I learned (the hard way) many years ago not to loan out TOOLS or CAMERA EQUIPMENT to FRIENDS and even FAMILY MEMBERS. Some equipment loaned out was returned broken or otherwise damaged and not replaced or repaired. Also when drinking tequila, (especially aged), thinked of it like your favorite treasured lens - sip it neat and forget the salt/lime combo as it takes away the good feelings.

HOW ABOUT LOOKING INTO THE "GO PRO HERO". IT DOES EVERYTHING BUT GRIND COFFEE. IT HAS MOUNTS AND ADAPTERS FOR ALL KINDS OF SITUATIONS AND IS A MULTI FUNCTION STILL/VIDEO/SOUND CAMERA.

ON MY NIKON FILM CAMERAS I USE "DIOPTER" EYE LENSES THAT SCREW INTO TO THE VIEW FINDER. THEY USUALLY COME IN =/- 3 POWERS. THEY MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR OTHER FILM CAMERAS. FOR MY NIKON DSLR (D40X) IT COMES WITH AN ADJUSTABLE EYEPIECE. MY BEST ALTERNATIVE TO DATE IS HAVING CATARACT SURGERY. NOW I HAVE TO GO AND RESHOOT ALL MY PICTURES FROM THE LAST ???NUMBER OF YEARS.
