These are superb negatives and well composed topics! You've done very well and have the procedure down to an expert level. Keep up the great work and share some more.

Thanks so much, I appreciate that. Sometimes it feels like yelling into the void!

What a beauty! May I trouble you for a picture or description of the plastic buffer? I love shooting my Retinas, but hate having to do bob my head around when composing so that I don't scratch my glasses by getting too close!

The lenses on these little cameras produce some great images, especially for something that fits inside a coat pocket - even if it does weigh the pocket down quite a bit!

Sorry I hadn't seen this earlier but here's a picture of the eyepiece. When I had the camera serviced they were able to coat the part with a plastic material while the camera was disassembled. I've also tried Sugru moldable plastic in a IIc and it worked well.
