The last three are from the first room one enters which can get very crowded as it also includes exhibits for Elvis, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley plus others. Had to be patient for most photos plus quick to manual focus
Nice ticket prices:
The drums were purchased by Ringo in 1963 and used in the '63-64 European tour. The "drop T" logo was designed by the shop owner. To the right, the guitar used by Elvis in 1954-1955 followed by George, ca 1958.
Rickenbacker gifted the one of a kind guitar to John shortly after the first Ed Sullivan show appearance. It was used in the 1964 US tour and recording sessions of "A Hard Day's Night" and "Beatles for Sale".

Hi, everyone:
A few more from the "Pay it Loud" exhibit.

I found a 16 recently on the B&S, bit of damage to the built in hood, the buyer said it had oil on the aperture blades but it seems fine, has the built in filters and is way better than my 16/2.8 which has scratches on the front element and desalination of the rear glass.
And it was $90 !
You're right though, a nice example isn't cheap or easy to find, probably cos Curtis has 3 iirc !

The two last ones is from outside my dads cottage. Beautiful wild garden, lot´s of biting ants though.....Shot with the 55/3.5 ai and the D800. Bee by Magnus Kristiansson, on Flickr
DANG, that's a steal! And I think it's John with 3, not Curtis.

I remember reading about the Beatles Ashram a while back when it was opened to the public. Just looked up some photos of the area and looks to be an interesting place to visit.
Take care,

Common wisdom from Sony IBIS discussions, if you want VR and don’t want to constantly change focal length, set the minimum / shortest focal length. It might not stabilize fully at the longest lengths, but it’s better than nothing. Otherwise if you set a longer length it could “over” stabilize. On the Z’s though I’d probably program 3-4 different lengths and program Fn2 to select a lens making it easy to change on the fly.

Quick tech question for you guys......I have a couple old manual focus zooms from 30-40 years ago, like Vivitars and Soligors and such, and was thinking of mounting them on my Z6 and see how bad they are now that focus is on sensor. In the CPU listing in the menus, what you set the lenses at for best results. Say its something like a 24-105 f 3.5-5.6 (example only) do you enter the data on the short open end, or long end for best results.
Longshot... but does anyone here have any experience re-cementing elements or know someone who does? Have a Nikkor GN 45mm, the rear doublet’s cement liquified. Cleaned it up and found some synthetic resin that looked like it would work, but I’m worried about not getting it centered... Might be worth having it done right. Thanks regardless.
I'm still very much on the "getting to know you better" phase with the 135. Still not a day's sunshine since the 5th when I received this lens. This morning out and about in the garden with a tripod, Live View and Q mode. Even better results, which gave me the confidence to shoot wide open a bit but in terms of shooting experience, Live View is a bore. Having to remember aperture values due to lack of full Exif is another challenge I caught myself laughing at.

By the way, can someone please explain what Auto means in reference to this and other manual lenses designated as such?
