Your right of of course Matthew, then when the shipping was put on it came to £24.95, so I searched UK dealers and this was the best price, plus they had no shipping charges, so I ended up with a bargain.

$2.45 for a knock-off eye cup for my D70 last week, shipped from Hong Kong. I have no idea how they do that so cheap! :huh:

Sounds like meritline.com - a "trove" of low cost items (many with no shipping costs). Some are OK and some are pure junk. Sometimes the fun is in spending so little and seeing how it turns out.

Basic rule. Attach the tube first, then the lens so the electronics link up. Then get close and use manual focus. A tripod and/or remote release helps. You will have a blast.
