Yeah. I was checking a few different lenses out more than anything, the advantage of the adapter. If I have to wait to use them on a manual Olympus body, it might be some time before I get to see the results.

That's not bad. You are rekindling my desire to try this out! Johnny, does this lens have a separation issue? 273054088626

Is anyone else finding it hard to get lighter fluid? Poundland don't do it, CO OP don't, Tesco don't. Any ideas? I could probably buy it from Amazon but I would rather go in store.

Lighter fuel is no problem for me. A guy in the local market sells it. Try an old style newsagent/tobacconist type place.
A lens adapter for the vintage glass is worth it and only £10-15 depending on the brand. I'll have another play with mine later and the only problem I have is the weight of the bigger ones on a small light camera. Probably best suited to smaller primes.

Yes, most definitely separation. There are people who say they can fix it but I doubt it's cheap.
I can get smallish amounts of hexane from work, when/if that option goes then I don't know what next. Maybe I should invent a cleaning system using liquid CO2, you'd need a small pressure vessel but it's a great solvent and no residue. Wonder where people would get it from though... I suppose you can get cylinders of pure CO2 (i.e. not pub gas mix) for brewing.

BOC probably do it for welding. I'll steer clear of that one then. Just picked up a lot with an AGFA Super Silette as well as a Canon Dial 35-2 with a working meter.

I tried to post a link but it won't work. Have a look on YouTube and search for storyhive and look for a video on analogue photography.

I watched it earlier today. Nice to see a Minolta in there.
