40.5 hood follow up

[back alley]

in today's mail, received in what must be record time, from al kaplan in florida, was a 40.5 to series vi adapter (tiffen).

it's not pretty but she cleaned up well with some 'goo gone' and my series stuff fit well and now i have another option for the russian lenses.

it's the small things folks...

I'm sure Canada Post made a special concession when they noticed it was from Al... ;)

i think so too!
i just emailed him and asked who he knew in high places.

Probably it was sent via AKPS :D Did you keep the package ? Look for the post stamp version of the AK T-shirt :)

the good news is the adapter fits like a glove.
the bad news is, it's frozen on and won't come off.

makes a nice little lens hood now, all by itself.

agghhhh!

i had cleaned the adapter with 'goo gone', i wonder if i took all the 'slide' off the threads?
