Good work Marc, everyone needs one of these in their library.

Thanks Trev. Will try again once I get used to the lens.

How long you had that camera now? What do you think of it?

I can't use 35mm size camera lenses with my FLI, they won't reach focus, however the larger Pentax range of lenses for the 6X7 camera work, so I would love to have one of those.

Mike

Thanks Mike. I had the QHY8 since April last year. The Lens I used is from a Pentax *istD that I used to image with before right after my Nikon Coolpix. I had a special bayonet adapter made too for the lens to reach focus. It's approx 20mm thick. Love the QHY8. Excellent all rounder. Easy to use. No headaches.

Thanks Paul. Yeah, Thursday night was a quick one. I knew the weather wasn't too keen for the long week-end.
