new Summitar :)

[FrankS]

🙂 I'm thinking more and more, what goes around, comes around. 🙂

At the post office today when I was filling out a money order for the Summitar seller, I added an extra amount simply because I thought I got a really good deal. Afterwards, I received his email about the filters and lens hood.

The Rolleicord I just traded, I got a good deal on at a garage sale, and so passed that savings along.

horseshoe up your butt = being lucky

TFL = too f***ing lucky

sorry, i have a potty mouth 😉

 

[Hektor]

Oh right.................two nations divided by a common language, eh........

 

[hoot]

That was a Freudian slip, not a typo.

Will the Summitar take normal filters, or does it have a "special" (translation: pain in the butt) filter thread?

Frank, consider yourself one lucky guy. I'm still looking for a focusing mount for my Summitar. Hektor, do you still have one? If so, PM me. Thanks.

 

[FrankS]

Photodog, there's one selling at a camera shop/website that was suggested to me earlier with a very stiff aperture ring, for $150.

 

[FrankS]

What ! no barn-door lens hood ?

Yes, the barndoor lens shade and screw to M adaptor are still included.

 

[Hektor]

Photodog,

I swapped it for a projector, with a mate last week, I'll ask him if he'll give it back.

Where in the world are you ?

 

[hoot]

Um, what's a focus mount?

 

[Hektor]

It's the bit at the back that you twiddle to get sharp pictures, and yes Summitar filters are special, they only fit summitars, and nothing else fits summitars that I've seen.

 

[hoot]

You mean a focusing ring? I thought all lenses already came with one (well, except for point & shoot autofocus and fixed-focus lenses).

Thanks for your response.
