Thanks to both of you for the replies. I have used the helicoids several times in the creation of a "new" lens using older lens components. I couldn't find the model number so I wasn't finding the correct item on eBay. I'm all set now!

WTB Want to buy Minolta Bellows

I am looking for one of these bellows. Not the camera or lens. Anybody have one to sell?

Dieing

I'm a little south of you. I also happen to be a retired firefighter. You bet we have a drought. It is nearing severe. I am hoping that people will curb the private stuff this year and leave it to the pros.

Speaking of Apertures?

John N wrote:

Is there a 'correct' way to describe Aperture adjustments?

If you decrease the aperture you increase the 'f' stop value and conversely when you increase the aperture you decrease the 'f' stop value.

Don't know why, but it's been bugging me for a few days.

I say I am "opening up one stop" when going from one stop to one stop larger. Just explain
that I am letting twice as much light in, if I am speaking to a lay person. If I am teaching a class it get more involved.

Does that answer the original question?

Nikon Df. Opinions from users appreciated

I have the Df. If I lost it an had to replace it I would buy anther one. It is not a camera for everyone. If you long after one, you will probably love it. Mine is almost always in Manual mode. It is one of those things that probably can't be explained. If you want a rational, logical reason you probably won't find it.
