P3D Re: Nimslo Camera

[David Williams <davewill0@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Linda!

Thanks for the info!  I'll check the jewlery department tomorrow for the
batteries.  I had thought of that, but I was at work and didn't have time
tonight.  (I work at Wal-Mart).   What kind of accessory lenses do you use for
close ups?  Do you mean the screw in type closeup lenses for SLRs?  I have
several of those and they look like they'd fit over the two middle lenses.

Thanks again!

Dave
