Sorry Mike, it has all gone now. I'll be posting the stuff off later this morning.Wouldnt mind the adaptall mount if its still available?
I am glad that it has all gone to good homes, I hate throwing stuff away. That could be the reason I can barely get around the flat these days.

On my ME Super I used manual rather than the Ev adjustment as I found it to be very fiddly, and easier to get right on manual.I'd be interested to know if people resort to manual in preference to Ev adjustment.
On the K10D I have become lazy. I take the photo, check the histogram, dial in EV if needed, re-take the photo. Hence my preference for static subjects....
I ought to use manual more to enforce some discipline!

Yes. I use esnipe all the time. Means that I do not get tempted to enter a last minute bidding war and pay more than I wanted to in the heat of the moment.
Shim's experience is the bad side of ebay but where else would I have found a brand new replacement catch for my MEII winder, or a replacement missile for my Dinky UFO Interceptor I was given as a kid?

Sorry to hear of your bad luck shim. I hope someone takes this seriously and catches the perpetrator. It is that sort of scam that ruins ebay for the rest of us.

Very true, but Hefty always gets good prices which shows that playing the game well makes a difference. I'm always checking out the bad listings ("Pnetax camera with stuff") and peering at out-of-focus pictures to snaffle a bargain but I think Clarky always beats me to it ...thats the 'fun' of auctions....not just an ebay thing, but been happening in auctions for centuries...

1 sec, 1/2 sec, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60... etc.
So if you gain an extra stop on the lens (say by opening up from f/2.8 to f/2) you can increase your shutter speed by one stop (from 1/15 to 1/30).
Hope that helps!
