Yep, the Flinders are my old stomping grounds.. beautiful up there,
especially in the spring with all the hillsides covered with various
coloured flowers... I really need to get back there with some Velvia...
Hmmm, so you're the *sniper* who boosted the price 53%.... ;) I figured
someone would have a snipe out but I had to leave 10 mins. before the end of
auction and was surprised to end up with it.
Looking at these adaptors I may pick up a second one rather than fiddling
around changing them... Somehow I doubt that the 80-210 will see much use
and will probably end up back on *bay at some point... it is a bit lighter
and faster than the 50-250 Zuiko though, so I'll give it a try and might get
back to you for the hood... ;)
Thanks,
RickM
