Fujifilm Flash Ef-20 and LHF-X20

Managed to get one brand new and unused EF-20 flash for the X30.  Seller also taught me how to set the flash.  Small and good enough for travel.
The day before, I managed to get the LHF-X20 hoof and filter set from another seller in brand new and unused condition as well.  Now it completes the X30 look with a silver hood and a 40mm protector filter.
Have been shooting the X30 at home to test out the flash and it works enough as a fill in flash, better than the on board flash.
I am glad I managed to get these 2 good deals.

Pentax F85mm F2.8 Soft Lens

Collected the lens on Tuesday morning from the brother of the seller.  It is a smallish lens with 49mm diameter and a metal hood that overs almost the whole lens when inverted.


Tried it out on landscapes and cityscapes so far and it looks very dreamy.

I love this lens.  Will have to try out on models if I get the chance to again.

OLD BOOKS TO RELEARN PHOTOGRAPHY

Found some old instructional manuals/references so planning to read them and relearn some old stuff.
