The CZickness XXXVIII....To Honor a friend

[gmcttr]

BOOM .... its a beauty (for a photographer) ! It has (20) individual lens elements, and weighs over 4 pounds !

But does it make a decent magnifier if you look through it backwards?

Have you been taking lessons from the guy at the range who mounted his scope backwards ?

I'm feeling cocky tonight ! ..... top-of-the-world, actually.

My wife practically forced me to push the 'buy' button on a very expensive camera lens. I haven't bought a new lens in a couple of years, and this one, with its' 600 mm focal length, will be able to bring things much closer .... airplanes, birds, deer, .... whatever needs to be brought closer.

My Christmas just got BIG !

Whoa!

The gardener and I watched the "Christmas Star" this evening, wanted to take a moment to wish all of the group a Merry Christmas.

Good to see you Leadeye! Not much has happened while you were out. Some purchases were made, work was done, etc.

LOL...nope. Dad was a photographer and if he needed a good magnifier he would grab one of his Leica lenses.

Merry Christmas Leadeye. Brent and I were trying to channel some Leadeye energy tonight while restoring an old Enfield to mostly stock configuration

You have to be an Indian to know these things.

I reckon so.

Friday night for me. Chili and a beer, an hour of TV and now a bump of Larceny bourbon b4 I hit the hay.

Leadeye, Merry Christmas to you, the long suffering gardener, and your children. Your presence here is sorely missed.

Enfield looks good, Tim.

I used to turn a 50mm Nikon lense over to check proof sheets when I was shooting for the paper years ago, Reed. Still can't afford Leica lenses although I do own a set of their binos. Great glass.

Carlos, pillars are a minor pain. I turned my last set out of some brass plumbing fixtures using a file and the drill press. Can't think of the name of the pieces I used right off hand. Rimfire Central search might give you some handy tips.

Merry Christmas, one and all.

 

[MindfulMan]

Happy Friday night to my bud, patience !

Honestly, I know nothing about Enfield, but it's wood & steel .... and old like me. It looks like a fun project, 88 !

Thank you MJ. We must get TT and get together soon.

Nice telephoto, by the way.

I'm certainly for it, RP ! .... and thanks.

Man there is some project work going on in this cold weather.
New rifles.
Tuning on existing ones.

TD get me some specs on the pillars you need and I will turn them out for you on the lath. I have the materials.

I also had beer and chili last night, even though it was my Monday...
