"Pepys" wrote in message ... "greg" wrote in message news:W%tTc.106276$gE.100305@pd7tw3no... Hi folks, While going through some old equipment I bought off my mom years ago that I'm preparing to sell, I came across this thing: http://66.51.108.232/images/fuji_thing.jpg Anyone tell me what this is? The white part on the bottom is semi-flexible and seems to fit snuggly onto a lens mount, but I can't figure out what it does. Thanks in advance. G Hi Greg I had a similar thingie many years ago (whick took some sourcing I can tell you). It was used when taking photos through glass windows etc., like from aircraft windows where glare back from the internal lighting frequently buggers up your images. It was designed to be placed firmly on the glass window blocking all extraneous refracted light from the window so the camera lens only saw what was outside. Sam I have this problem when taking pictures of fish in the tanks at the aquarium.....I use a rubber lens shade which allows the lens to fit snugly against the glass and still auto focus..... |

If so them it's probably a close up adapter. They used to make them that were nothing more than a spacing ring to move the lens out a bit. Then again it may be part of something else.

Why it's a metal eye cup, of course.
Boy, they sure don't make 'em like they used to... Excelsior, you fatheads! -Chris- |
