I ordered one normal, one set to IR only, and one with the M42 adapter.

Then I woke up

Anyone able to explain why my Bank can give me what appears to be identical Insurance cover for buildings and contents for about one third of what I'm paying Saga ?

Some Castrol GTX flowing around would look nice

A reflection or two would maybe add that "something", for a few quid Sainsbury's sell a nice shinny black granite chopping board that may be useful for this kind of project.
Mrs Snap has just the thing, and she's out, must dash

Thanks Barrie, it's just photos of tools I've tried to lighten up the bottom left of #1 its looks different depending on which monitor I'm using. I agree #2 is too dark, especially the bottom right, I'll take it again with a bit of light reflected on the dark parts.

wow £30 for an empty box. He really is fishing for the noobs, gullible and desperate.

I'd be tempted to stick my 1.7 on Fleabay if he manages to sell that for £120.
Have a look at another of the chancers items! Link
I think it's great that even modified equipment is holding it's value so well I wonder how much Lens Mushrooms are going for, must be classed as an extra

If it wasn't fun we wouldn't do it. Just remembered I have another meter in a box somewhere, if the battery is ok I'll give that a try too

Tried the meter today. Used a 135mm M lens and camera in manual. Took a reading with the meter and set the aperture and shutter as read from meter. Don't think it was showing a true exposure so have removed the nice metal strap and consigned the meter to landfill
