Collection......

I started this forum for any collecting hobby and it turned into my camera collecting and using forum. I use it mostly to keep a record of my photo adventures. Nobody but me seems to have photo adventures that visit here....but however. I have so many cameras now that I forget which is which and which ones work and which ones don't. If you have cameras and adventures you would be welcome to post here.

I have a Neewer lens spanner. You can get one like it on ebay from anywhere from around $8 delivered up to however much you feel like spending. One end of each vertical piece end is pointed and one is like a screw driver. Two nails through a stick will do the same thing ....but kinda primitive when the Chinese are making them for cheap.

I was going to but as the bathroom is pitch black after it goes dark ( the window is covered by an external roller blind ) there is no need AND working without a bag is much easier............ :lol: :lol:

Nothing appears wrong with the camera or lenses, just malfunction of operator :oops: It's amazing what you forget in 20 years :roll: :roll:
