Thank for viewing and thanks for bringing back memories from my younger days. I remember the "Connect the Dots" books and then I would color them with crayons when complete.

Excellent stack. Thanks for the review of your new lens. Very informative & detailed. Hopefully the glare won't be a problem when used outside.

Thanks, that's my hope for it as well. I can't over express the importance of "dead black with no light leakage" between the inside surface of the lens and attachment to the camera. Light from the lens is designed to travel in a tightly focused stream. If it can bounce and reflect inside the lens (or extension tube or bellows) those focused streams scatter and hit the camera sensor in an undesirable way....no good.

Those of us that shoot with assembled lenses and components take strides to "flock" the interior surfaces of our gear with adhesive black felt material. On manufactured "single piece" items we are at the mercy of the manufacturer to provide an dead black light absorptive interior surface and not one that has any reflective qualities.
