don_boyd3 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 OK users of the FD TS lens. Mine arrived today and I think I'm going crazy. I have the tripod adapter, hood, caps and a POS of a case. Threw the case out. I have tons of Lowe-Pro stuff for that. My build code is S1001 (Oct 78). I cannot for the life of me find a serial number. If someone answers turn the Tilt Control Button counterclockwise and the serial number comes up in the viewfinder I'm gonna be p****d (LoL). Anyway my new toy is going out to be Oikawa-ized before I put it on my F-1n. Stay tuned. Don B in Hampton Roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_boyd3 Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Never mind, that was my stupid twin brother (or sister) that posted the above stupid question. I told him (or her) if you move the aperture off fully open the serial number would suddenly appear. 13391, Family trait I think.

timwitt Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hey Don, You never said anything before about having a twin! Now the lens heads to Sun City and will come back like new. Just like my EF and FTb. Mr. Oikawa also installed a split prism focus screen in my FTb. He supplied the screen. Shot a roll of Reala today in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

don_boyd3 Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Rene, one should never start any new photo adventure without a sufficient supply of focusing fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_boyd3 Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Tim, I'm jealous. We're coming back up to the hills sometime for fall leaf-peeping. Been looking at Mabry Mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_boyd3 Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Mr. Oikawa is alive and well, talked with him last night. This bad boy lens is on it's way for his TLC. I can't find a single wear mark on the exterior so hopefully he cleans and lubes and sends it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
