<p>No need for messy powdered graphite. Loosen the clamp, tilt the ball over into the slot, get your #2 pencil and start shading the surface of the ball. Coat the whole ball. No mess.</p>

<p>12 years since my last response above; there's a fellow online selling adaptors for the c3 Cintar to E-mount and M43 mount mirrorless digital cameras. He is enthusiastic. Pay him a visit and keep that lens in service.</p>

<p>Adobe "Camera Raw 8.5" update for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements will accommodate in-camera raw files from Sony Alpha 7. I updated my PSE 12 today for my recent *bay purchase of a broken "parts-only" A7. The seller warns: "Don't put an aftermarket soft release on your A7". The shutter button stem is extremely thin plastic. If the soft release snags on your jacket lapel or anything else, it will snap the button stem like a twig. I can attest that the broken shutter button stem is extremely thin dia. My recently acquired "broken" A7 (otherwise flawless) is currently being triggered by the remote shutter release app via laptop PC. Fortunately, the optional 2-battery grip has a an additional shutter button, so I ordered one tonite.</p><div></div>
