a Good Camera Club Mate and Fellow FLICKR member gave me this great lens! Here is a heavy but SHARP VIVITAR 200mm f3.5 made by KOMINE Initial Tests show it is useable at full aperture and at f4 and f5.6 really sharp !

YES -- just found out the Mains Power Unit for 45 CL-4 and 45CL-3 N22 is DIFFERENT than for 45CT-1 N21-- the socket on left under flash head has 3 pins compared with 2 pins for 45CT-1 -- and the NicCad Battery unit for 45 CL-4 is different too as you have found ! i DO have a selection of AA Battery Holders I could use taking I think it;s 6 batteries.

Mecablitz 45 series Battery Chargers -- I have 2 chargers with British 3 pins and 2 from a Camera Club member who gave me 45 CL-1 units with GERMAN 2 pins Also the British units 402.12 d are 7 V 450mA and one German one is marked [b402.12 i and 8 V 450mA and the other marked 'Typ 729' is &v 600mA !!! ][/b] I have a 45 CL-4 which came with NO Battery charger from the Widow Lady and evidently THAT requires a type 703 battery charger -- a PLETHORA of Different Chargers ! -- which do I use with the 45CL-3 I have and the 45CT-1 and 45CL-1 ? The Donor of 45 CL-1 units said he had used the 220V set ones OK in UK on 240 V !

I have tried HIM but its SO Expensive with Horrendous POSTAGE COSTS -- he has declined 2 offers -- he just declined $30 -- not willing to go any more what with the Postage costing so much and he doesn't reply for a long time either. All his gear for sale is Horrendously Expensive !! I have some film stuff I cannot GIVE away that he is asking stupid Prices for such as a 'Leitz Eldia Film Strip Printer' There is a Kind Gent on TalkPhotography.co.uk that was going to DUMP a load of old Metz gear -- he will contact me - he has leads and series 60 flashes -- may be lucky there and I can 'Save' some more Gear From The Dump ! Don't Tell The Wife !!

Anyone got any Mecablitz Hammer Head Flash stuff gathering DUST ? I need the Mains Power Unit Number N21 or N20 NOT the Unit you plug into the battery holder to charge the Batteries -- I HAVE than one. I want the unit to run the flashes off the Mains.

I took out my lovely Asahi Pentax SV that I had not used for a long while with the Huge 35mm f2 Super-Takumar and outdated Fuji Superia 100 that had been to the Philippines and back and X - Rayed many times! Here I used f5.6 for this 'wall Art' on the Spread Eagle Pub here in Brentwood advertising the May 8th VE Day celebratons now all CANCELLED ! I also went around the Brentwood Catholic Cathedral Graveyard and took some spring flowers at a wide aperture.
