housing is for the batteries.

The oscillator is under the cover on the opposite side of the on/off switch. I bought my TR power pack back in 1988 and it's worked well since.

The reverse side of the pcb - cover removed. The yellow item is the step-up transformer.

Back in it's case.

The plug on the TR pack that plugs into the back of the flash gun has three female connectors. Two are for the high voltage from the oscillator that goes to the capacitor in the flash gun and the third is the feed back connection that lights up the neon "ready" indicator on the TR power pack.

Best regards
