<p>John Harper,<br> That is a very realistic shot of that train and grain elevators. Very nicely done. </p>

<p>Bill, I got a chuckle from your entry about the "right of passage". So I'm "officially in". Thanks.... </p>

<p>I am sorry for posting a photo of a puppy on the Monday in Nature forum.<br> I was given a friendly reminder that photos of dogs are not allowed.<br> I need to be more cognizant of the rules in the future. <br> But I see that the photo has been removed. Didn't mean to upset the apple cart. <br> John P.</p>

<p>Bill, That is a great B&W shot. Very nicely done. </p>

<p>John Harper,<br> My late father-in-law was "Train Nut" I mean he was train crazy. And he was a model train enthusiast who had an<br> enormous lay out in his second floor of his house. It took up an entire huge bedroom. He loved his Hudson locomotives but he never had a gold plated one. He made is own engines and wrote articles for Railroad Modeler magazine. </p>

<p>Thanks Dave I have a lens hood coming in the mail any day now and I'm loaded with Kodak TMax 400. <br> I will post some shots if they are decent. :-))</p>

<p>Dave,<br> Thanks a lot for all your information on trying to fix the problem with my lens ring on my Mamyia C220.<br> I actually created a tool from a small piece of pine cutting the end of it with my jig saw to fit the inside circumference of the lens ring. I tapped the wood very lightly with a small hammer and I actually was able to get that dented area rounded off enough to accept the filter. All is well. <br> I figured if I buggered it up any worse that I would replace the entire lens but I got lucky and I am excited to try the camera. <br> Thanks again for your help Dave. <br> John</p>

<p>Dave,<br> Thanks for responding with your suggestions. I tried to loosen that chrome knurled ring just with my fingers but it would not budge. Before I try putting a tool to it I jut needed to know if in fact it was made to screw off. <br> If in fact it does then I could reverse the ring on the taking lens with the one on the viewing lens where a filter would not be needed. I did try the filter on the viewing lens just to make sure it was the right size and yes, it did work fine on the viewing lens. So I guess my next question is it safe to apply light pressure with a tool to remove the chrome ring. </p>

<p>I have just acquired a very nice Mamyia C220 which has a ding in the nurled filter ring on the taking lens. <br> Does that ring screw off and does anyone know where I can obtain a ring that is not dinged so that I can use a filter. This particular lens takes a 40.5mm filter. <br> Thanks<br> John</p>
