spyderman Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Hello guys, <b>owners of the EF 50 f/1,8 II</b><br><br> this message is to all of you who are very disappointed with the built quality of this optically perfect glass. As many of you I also <b>miss the proper focusing distance scale</b> on my one and only favorite EF 50. But I decided to do something about it - not only <b>I made the focusing distance scale</b>, I also made it available for all of you <b>on my website.</b> I also added a manual how to make it, so just follow this link:<br><br> <a href="http://spyderman.ekodapo.sk/?s=t">Spyderman's homepage -> Tech Tips</a><br><br><br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citizensmith1664875108 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Have you just discovered bold or something? :) Thanks for the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco_buonocore Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Fantastic! What a top notch link. I really appreciate your posting it, as one of the reasons my Canon gathers dust these days is that I hated not having a DOF scale on the (granted, cheaper) lenses. Couldn't be happier!

spyderman Posted January 29, 2004 Author Share Posted January 29, 2004 Hi guys, Sorry, I don't have a digicam (but I promise I'll borrow one and post some photos) Well, actually using <html> <tags> is my addiction :o) And there's no need to be sarcastic, I just wanted to help (I also have the problem with dust inside of the lens, but it's my best glass anyway, since we in eastern Europe aren't as rich as you Americans are) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
