Jim and list,
It's a pity that the attachment is not available, as Judy reported.
It would have made a difference, no doubt. I'd never heard of such a
device, otherwise I would definitely got myself one...
By the way, I repeat the offer: should anyone still be interested in
a Selectric lens, I have one I'd happily donate.
I'm in Italy, so it would have to travel a bit to reach anyone on
this list, but I'd love to giv it to anyone that needs it.
Ciao,
Ollie
