Hello, my name is Scott and I'm a photoholic.

That's how learning experiences work, My Sakar 135 bore the brunt of my inexperience.....the aperture ring don't stop and she is not only stiff as a board to focus but does not go to infinite focus anymore.....Maybe I should tare that one back down again and regrease it and find a baring to replace the one I lost

But it's such a sharp lens though.....

Well other than cleanliness and a need for re-greasing the lens is in great shape still so I think I'm doing fairly well. Do paper towels work for actual cleaning or do you just use them to keep hands dry? Well off to bed I'm already up later than I should be.

I use them mostly for my hands but on the threading they will work in a pinch, I have a bunch of industrial rags from back when I worked at the tube mill, I used those for the barrel and thread cleaning.

If I do tare down the 135, I'll photograph every step of the way for a show and tell. But I can't garentee anything....though.

That would be cool if you did. I should probably do the same for the 50mm just to have it available somewhere.

Documentation always helps when you are trying to figure things out or remember things you have forgotten how to do. I should remember that, but most likely I will forget.

So MK did you get yourself a table dance?

monkeykoder · Nov 24, 2008

I went out with my buddies instead.

Yemme · Nov 24, 2008

Hey you gotta start somewhere....

monkeykoder · Nov 24, 2008

Well we does what we does.

Big Bully · Nov 24, 2008

Hey one of his friends could have given a table dance Yemme.. I mean hey, you get drunk enough and wild things happen.. hahahahaha

monkeykoder · Nov 24, 2008

Well she is on the other side of the country... ****e all I'd have to do to get a lap dance if I really wanted to is go to a halfway decent party. I know at least 2 people that have parties that might be worth going to I just have to get ahold of them.

Documentation, documentation...... this is a foreign word to me. Documen.... OH! the destruction manual. Why didn't you say so in the first place. Now Meg, you know us guys don't read no stink'in documentation. Not any more than we ask for directions on a road trip. And maps, HA! They keep mak'in em upside down and stuff with the print all bass-ackards and funny to read. (Wifey said I had it upside down, but she aint no navigator.)

As long as I know the actual direction I'm going (North, South, East, West) I don't need no stinking map they just confuse you. Mind you this kind of driving doesn't work in the suburbs the roads are never straight and there are just too darned many of them.

How many times have you put things together wrong?? All you would have had to do is read the directions and the stupid tv stand would look like it's supposed to. :lol:

Yeah well, I just get ticked off about how awkward it is to refold the maps.

Thats just a way to say that it's not your fault for getting lost.
