What bemused you today?

I must have either lost it or it did not come in the box. I have the APS-C hood adapter and also the step down ring for adding a 85mm filter if rqd, plus the padded case, tripod mount ring andshoulder strap, but thats it.
Looks like hand in pocket time again

Have a look in the bottom of the box, as it can come lose and fall out if not fitted correctly.

Get a bunch of lens caps fron China via eBay - personally I prefer the centre pinch caps anyway and they're as cheap as chips 

I tend to go out on a commission and swap lenses around, taking lens caps off and putting them in odd pockets - at the end of the day I might not find all the ones I started with, so use the spares in my camera bag. When I get home and sort stuff out I repatriate all the re-found lens caps to the camera bag!

Have to admit that I rarely use lens caps, or dust caps as they are properly known, on account of the fact that when you put one on a lens and then take it off, even immediately, the front element (or in my case UV filter) is always covered in dust.

I only use them when the lens is in the bag, just in case there is anything rattling about in there whilst on the move like spare batteries etc.

Watching BBC news this a.m. there was a piece on the centennial of Scott's disastrous attempt to reach the South Pole. Included in the piece was a bloke with a double-barrelled name whose job description was given as 'Adventurer'.

Being somewhat taken by the possibilities that this sort of job might offer, I've just got back from the Job Centre where I went to see what was available in this line of employment. Strangely enough in these times of rising unemployment they couldn't help, apart from suggesting the position of  Electricity and Gas Meter Reader, which they assured me was becoming more adventurous by the day.

Which whilst on the subject of unemployment, the Rab C Nesbitt show last week had within it a classic.

Rab and his mate Jamie Cotter had been called to the Job Centre to explain their reasons for being amongst the long term employed.

They were interviewed by a black, blind Muslim lady in a wheelchair who pointed out that despite all her disadvantages she'd landed a job in the public sector. Rab quite rightly pointed out that it was easy for her to do so, since she 'ticked all the  boxes'.

Looking at recent posts I notice each one has the words 'Share This' at the bottom. When you click on this a row of symbols pop up, which I assume will transfer the post to some site or other for other people, i.e. non CC members, to read.

If this is the case, is there any way I can delete it from my posts, since any post I make is for CC members only, not for the world at large. I certainly don't want to get mixed up with Faecebook or Twitter or any other such site. 

P.S. Here it is again!

Alan, sorry, didn't want to upset you, that wasn't my intension to do so.  So for now I've turned the social buttons off until I can find a better solution. 

[ABERS]

Mick, please, no need to apoligise. If other members want it, please continue with it.

Alan, it's a bit of a balancing act tbh, I'm not going to risk losing faithful members like yourself, but on the other hand I need to try and drive traffic to the site, or it will die a long and painful death, lol..

Is there a CC group on Flickr that can be utilised to encourage more traffic ?

[ABERS]

For what it's worth I've just added a CC link on my website.

I suppose it's possible to add CC as part of your signature on any other web related activity you take part in?

[Beaux Reflets]

I have popped in CC links on both my blog (which is occasionly updated as and when I am of the mind to post something) and a few shots on Flickr

Don't worry about it - it's just old age!

Thanks Alan, that's much appreciated.  Every little helps as they say.

Thanks Andy.     I'll a have look into the Flickr groups thing too.   Not really used it before to be honest, but it does seem quite popular.
