Wine (was: Re: KR Lens Stuck on IST-D)
Cotty [EMAIL PROTECTED] tipsily offered: 'Stone the crows, I said, if another bleeding engine goes we'll be up here all day... Boom boom. Gianfranco, i don't know if you can tell but I opened that bottle of red you gave me in London, boy that's nice wine. Hmmm, I wasn't sure but your typing behaviour looked familiar to my tired eyes... I'm happy you did like it. What was that, Aglianico del Taburno? I'll buy you one more for the next meeting. Have a good journey, mate. Ciao, Gianco PS: ...and good luck with all the delays in the UK airports - by now you should be flying already, though. = _ __ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!

Ok, the crappy Sears lens that Tanya bought has managed to get stuck on her D. The aperture ring says KR, and it has an (A)P marking. Suggestions? tv Angle grinder. Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|www.macads.co.uk/snaps _
Re: KR Lens Stuck on IST-D
Hi tom, on 02 Jun 04 you wrote in pentax.list: Where exactly is the pin? AFAIK this pin stucks into the AF-cluth of the camera. I know of a case, where the *istD owner managed to remove a stuck Ricoh lens himself. So it should be possible - but be carefull! Don't try to cut the pin as metal filing might get into the camera and cause even worse problems. Cheers, Heiko
Re: KR Lens Stuck on IST-D
Before sawing, see if you can go in through the front of the lens and remove things. With extreme luck, you might be able to salvage the lens.

Re: KR Lens Stuck on IST-D
Hi, Glad your camera got fixed Of course this WOULD happen AFTER we visited all of the museums, monuments and many other scenes itching to be photographed today, courtesy of the Van Veen Whirlwind Tour of Washington DC. So, I will be returning to Australia with exactly ONE photo of myself to prove that I was actually in Washington DC. It is of me in front of Andy Warhol's cans of soup at one of the Museums that we attended. You missed an opportunity: http://www.tigtail.org/TIG/TVM/B/NAmerican/b.%20post%20WW%20II/warhol-andy/M/warhol_spam.jpg -- Cheers, Bob

On 2/6/04, tv no Tan no tv no Tan no tv no Tan oh hell's bells, discombobulated, offered: Ashlee is such a lovely lady and we have been shopping, eating, and even swapping clothes! Yeah I wouldn't mind a bit of that myself BTW, Cotty, I am getting kinda comfortable in my new sofa bed, so I am wondering how cold it will be for you out on the porch when you arrive, I think you'd be too tall to sleep anywhere else! I'll be happy to part with one of my 30 or so cushions though, so you'll at least have some creature comforts out there, and Ash has some lovely potted plants that you can sing to as you go to sleep... ;-P S'alright, I'm hoping to make friends with the apartment office lady... Packed all my bags tonight. This is ridiculous. I have the Lowepro stealth backpack with cameras, mac, lenses, wires, God-only-knows-what aboard as carry-on, along with 5 bottles of Wychwood's finest and a tin of RAF 75th anniversary ale (for Bill) which is incidentally ten years out of date but should bring back all sorts of memories for the old scallywag. That beer is in a marmot bumbag, or fanny pack as the yanks say. Fanny pack. Fanny pack. Fanny pack, ahh that sounds good. International email lists! Anyway, that's the carry on. The checked bagged is a roller-tote thing in black that looks like every other roller tote thing in black ever made so i've been customising it with white gaffer tape and a 357 hemi that'll suck the butt right outa the cat. Should look cute down the baggage claim, roaring its way towards me. Come to papa ...and an Eagle Creek large duffle which will easily enclose a Vulcan bomber including ground crew. I'm not kidding, this thing is big. Shows up on radar. I think even Tom will find lifting it with his manly biceps a considerable challenge. Still, it's under the maximum 32kg weight (individual item) so bollocks. In it goes. I found about 2 dozen recent copies of Amateur Photog knocking about so I'll leave em on Bill's tailgate so just pick em up and take one. Up and at em tomorrow morning, on the Heathrow bus at 10am ish, airborne about 3pm I believe. I must be one of the last to leave on this pilgrimage. It would be REALLY nice if I could have a shower after the flight as I don't thing they would take kindly to having to evacuate the Marrakesh restaurant due to obnoxious odours intervening and upsetting folk. No worries, the flight will be on time, I'll just go and have a word with the skipper and tell him to get a bloody move on mate and bollocks to all that headwind baloney. Like Leslie Nielson popping into the cockpit in 'Airplane' ( I'd just like to say good luck ). Actually the last flight I had, the pilot came on the PA and said we'd be ten minutes late arriving as we'd just lost an engine. An hour later he was on again saying we'd lost another engine and now we'd be 30 minutes late. Later still he was on again about how he was really sorry but number three had gone and now we were going to be two and a half hours late. 'Stone the crows, I said, if another bleeding engine goes we'll be up here all day... Boom boom. Gianfranco, i don't know if you can tell but I opened that bottle of red you gave me in London, boy that's nice wine. Anyway, on the verge of the edge of the cusp of this GFM lark, so watch out, Cotty's about.ready for the off! Tally ho! Expect a sober update from departure lounge 1300 ish GMT Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|www.macads.co.uk/snaps _

RE: KR Lens Stuck on IST-D
-Original Message- From: Andre Langevin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] From Monaghan site: ...surgery or brute force is needed to get them apart. If the lens to mount fit is a bit sloppy, sometimes a thin piece of plastic can be slid in and worked around enough to break it loose. In another case, a lot of torque on the mount sheared off the Ricoh pin and freed the mount. But then the lens lacked the P dedication. Where exactly is the pin? tv
