Also worth noting that looking down a lens straight at the arc can damage your sight, possibly permanently. Never look straight at the point of the welding . EVF's are fine. I did plenty of welding when I built an offroad racer in the 1990s - all sorts of odd things happen. I remember a stubborn bolt that need some persuasion to leave its mooring, and when it dropped onto the floor it disappeared. I later found it melted into the base of my boots. Pulled it out, leaving a perfect imprint. Still there too. A trophy :-) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
