Confess now, it'll get better :-)

Jim (kernow) keeps teasing us with great macro pics all the time and I SO want that lens. But no, that lens is so rare I might as well give up. Actually can't decide what I'd like more atm: a) FZ70 or, b) Minolta no.1. Oh those problems of today's world..

OMG, misspelled the title, doh..
I meant the 'Minolta no.0 of course!

The #0 is just +0.94 diopters, a working distance of over a metre.
Is that what you want? What's your closest working distance without
an achromat?

Just my two oere

I have both the no.1 and no.2, so the no.0 would be logical addition.

Actually I bought a set, Minolta No.0, No.1 & No.2 from eBay. Then I
sold the Minolta No.0 I already had purchased from Adorama to Trevor.

I think I even remember that you bought a set of three, my set had only two of them. Please keep posting and I'll keep dreaming..

When I bought mine they were still available new from Adorama, at the time people kept asking why I wanted one as they are not powerful lenses. Now lots of people seem to want them.

I would just put it in your favourites on eBay, so that you get an E-mail when one pops up, and then at least you will have a chance to snag one.

and at this time of year it spends many hours on the front of my FZ50 but come the autumn I suspect it will be pining for that Florida Sunshine.

...and here's one I made earlier

Done that. I even saw them at B&H for $20, S&H fees started from $55. And when I order from the USA I calculate additional 25% for taxes. That lens is good, but I'm not willing to pay $100 for it, not yet..

Estonia? I wonder if they are on USPS Priority Mailing list. If so I might be able to save you on the shipping. I can check if you like, the shipping if they are included would run $11.00 or $12.00 USD, so much better than $55.

OK, just checked, it could be shipped to you from the US and get to you in under 10 days, for $12. If interested send me an E-mail.

but I purchased a mint set of # 0, 1, 2 ten days ago on e-bay. Lucky me, got them for $ 51 incl. S & H. The next day, another set sold for $ 130. But before that, there was a long dry spell.

Now comes the problem. I have to put them to as good use as Jim does and show that I'm worthy of owning them - no easy task.

I do have some practice from my Nikon 3T & 4T, which I sold within 24 hours (3T) resp. 10 minutes (4T).
All that stuff is getting rare.
