Bought some carb cleaner for my new motorcycle (which was free so technically not a purchase, but pics to follow) but still couldn't get the bitch running. Needs a new battery. :grumpy:

Just keep spraying the battery with the carb cleaner. Something is bound to happen eventually :dopey:

Used to have a blast melting styrofoam cups with carb cleaner when I worked at a harley davidson dealer in high school :lol:
 
Spoiled this one:

Saw a Pentax ME Super in a shop window today and it had a nice looking lens on the front so I decided to buy it. When in the shop the guy came out and brought a bag/box full of bits including the below. Also it had a shutter release (old mechanical kind) a 2X teleconverter and 3 extension tubes.

The lenses are in good condition considering. I've also ordered the Pentax to Fuji FX adapter to use the lenses on my new X-E1.

The Box/bag/case




A Soligor 75-205mm zoom


A Chinon 28mm F2.8


An Asahi SMC Pentax-M 50mm F1.7

All for £30! Bargin. Ohh and the camera had a roll of film thats been used still in, I'm going to get it developed. I just hope its not evidence of a crime or anything :scared::nervous::sick:

:cheers:

Also, I believe so. It came through amazon.com, so I'd assume so.

EDIT: I checked. They ship almost anymore in the world. Maybe not in the middle of the Atlantic, though.

That's what I call a great deal. 👍



Just got these:

Sorry for the crappy phone pic.
€40 for both. The build quality and feel of these things is just amazing. One's going to my Minolta Dynax/Maxxum 5, the other's going to be used in Nikon cameras (with the adapter, still to be purchased).

In about a week I'll have 2 related items that I've been wanting to get for a loooooong time. Will post pics as soon as they're in my house.

The only thing I know is that the guy who sold it to the shop I bought it lived one street away from me. Other than that I'm not sure. It's a green felt inside with a pocket in the lid. Outside its metal construction with leather covering it and a leather shoulder strap.

They look nice. I'm now hunting down as many old manual film lenses I can :)
 
I got my hotel reservations set for Petit Le Mans. Same place I've always stayed, the Jameson Inn in Winder, GA, just 20 minutes from Road Atlanta.

Are we talking about those adapters with corrective glass, so that it can focus to infinity?
 
I don't want to be a party pooper, but I once bought a similar adapter for using Canon FD glass on my D200 and the result was absolute crap - exactly because of the poor quality of the correctional glass.

I really hope you have better luck than I did and look forward to seeing some samples of that combo when you do have it. 👍
 
Yeah, I've checked that too, since I've never used adapters before, but the one I'm getting seems to be (hope it checks out) a good quality one. It better be, for €56... :ouch:
 
Not pictured, a few shorts I bought at Target yesterday, and a 2 packs of socks.


Today, my Pokemon order arrived. I had to open it right away.

Yeah, the build quality is amazing. I have one lens that is a warrior basically since I've dropped it and it's been scraped up. It still works. I simply hate the new Nikon lenses.. Like you guys I've been holding onto and collecting lenses since they'll never be built like that again.
