The super macro guessing game (3)

[Dannybegood]

Congrats mate, all yours.

On a side note, i see you have the 70-200 4 non IS, hypothetical ques. If you take it to say a zoo/Safari park and take a picture of a lion etc, AF the nose, with kind of perfect conditions, at 150-200m, is the IQ at crop good? compared to a kit 75-300:cry: I do shake a little and am looking for a good IQ range zoom and that is 1 on the list.

[rawshorty]

Thanks Danny i will have one up shortly.
As for the 70-200 i love this lens being so light i don't miss "is" to much.
Here is a pick i took at the zoo when i got it focus on the eye's.

[samsen]

Focusing screw of a large format camera or macro bellow?

[Dannybegood]

Well in that case, could this be a lens? or anything to do with camera?
It is camera related, but this thing is not exclusive to a camera. It is NOT specific to the camera itself either.

Like a lighter spinner thingy?
Not that

Focusing screw of a large format camera or macro bellow?

Not that

[rawshorty]

some sort of adjusting nut?

[rawshorty]

And back to the 70-200 here is a pick i posted last year of an FA-18 hornet in flight. Scroll down to see uncropped pic.

[sil40sx]

Ugh! This looks very familiar, and Im sure I've seen it somewhere before,...
Any other clues?

[McMongo]

Is it a mold for makinging something like BBs

[bluelip]

No correct answers so far. I'll try to think of a tip as I leave the house today.

[bluelip]

As I returned, I can't think of any hints that wouldn't be a dead giveaway.

[Chet]

Some sort of nut cracker or press?

[bluelip]

Not food related.

This one is chromed, but most are plain steel.

It's considered to be a defensive object.

The dimples are probably the size of the ball in a ball point pen.

Edit: It is not a weapon, didn't want the 'defensive' statement to imply that.

[bluelip]

Feeling frisky. Revealing a little more.

[bluelip]

Key is the closest guess so far.

[alex.hondsmerk]

[bluelip]

Alex, go ahead and take it. you were the closest w/ the Key and Doorknob guesses.

Here's the original picture.
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/JM5qnFJlkUcCY81hR02HOtMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=d irectlink

It's a deadbolt.

I wonder what the dimpled pattern is for ?

[alex.hondsmerk]

Could I pass on this one? I'm literally about to leave on a road trip and I'm pretty busy. Anyone fancy it?

[Chet]

We'll wait.

[McMongo]

End of a deadbolt. LOL good one

[hqqns]

I wonder what the dimpled pattern is for ?

Squashing garlic.

[alex.hondsmerk]

Crushing garlic with a deadbolt? :D
Well, here goes. Hint: you will probably need to use the little bit of logo I left showing...

[Dannybegood]

Gun or a Knife?

[alex.hondsmerk]

Nope and nope. Not camera related either.

[Dannybegood]

Get the camera bit in early, i like it.

Outdoor pursuit related, compass etc?

[alex.hondsmerk]

Outdoor pursuit is getting closer. Have a bash at the logo (it's not Subaru)

[Dannybegood]

Have a bash at the logo (it's not Subaru)

[alex.hondsmerk]

Hint - pertains to things on a very small scale ;)

[Dannybegood]

Microscope related? Atoms and the such?

[alex.hondsmerk]

Not microscope related. When I said 'pertains to things on a very small scale' I was referring to the brand - sorry! :D

[Dannybegood]

When I said 'pertains to things on a very small scale' I was referring to the brand - sorry! :D

The brand aint Barclays, as the thing on a small scale is my Bank balance with this as a hobby

[Dannybegood]

We talking about miniture figures etc?

[alex.hondsmerk]

Nope. To recap;
- outdoor pursuits
- not gun or knife
- brand name is related to things on a very small scale

[alex.hondsmerk]

OK, I'm about to get on a ferry so here's the result. It's the adjustment plate on a ski binding...
Dannybegood got the closest, so over to you.

[Dannybegood]

Thanks will have to pass for a bit as i have nothing, open if anybody wants to chip in.

[Dannybegood]

Put an easy one in to keep it going.
