Hmm, I wanted to attach a picture...

but I get a message: Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.

The technical question was going to be - what is the shutter on this lens, and does anyone know where I can get a mounting ring? Compur, Sinar?

Looks like it's 32.5mm on the outside of the threads.

Ta,

Hi Neil

seems like more than a decent price for that lens - the 'no returns accepted' statement always amazes me, it deters potential punters.............................

teamwork or mr cad will almost certainly have a retaining ring

if you need any more detail regarding what sort of ring you need, there's an excellent table on the 'sk grimes' website

best regards

I ain't complaining about the price on that lens, Andrew - though the seller has not yet responded to a polite enquiry seeking the mounting ring.

I can't find anything on Mr CAD or Teamwork, but it looks like S K Grimes can supply for twenty bucks - I'll drop them a line. Or I found this one on ebay in Canada... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0340914437

Hi Neil

you will not find this item on either of their websites - cad's is notoriously never up to date - best to give them a call

Ah, gotcha.

Since I wrote earlier, I've had a polite note from the seller: he bought the lens with no retainer, but has some which he will inspect to see if any is the right size.

Let's see what happens.

Cheers,

Neil
