Hi Michael, thanks for taking a look (and everyone else too)
The beat up lens (Zeiss 50/1,4)was on a rummage table at my local photo
store, bent filter ring and a dented inner barrel ront end, for 15
euros, it rattled too - so I got it for 5. Screwed out the barrel,
removed all the sand grit and grease, straightened out the thin metal
ring I found in there and put it back together.
It doesn't look too good - but it works, and doesn't rattle any more.
Really grim place, Haworth.
If you remember that the father, Patrick, was a vicar, brother Branwell
a drunkard,compulsive gambler and laudanum (tincture of opium) addict,
and the mother ,it's no wonder that the three sisters were just a little
strange- for the period in which they lived they were writing really
risque stuff, hot fantasies in a cold moorland town, much of which was
actually based on their own work as governesses, private teachers, and
housekeepers. Even the true biographies of all 4 children are grim tales
and ended in disasters or consumption..

Fir a "beat-up lens" this seems pretty useful yet!
As for the grimstone stuff-- I liked the B&Ws, and NOW I see why they wrote such novels!
