GOod thing it's only play money.

I was always assuming it was going to have a simple screw ring attachment so you could just buy any dual ended screw adapter to attach it to your lens' screw mount. <br /><br />I am a bit disappointed that it sounds like the adapter has a special, unique type of fitting to the flash. <br /><br />I know others may have suggested looking on Amazon or Ebay... but.... perhaps another workaround would be to see if you can find a screw adapter of a size that does fit one of the adapters you DO have, and then buy one with a coupler that changes the other side of the screw adapter to your lens size. I am not sure if I have written that particularly clearly, so here is an example of what I mean:<br /><br />If the lens you want to use is a 67mm and the flash has a 82mm screw end, it would seem you could use this to make your flash work for you:<br /><br />https://www.amazon.com/Breakthrough-Photography-Step-Up-Machined-Electroplated/dp/B01CZA5DMM/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1543343779&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=49+to+52+mm+step+up+ring&psc=1<br /><br />You have probably already thought of the above, so I apologize if my idea is redundant. <br /><br />I love playing Monopoly... but no one else in my family likes it, so it has been a few years since I have played. We play a fair amount of the board game.... Rummikub, however.<br /><br />PipeTobaccoPipeTobaccohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746884792061867611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-7849351477152507132018-11-27T10:20:04.602-05:002018-11-27T10:20:04.602-05:00I fully understand.

How awful to leave one little boy standing at the stop while the bus merrily goes on and no one else is there.<br /><br />Well never mind, the camping trip you missed might have been full of dangerous bears lurking around the tents. <br /><br />I often do poorly in monopoly or other games. Just the way it goes.<br />Too bad about your camera lens. That one really takes the cake! No wonder you needed a blog rant. <br /><br />Now, let's have some good luck starting Right Now!<br />Or, come to think about it, you can play "reverse" as I sometimes do with the grands (for snakes and ladders). We go down the ladders and up the snakes. Or play Candyland backwards. I think the Universe is telling you to be more creative!

I find it quite upsetting to read that nobody in your scout group bothered mentioning the new trip to you. I hope you changed to a different pack thereafter. Good luck with any future monopoly games.

It has to be a bit disappointing for a photographer like you. Your narrative was humorous, yet sad in a way. Best of luck in 2019, AC!!
