    <p>Let's hope your friend does it without damage to himself.</p>

    <p>Clearly the shop owner does not think that one sign-board is enough.</p><div></div>

    <p>I don't think there was ever a "Nikon f2.0 90 LTM". Perhaps you mean the 85/2. My Canon 100/3.5 worked well on my Sony A7.</p>

    <p>I was left with several Leica mount lenses -- 35, 50 and 100 LTM, 90 M -- after I sold my M6 and Nicca. For a while I used them, without trouble, on my A7: but after a while I bought manual focus Nikkors, which are as good but which cost a good deal less.</p>

    <p>Professor Madan pensive. This is not posed although it looks that way.</p><div></div>

    <p>After a gap I did satisfying portrait work. Professor T.N. Madan, sociologist, is an old family friend.</p><div></div>

    <p>Thank you, Kenneth. The lenses won't fetch much if sold -- but they are good and have great use value. I shall see how it goes with the E-3 when I work at f/5.6 or f/8.</p>

    <p>Thank you, Brian. I was in the Brighton-Falmer-Lewes area for four years in the 1970s but didn't even hear of Boxgrove.</p>

    <p>Many cameras and flash-guns can have the pre-flash disabled. Some slave units can also be set to ignore the pre-flash. The manuals for the XT1 and the Nissin should show you the way. For combining the outputs of two flash-guns you might try manual mode rather than TTL.</p>

    <p>... and one with the 25mm f/2.8 lens.</p><div></div>

    <p>The earlier photo was taken at night with bounced flash. As there may not have been enough light for the auto-focus, I took another in daytime with the same 14-54 lens.</p><div></div>

    <p>Thank you, Brian. Where is this niche and what purpose did it serve?</p>

    <p>Wayne, the back focus is seen with three of my four lenses.</p>
  16. mukul_dube
    <p>My E-3 came back today, a month and a day after it was sent -- for the second time -- to Creative Peripherals in Mumbai (Bombay), the authorised service centre of Olympus.<br> The photo shows that back focus was not corrected. I had focussed on the middle match-box but those to the left, farther from the camera, are sharper.<br> It is particularly annoying that Olympus in Japan and in Singapore, their HQ for the Asia Pacific region, knew of the problems with my camera and that it had gone to Mumbai.</p><div></div>

    <p>John, that the lads in the shop now wear glasses is a result of my repeated needling or sermons or whatever term is appropriate.</p>
  18. mukul_dube
    <p>I see no misspelling, Sanford. Of course "post" should be "posts".</p>

    <p>I agree that you should work with the 28 and the 50 until you actually feel the need of something between them, or of something wider.</p>

    <p>I had an example of the Jupiter of which Jochen speaks. It worked well and did not cost much. However, it has a bulbous rear which does not go into all cameras. My CV Ultron was also good until it developed haze: although some may not like its size. But my favourite was the Summaron f/3.5 which I used on an M3 for seventeen years. I understand that the f/2.8 version is somewhat better.</p>

    <p>Auto-correct and auto-complete can be dangerous, Howard. A woman I know sent this to her son to explain why she did not allow his friend to enter her house: "He looked like a vagina." She swears she had meant to write "vagrant".</p>
  23. mukul_dube
    <p>Any well corrected lens should be as good for monochrome as it is for colour. The collapsible Summicron was a good lens for its time, as was the earlier Summitar; but you may find the Nikkor 50/2 better.</p>

    <p>Howard, for the second successive week you have re-named the month. Does me no good as I am diabetic and must stay away from jam.<br> Niraj, who has looked after my computer for several years, refills a printer's ink cartridge.</p><div></div>
