Girl clumsy
lost the first bit of plastic on the floor, twice
2nd time it never was found,
cut a second piece, got it on,
then couldn't mount the adaptor to the lens
so removed it
Made a third! a tiny bit shorter
struggle struggle tweezers, no tricks, but finally got it on
Bingo..took a few test shots of the cat and my feet and other interesting midnight subjects and posted my victory back here.
It was
1 HOUR from the time I posted I was off to do it, to posting I had done it!
I hope you are getting a laugh Lowell Goudge, I am sooo pleased with the result. thanks again, now I'm off to try and understand all the rest off the stuff brought up in this thread, thanks all.
