Neither of mine are captive.

I have found the remote control now.

Thankyou to everyone who looked for it for me.

Ah sorry, maybe I got the wrong screw. I had assumed Mayday meant the screw that locks lens rotation. the screws on mine that hold the shoe onto the lens can be removed.

No-one has told me where the remote control is yet.

Hi Clarky. This thread is quite uncanny. Having got my DFA 100 yesterday, guess what I was going to post today.

Good pictures. I got all trying to work out what the first one was - Oooer Missus

Is that a 200-500 F2.8 in your pocket or are you pleased to see me?

(Sorry - lowest common denominator etc.).

Hi Mayday - welcome to the forum.

I've just checked my 60-250 and 300 and both unscrew so far then lock solid, and I don't fancy doing my gorilla impression on them. I guess there's a spring and a ball bearing behind the screw to give the click as the ring rotates which go into orbit when the screw is removed.

Thanks for the "heads up".

OK guys I have cooked and eaten me tea, washed and hung out the clothes and had a very quick play with it.

Both using built in flash. No sharpening. There is something a bit quirky about the focusing,but the first impression is that this lens is capable of capturing a remarkable level of detail.

Thanks for the "heads up" Neil

A small parcel arrived just now and now I have a big grin.

Playtime!!

Since he did it (or had it done)to himself, what's the problem?
