Some things are meant to be...sigh...

I recently cried on the collective shoulders of RFF, all about how my Konica Auto S2 had an inoperatve aperture, and how I'd found and bought a set of spanners, and immediately got in over my head while trying to dismantle the lens barrel to get to the problem.

Realizing how inept I was, I immediately sold the spanners. Guess what...

There's somebody in the world more inept than me. The folks who sold me the spanner set sent a second set. Maybe this means that, (after a proper time for them to realize the mistake and (theoretically) request the package returned, and after I tell them I'll do so if they send a pre-paid mailer, and they fail to do so.)...I'll attempt it again! We'll see...

I'm currently awaiting a Konica C35 EF I found for CHEAP on the 'bay, and will practice my (lack of) skills on THAT unit. What a long, strange road it seems...
