Any focussing rail of this type, even the Pentax one (no longer made), causes an issue with the viewfinder when the moveable part of the rail with the camera mounted onto it is closer to the forward end of its travel.

The image posted by Barrie illustrates why.

You can take her to any vet and they'll identify the cats owner. Always remember though, people don't choose their cats, cats choose their people. If it's not happy at its current home, it'll move somewhere where it feels more comfortable.

Buses like those, and older, are still in service . . . in Malta.

Lovely pics.

I've been using IOBit's Advanced System Care software for well over a year Jack, and I agree it's an exceptionally good piece of software, even the freebie version.

I also use their Smart Defrag product, again, it works for me, and better than the application supplied with the OS.

In contrast, man destroys an area of tropical rain forest roughly the size of Wales each year. So I guess squidgets aren't so bad.

I did say pop up SHADE and NOT diffuser for a pop up flash
"Pop-up shade", if read another way, can mean a "shade for a pop-up [flash]". Excuse me for asking for clarification. I hope your search is succesful.

They don't belong in UK, they just thrive there and displace the local population. Ring any bells . . .

What do you mean, exactly, by "clip on pop up shade"?

Do you mean a clip on diffuser for the pop-up flash?

If so, it's easy enough to make one from a transluscent film canister. Just cut a slot in the side of the canister such that it fits over the pop-up flash.

Otherwise, check out this Lumiquest product.

Perhaps you mean a shade for the rear screen? Like this one.

It's not clear to me what it is you are after.

Welcome back Lilly.

Which lenses did you take with you, and which of those lenses did you not use or use very little?

Are there any lenses you wish you had taken?
