  1. <p>Great info Oe James , those older Porro binoculars are sure worth using I thought yours where the 7x50 mostly used at sea.<br>

    I used my 7x50 Marseptit a number of years sailing our coast right up to PNG. Like your Binuxit mine could do with a service , I have a late 10x42 Trinovid as well but those old porro ones if in good order have real relaxing view its just right. Glad your,s are back in order , I will inquire with Gus the price is well worth it.</p>

  2. <p>I fitted two of these adaptors and removed them for this very reason , placed them in the bin. A better and more elegant option is the Optix 5 from HappypageHK , no such problem and the ease of programming is a bonus , just use the DOF button to register aperture focal lenght and ven relocate focus confirm in case of error.</p>
  3. <p>My Canon EF 50mm f1.4 does have some small amount of barrel distortion but I am always happy with the results. The lens is not too sharp wide open but fine at f2.8 as to the build quality I too wish Canon would do us all a favor and redesign the mechanics, its worse than poor. May be Canon does not have the time after all we need a new DSLR every four month more than a reliable working lens.</p>

     

  4. <p>The Summarit 50mm I have used was f1.5 it would not be my choice , never used a Summilux but the second non ASPH would be a very capable lens for the right price. Made by Leitz or Leica.</p>

  6. <P>Paul like Richard I live in Melbourne and I must agree with his statement USPS is extremely reliable I have had many such shipments from the USA even from B&H. While this is so one parcel comes to mind some years ago I purchased a beautiful Vito III ( that auction site ) the seller stated it has shipped, waiting and questioning him for more than 90 days I lft a neg FB. The camera arrived some 30 days later that was now more than 4 month. Post Office USPS stamp date for shipping correct shipped the time advised by seller. My apologies to the seller duly noted can not be changed except for update. I am whriting this here in hope you will still see the parcel get there.</P>

  7. <p>Hi Robert, I have a Ikoblitz 5 and a pack of Philips PF1B 6 bulbs. Like most this flash requires a 15v batterie but you may fit a 12v mini available everywhere it will fire the flash. Set the batterie in with a spacer. The Ikoblitz actually works on my IIIG with its cord the fan is bright and clean it winds back, only the cover for transport is missing. If you are interested send me a note its free. Bulbs would be a problem for you no bulbs where made for some years, old stock is extremely priced.</p>
