Hmm how about this - this expert seller confuses infra-red with x-rays!

How scary is that?

No need for expensive x-ray machines anymore. Only a DSLR, a lens and this filter. Laughing

I wonder if that is the same kind of glass that was used in the xray glasses I used to see advertised in comic books?

I take it tosh is a nice word for trash or BS? Very Happy

Yes

Tosh is a very polite UK expression for a load of nonsense that no sane person could believe..

Here in the USA I believe it would be a mixture of any scheme sold by Kevin Trudeau (Google the plonker if you have not heard of him) and the quarterly fiscal outlook from the Fed. Smile

I like how eBay sellers attach random lens names to filter listings. Otherwise I'd never know what lenses they'd fit!

Quite so!

Ir's also fun that this is for 'digital' which is a) nonsense unless x-rays (sic) vary in kind before they hit the sensor / film and b) because the majority of lenses listed are strictly film dervived like the canon FDs.. lol

One wonders how eBay awards its 'excellence' ratings, if this idiot is an example of a winner?

maybe Arse 'n All and Rocky should get one too?

Doug

PS esteemed forum owner and Obi-Wan (you know who you are! lol) I noticed that the adaptall site has a link to Arse 'n All! If 'we' have any influence can we get that removed?

I can imagine what Arse 'n All and Rocky will write:
Rare, see through x-ray filter. The price tag would be Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

Sorry to drift off topic, but I haven't seen Rocky on Ebay for some time. Has he changed his ID again?

I sent the seller of the item a polite note asking why it needed to be protected against x-rays and here's his reply:

Dear linuxbrit,

SO TELL ME, DOES IT EMIT IR RAYS, DUMB ASS

- cce09



I'd politely ask anyone who has a moment of spare time and an eBay account to complain about item misrepresentation and perhaps he, and his ilk, might finally attract some eBay attention (can you hear me Rocky, Arse n All and company??)
