That's very sad, I suspect like most people here I only knew Ron by his postings but he helped me with advice from time to time and I generally tried to check his postings - he posted pictures not ...

Hey I love that first pic, real nice. Rod

OK I'm no expert but I believe that most common adapters to fit old manual lenses onto modern mirrorless bodies would not have the aperture operation lever (especially if it's a different lens ...

Hi I snapped these ducklings last year as they stopped to drink out of a puddle. Just thought I'd share and listen to those  aaahh's  :-) Thanks for looking, Rod
