Nestled away in the bag that I got with the GS was this old lens. Obviously no good for projecting scope package movies as it's the wrong squeeze ratio. Also looks like the previous owner landed upon a... unique method to keep focus. He's basically used Milliput or something to'lock' the two halves of the lens together (perhaps the usual locking screw no longer worked) which is a shame as this lens is supposed to come apart completely. I might try to chip away the gunk and tidy it up a bit. I hear it's fun to use with DSLR cameras to get that lovely lens flare!
