slow

 The same story as yesterday, optimism at breakfast giving way to despondency later on in the morning. Double check on the order for the camera, it is a lot of money, after all. It seems to be all in order. Fiddle about in Ebay, and discover that there is so much in points and coupons there that there is no need to pay for an accessory, it is possible to just order it. That is very pleasant. To have a bill with zero on the bottom line for a change.

Spend the rest of the day trying to fix up a lens to take pictures of the birds at the lake. Buying a modern lens would simply cost too much money, so try to fit the modern camera to the old follow focus lens.

Spend the time working out how the contacts need to be made to hook up the release to the modern camera. Then open up the grip on the lens, and there is a switch, all ready built in, and wires leading to a small electrical socket for a jack plug.

Buy the wire on the internet, that will solves the problem.

There will be no new wiring or construction necessary.

It took all day to recognise this.
