Yes, thanks to you directors down under in Oz I got the hint I needed: Zoom, Zoom. Great pun, yes?
That's where it's at.
And as for that kid of mine who do you think tought him to use a Nikon. And who's Nikon do you think he learned on and never gave it back?
Saw it once or twice more when he came by for another lens and a motor drive.
I had to go out and get a new one. More expensive of course. Good thing Nikon accesorys fit most models. Kinda like having a small block chevy.

Anyway, I guess I got to go try it now. Sure is a lot cheaper to learn then with film. Faster to see your mistakes too. Nobody bothers with multiple lighting though? Except Polak that is. I'll keep you posted on my learning curve.

Andrew,

There is a box full of them on their way, but they have been "spoken for", pending payment.

But I can get more, don't worry!

Cheers,
Hymee.

The slaves are working. Probably the camera sees the other light quick enough and shuts down the shutter.
Anyway there are new pics on your e mail. I took them outside and used the fill in flash mode. I zoomed out so I was about 18" from the part. I think they are usable.
Just going to take some getting use to this digital world. I was hoping it wouldn't come up on me this quick. Thought I might get out before they made me relearn everything around me.

Hymee Enhanced just ordered another 10 shifters. Good on ya Hymester.
Gomez could open a little night shop installing them.

I'm getting a press release ready for Rxtuner mag. Looking at other mags as well.
Just had to get the photo thing handled.

Hymee,
Can I get added to the list for the next delivery of RP short shitfers.
I am finding 2nd to 3rd shifting problematic too - Its very annoying when your in a hurry.
PM me the order payment details.
Cheers

What are people doing with their old stock shifters? Is there an Ebay market out there for people who have bent/broken theirs and dont know about these beauties?

In the garage, taking up space alongside the stock exhaust -- stirring up Mrs 'bo every time she sees this stuff :D

Hymee, you need to introduce a 'product stewardship' program

Be warned to all those who don't frequent this place often enough !!!!

Sorry mate. I had your address from last time, but I wanted to make sure I was not sending your article to the wrong place, in-case you had moved on.

Cheers,
Hymee.
