Yeah, maybe, but rightly so, Ian. That is some work you've done there. Excellent. What was the lens by the way? I've been looking for a SMC Pentax A 16mm f/2.8 for a while now. (Came across one from LennyB some time ago - that went in a nanosecond. It was a great price and quality knowing John.) So it goes... (sigh).

Its the Pentax DA Fish-Eye 10-17mm F3.5-4.5 ED... I can recommend it!!!

The words in the sculpture in the first one seem very appropriate for a fisheye - 'Twisting, turning...'

Thank for your appreciation! Also... that's the Dambustees memorial at Derwent Dam.

Peter.... it certainly does!! I love lenses that are subjective, and the FE is probably the most subjective lens i have ever owned.

It's a K5.... but its not the actual camera mount... its the lens mounting ring to attach the lens to a tripod /monopod

You should try using a wax based lubricant, if any. Dirt, grime or whatever other sh!t you may encounter won't stick to it,

Would beeswax do the job?

Hey guys,

Just wondering if i could get some advice?

I have the Sigma 150-500 and the tripod mounting ring is a smite stiff and bitey... I was wondering what woukd be the best grease to use to free it up and get it rotating smoothly. Would it best using mineral or silicone grease, or something else?

Thanks
