Re: This G6 Wasn't Supposed To Work

Nice pictures and I like my G6  :)))

A couple of years ago I bought a G6 Dental Kit that had the extension tube, a close-up lens and a specially made flash diffuser. That purchase didn't include the original lens ring. Since then I have been looking for (and not finding) one so I could remove the tube and make the camera a bit more compact.

Last week I was given a nice deal on a parts/not working camera that had a good undamaged ring. When I received it in the mail I discovered the camera also came with an OEM battery and a 1GB CF card! Being curious, I charged the battery, put it in the camera and it powered up perfectly. Everything works as it should except the Main Dial is a bit jumpy. No problem, the navigation arrows are fine. The body was a little dirty but the lens is perfect. When I took the camera out today for a test I was kind of hoping the sensor would be bad. It, too, is perfect!

So, I'm right back to still needing a lens ring.
