Thanks for the offer - finding the 050KA's was proving to be right chore, but your pages kept on popping up on the searches for them so it was logical to post my request here. I do appreciate your offer. Thanks – I just saw the email from Blaise and sent you my address.

I can let you have my tidy 050MA and I will replace it with the longer 050 MKA from stock. Obviously I'll give you a discount as it is a used item. Just ring Blaise on 01275 853204 in office hours to arrange. Kind regards, Damien. Hi Ian,

The Arri 050KA which you recommend is not the one you sell. :( The Arri 050MKA that you sell is about 8cm too long and doesn't fit in my cases. Does anybody have an older Arri 050KA around they would like to sell, as I think they're discontinued now.. I’m looking to add an Arri 050KA to my existing stands.

I'm glad you are getting on well with the 50mm. I'm still up to do some twilight shots of Parcour at Create / Butterfly junction. It's a great location. Drop me an <a href="mailto:damien@lovegrovephotography.com" rel="nofollow">email</a>. Cheers. It’s great to hear from you James. I’m glad you are getting on well with the 50mm.

As a poor student I'm going to have a go at making what i can from the list! A while back you recommended that I buy a Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens. I must say, I don't think it has actually come off my camera since the day i bought it! This is a really useful, really like the plastic bag idea!

I also know several people that have burnt holes in backpacks and car seats by leaving it out in sunshine :(.

My first one became intermittent in operation. I super glued the red lenses on both of my ST-E2s to avoid loosing them. Good advice about the Better Beamer. It is a really powerful magnifying lens and if pointed at the sun will cause havoc. You could certainly light fires with it out in the bush. Damien. Hi Martin,

How long have you had yours? Mine came from Amazon. The red lens fell out and was lost so I sent the whole thing back and got a new one. I agree the STE-2 is not really up to day-in day-out use.

It means when shooting at night or in dark places instead of getting a red cross hatch projected for the lens to focus on you will get white light instead. Try ordering a new lens from your local camera repair shop. Cheers, Damien. Hi Pete,

I've just purchased the Honl Strap and Gel set.. strap fits well.. can't wait to try the gels! The STE2 is fab but as yuo mentioned in another post the build quality isn't great and I wish I had followed your advice in super gluing the red plastic bit on as its now gone forever... will this have a major effect on its performance? Time for the TTL's :) Good list. I’ve just purchased the Honl Strap and Gel set.. strap fits well.. can’t wait to try the gels!
