Well, to be honest, i have been so embroiled in creating it, I have clean got out of the way of using the camera, apart from recording the project of course!

I have made a new front end for the 20mm f2.8 AF-D lens which Michael dropped with the D3 on it. it wrecked the front part of the lens. I have made a new front end and incorporated a built in lens shade into it. I am having some fun with the front lens cap at the moment, getting the lettering cut.

This is the damage to the 20mm.



Turning it up on the lathe.



Fine tuning the petals.



Mirror finish on the cap, 16mm fisheye behind.



Horror! My reflection in the lens cap. I wasn't as mad as I look, I think it's the fresnel fisheye effect...



:lol::lol::lol:
