have a look in B&Q or similar , i bought a pack of mixed O rings from them and found what i needed amongst them.

great set Gareth, love the last one. A sea of good looking Triffids

Fair play Nigel, not sure i would be that brave, having ended up knee deep in mud in the past . Well worth it though, excellent images and possibly quite rare due to the effort needed. good to have you back.

Bargain basement now, £135 the 2 inc p&p

anybody want to make an offer? sensible one that is

been looking again and perhaps price is a bit optimistic although it has only taken around 50 shots. so reduced to £145 inc p&p or leave it where it is and i will bundle a Pentax A50mm f1.7 , in very good condition, in with it.

30 sec will not give you much of a trail . this was K5 with 107 30 sec exposures blended together in Star trax , a free piece of software, at least in 2013. ISO200 ,f5.6, 15mm limited on Gorillapod tripod on the ground, camera set to continuous shooting , fired with wired remote and just let it run. Had a full moon behind me shining on gate. no dark frame reduction, you can turn it off. Shouldn't be needed at 100-200 iso levels i don't think.

this is the new version with removable lens hood, just not getting any use so time to move it on. Comes with Caps and box but somehow have lost internal packaging but it will be well protected. It is in excellent condition. Price £175 inc RM next day signed for postage. Can be collected in Stroud or Junction 13 M5 also could meet up in Gloucester or Cheltenham .
Images of lens and some taken with it.








as it says KR on it just to show there is no Ricoh pin, only noticed that when taking the picture.

thanks for comments and looking. Still getting to grips with this lens in terms of subject matter, find the 1meter min focus distance a bit of a bind but love the subject seperation that can be had if you get it right. The rose and the red pod appear to have a 3 dimensional look for me.

item sold, thanks Ian for a smooth transaction, enjoy the lens.
