It takes a fair amount of time to sort out a new camera, please do not use the point and shoot mode , use aperture priority IE. Set the aperture and let the camera set th time that way you are in charge of the depth of field small aperture ( bigger number ) more of your photo in focus front to back , you need a steady hand so only one bottle of wine
And I bet they look even better on your new monitor

Can we afford the number of castings it would take to get (bribe) a Ms. December?
Wow - I'd love to have that merlin as my next project!

Yes that is a direct replacement, fitted to the 220mm scale my cross slide now has over 1m of movement Jo
not that I could get the bearing in focus Jo
As I expected the threat of a picture of me fondling castings was too much for you guys
And there are the two key words: Mr. and "he". See if Mr. Silky had been Ms. Slinky and referred to as "she" then I will bet that complaints would abound E
BobTrue in the "old days." Now, we have focus stacking (focal plane merging.)Infinite DOF, even in macro shots of stationary objects. Also called z-plane merging. The concept is to make multiple exposures with the focus on a different plane for each shot. Toss the bunch into Photoshop and out comes one image in focus, front to back. I'll try to locate some my early Adobe test images. IIRC, the Praktica and Praktiflex were made in East Germany and were quite nice examples of early SLR technology.
