Well I just got a Nikon ES-1 slide copy attachment.Easy peasey to use. My Nikkor 55mmMicro f/2.8 on a PK-13 onto my D7100, insert slide, focus, click, and voila!!!! Much faster than my Epson V600! here's examples of my first tries.
not too shabby. Next I'll try to copy them to color film.

Don, either give the Tokina to your wife, or buy her a few dozen roses!!

i told her she could have it but she really does not like using it. Also she hates changing lenses so if she did use it I would have to change it out for her every time she wanted to use it.

Just took delivery of my new toy. ( sorry - essential tool)
I got a SkyWatcher Adventurer camera mount that enables you to take long exposures of the night sky to capture deep space objects like galaxies and nebula. It tracks and compensates for the earths rotation so avoiding the elongation effect you get when on a fixed mount. It only weights 1KG and fits on a standard tripod and it can carry up to 5KG (11 US Pound) in weight which is more than enough for a DSLR and telephoto lens.
Now just need to get a clear night so I can give it a proper go.

I found it while browsing through some astrophotography sites.
Here is a really great review that persuaded me to get one.

This is it with my camera on.
In fact you can mount two cameras or a camera and a small telescope so its pretty flexible.
It effectively gives you an equatorial mount which is portable.

Thanks for all the info Dave!
End of year presents (I helped a little):
A Walkstool: my cheapo is deteriorating rapidely, now replaced it with something 20 times more expensive. Liking it a lot.
Lowepro 200AW Lens Exchange Pouch: good to move the 70-200 and handy for changing lenses.
also treated myself on the next adapter for the A7s:

lol. Now I just need to hope I get my bonus in March. �� I couldn't help myself.
Also check out the free merlin bird id app
That app is great, even has calls and I use to play with my humming birds. One of the best apps I have.
