How awesome - I made the request earlier today, and just noticed the change is in effect. We've got a new "lens" listed on DPC here.
Sorry to hear about your lens Michelle - is it warrantied? |

Tease!
Details????
Michelle, it must be something in that range.
I lost my 55-200 to a barrel breakage.
It was my highest producing lens.
It's tough to be a klutz and live.......8>(

thought the link was sufficient... we didn't have site recognition for zone plate before, and now we do. Now we just have to get people shooting with it. :) It looks not much different than the "custom made pinhole", they just haven't got a picture up of it yet. Something by way of an explanation here.
Don't expect a run of interest in this really, but I just got tired of choosing "no lens specified" in my image details, so I asked that it be added. |

| Karen - no warranty. I don't think it would be covered anyway. I was doing a photo for the SP, it was on a tripod, I walked past the tripod, and knocked it over. It fell on the carpet but I thought it would be ok. But the manual focus rotating barrel just stopped working last night. And now it won't focus at all :( Klutz indeed. |

Ugh, sorry to hear that (the no-warranty lens part, not the klutz part - we're all klutzes at one time or another, so don't sweat that :) )
Hey, you could turn this into a marketing opportunity - the colorcarnival photo-mat, a spongy 2-inch thick "doughnut" circular mat that covers a 6 foot perimeter around your tripod. Protect your investment, buy Photo-Mat today!

So this is the first time that I have had 3 challenges up at once. Nice to see that they are sucking along this well :). On another note it is my birthday today I'm 55 and really enjoying this old age stuff. Everyone wants your time and money! I like my AARP card.

Well, I *did* look at the lens details, but since I'd never heard of a zone plate, or the whole diffraction thing before this, I thought I'd ask.

I completely forgot, Rosemary! I meant to start a thread when I got up, but I overslept and our new boss is a "You MUST be here at 0730!" kinda guy (and he checks) and I was in a panic. Last time I worried about being to work "on time" was in high school, by the way...
Anyway.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! |

Oh no ...I'll be thinking of you in the next few days and hope for the best. |
:-( sorry for your loss...maybe it can be fixed? duct tape maybe?
And Rosemary, huge happy birthday! have fun!

I'm thinking WD40, since the lens barrel doesn't move though it should.
Duct tape is for things that move when they shouldn't.

Well, I am in for Morning and I expect it to suck. I hate mornings and now I hate shooting for mornings....but it will give me 3 entries at once for the first time in a long time.

Kashi's right, and I wasn't really expecting to be taken seriously, lol!
But seriously, I have heard of wide rubber bands coming in handy for situations involvong lens barrels, so should you get it moving again, maybe try a RB to stabilize barrel?
