OK folks, how do you make a one microsecond flash? The one with the razor blade is stunning!

The problem is when one misses out for the sake of an extra 50Pence. However there seems to be a lot of glass about at the moment.I am still new to ebay, has it always been this way, or are you old hands seeing an increase in photographic items?

Davex.

Not an increase in the number of items but there sure is an increase in the price, due largely, I fear, to the weak pound.

Phil, lovely shot.

I hope you don't mind but here is my take on the spring theme...

Cheers, Kris.

Thanks Mike, a laugh in amongst the gloom. Sorry Shim, but you must admit it raises a smile.

CRM? In my world that is "Cultural Resource Management", US-speak for archaeology, believe it or not.

There are two FAs with slightly different apertures but completely different construction and look totally different, it is silver for a start!

This appears to be an F in an FA box... Same construction though so optically probably the same lens minus the power zoom.

Are you sure it is an FA then? Bojidar's website states that the FA has power zoom, the F doesn't. Unfortunately the photo of the FA on his website is rather poor but the two lenses look remarkably similar.

Not quite there yet, but I am getting better!

Oh... fiddlesticks. Thanks for the correction. Back to the drawing board!

Win some, loose some. I had a SMC Takumar 135 for a nice price, but it had oil on the blades. The SMC-K 135mm f/2.5 was also a nice price and is perfect.

I chickened out of doing the Tak myself and got Robin at Harrow Technical to do it. Perfect now. I was thinking of buying the case for it from the same seller as the over-priced f/2.5. At least oil on the blades is fixable whereas fungus can leave marks.

That 100-300mm is very underrated, they are actually very sharp at f/8 and even better at f/11. Can suffer from the odd bit of purple fringing usually around buildings.

shim

Any idea what manual focusing is like on this lens?
