Here is a photo of Karlsplatz S-Bahnhoff in Munich Hauptbahnhoff. them's great Peter, all we get in our end of the world is boring box-like stations. Possibly something to do with the budget spent... some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

akiwi Cream of the Crop More info | Feb 15, 2010 01:27 | #2739 News:
2. Looking in from the top.
3. Firstly push from the inside, then pry the side off. This is only held by double sided sticky tape.
4. Looking in from the side. Undo the screw, and remove the metal bit. With this removed you can turn the focus ring further than normal and remove the outer housing.
5. Nifty Fully naked!
6. And this is what was causing the problems. This plastic bit was broken off and jamming the mechanism. It is the part that moves the inner focusing mechanism in or out when the focus ring is turned. I spent ages trying to find a way to re-attach this, but it didn't seem to fit exactly, so I couldn't glue it. As there are 2 of these, one on each side, and the other one is still attached, I have taken this one out.
7. Here is another view with the motor and gear mechanism.

9. And the first test shots to see if it worked.
Conclusion. She works fine, however is probably now a little more fragile than she was, so care needs to be taken with the end lens tube. I certainly won't be putting my camera down on its front. I have sent a PM and E-mail to BouncingRing that nifty is ready to move on. Peter
