Well the camera adapter arrived yesterday. And the cloud kept rolling in, LOL. I never got a chance to try it last night but I thought I should show everyone how it arrived.

It arrived in a small square brown box, no packing slip or instructions. Inside this box there was the package, a plain silver cardboard box. Now in the excitement, I thought I had misplaced the instructions/description/receipt. A further inspection of nothing revealed nothing. So documentation is not that high for the supplier – obviously? Starting to worry about the $100 Canadian I paid for this – I was thinking to myself?

SO the acid test – I thought I would call in on Scott Alder and get him to throw it on the camera to check it on the way home. Did that – didn’t seem to work? OK do I panic now or later? I thought later, and test it last night. So I mowed the lawn and never got back to it.

SO this morning, I thought I would put it on my 400D – snug fit and looks at though it would work. The build of the unit looks OK, as with anything that is glued together, but the machined parts look great, including the screw. I suspect I will have to try it tonight on a star or streetlight – as it does not work for a scene like a roof or trees (that’s what we tried the first time). So the jury is out until the evidence is there to condemn it, or praise it?
