The central glass is not the way it had to be, so i asked a glass maker, for a correct replacement and i'm waiting for it...

At this time i miss the central smoked glass, sidearts (currently on working by a friend) and some other works here and there, but it's complete and enjoyable
So after more than 25 years i can finally play with it again.

Holy shit, mate...your camera has a breathtaking macro mode...shouldn't be a problem to make a drawing of your fingerprints  :shock:  ;)

You should consider to reduce the size of your pictures before uploading. I recommend the free tool Irfanview :)

I'm sorry but i don't know why some forums cannot resize the images by themselfe.
I removed the embedded code.
