Wow, I couldn't have said it better than Chris. I just hate it when I go into a lens from the "wrong" end. Happens often though. Need to get used to that kind of thing. In fact, my repair adventures have taught me to embrace frustration as a normal result of tinkering. Of course, what I really mean is I learn to manage frustration -- even harness it. I certainly agree that a decent digital camera with close focus (macro?) ability is a very worthwhile (critical?!) investment. And use it! Take frequent photos of your progress from different angles, etc. I also found I need to bring in extra lighting for my photos (and it ends up sticking around because my eyes are old and weary). Can't have too much illumination. Retinas are lovely little cameras. The pride you'll have after repairing that little gem will keep you slipping it into your pocket whenever you go out. That's what its all about  No? |
