George, I really wasn't aware of your mentioning this tip before.
It just 'sprung' off my mind. I'm using empty canisters all of the time !
They're ideal for temporary storage of small parts while you do a CLA
on a camera. They're just for free at your local camera shop.

Thanks for the good words George. I'll try my best.
I'm working on a viewfinder for the Realist at the moment which includes
a level. I'm not using the existing viewfinder/rangefinder on the
Realist very much and I'm very bad in holding my cameras horizontal.
I'll report on this list as soon as I've more to tell.

Brian,

All sorries accepted. No hard feelings whatsoever. In my original mail
I wanted to let (all of) you make the choice between a plain and
to-the-point message with a lot of content and, on the other hand,
a contribution with lots of ads, reciting of other mails and things
like that. Sometimes a mail contribution is only 10% original content
and the rest is just 'You're paying too much for your internet' and
other gobble-di-gook. And then again, just to give my own mail some
real content, I put the tip in for the filters.
Maybe not a good idea. I'm learning all of the time !

I'm in digest mode so this reaction may be a little late.

Keep up the good work all of you !

Cheers,

Peter (I'm not a native speaker) van Zuijlekom
