Oi, rise my son...even poor'ol talentless Jase can process Ha

Yes as I have said before the 6" AP lens is a force for its size

Cheers Fred, 30min of data only and such a widefield..?..must annoy the shight outta ya?

From memory I think had a dodgy sub but used it anyway cause I only had 20min without it..? Or it may have been when I was having flop problems with my AP flatenner - one of the three retaining screws in the Pentax fitting was missing and I never knew so the weight of the camera could tip it out considerably Since replacing the screw last year I have had no more problames
