Three weeks ago I decided to put one of my macro lenses on Ebay. I have far to many macro lenses and it was the Makro-Kilar 1:2 type (2.8/40mm). The winner, I...
It is this combination of absurd policies and over-priced fees that has me thinking twice about listing stuff on ebay these days, and opting for a local sale...

To all who commented on my incident: This morning the buyer of the Kilar reported receiving the lens in good order. He is perfectly happy with it! He had not...
Funny enough I get this a lot. I find it funny because I only buy on Ebay and rarely sell. But I had these mails often and I'm allways amazed by the complete...
I just got one of these 400mm lenses after hunting about a little. Anyone have experience with it? I've got quite a few lenses, but this one has a feature I am...
Richard, I'm not familiar with this particular lens, but I've seen a lot of lense that have a removable filter holder. Pull the holder out, put in the filter,...

I have had an Enna 400 f4.5 for about 15 years (s\n 2467211). The optics IMHO are quite good and it has given me good service - it weighs a ton and I usually...

Richard, Watch the tightness of the focus closely. The focus ring will make a snapping sound - start slipping and in about 2 or three full turns will fail....
