I've never heard of half this stuff that the replies are full of, so I save
them all, and continue to read. I'm a bit thick these days, I need to go back
up north to work, I miss the camp food, regular meals/ sleep cycle, cool fresh
air.. etc..(its supposed to be 31C this weekend, I wanna be like a dog and
crawl under the steps and bury myself in the dirt, or like a woman and spend my
days in the air conditiioned mall..
I'm still trying to understand what a Focal length means to me when I take a
picture of that girl in the bikini, and what the heck an F-stop is anyways?
It all sounds kinda kinky( ducking and grinning)
I managed to get ahold of the R*bel packin Geologist and he is sending my E500
manual back to me ( shipped yesterday) maybe I'll get to read it at camp, then
I'll understand a bit more...
oh yea.. Raynox..

I sent them an email to get more specific info on what products will fit the
E-series.. The website doesnt list EVolt series directly, but the pages show as
follows:
Magnification : Nominal 2.2X
Actual 2.2X/Diagonal,
2.2X/Horizontal
Lens construction : 2G/4E, made of optical glass lenses, all
surfaces fully coated.
Front filter size : 82mm
Mounting threads : 62mm
Size/Weight : 123 x 85mm/275g(9.7oz)
By using a suitable adapter and/or holder, the DCR-2020PRO lens
can be used with the appropriate digital still camera or digital
camcorder, effectively.ï¼?RA6252 for 52mm filter size and RA6258
for 58mm filter size two adapter rings are included with the
DCR-2020PRO)
<End paste>
so I would think I can use one of these lenses on my EVolt..Not sure if the AF
functions will work.. I think I can deal with the Vignettes issue, and it
certainly looks a little more reputable than the Tokina Eb*y listing.
I'm taking Garth's advice and not bidding on that... I will investigate this
Raynox a little more today.
I'll forward the reply when it comes..
Cheers..
