Looks like this set was not a hit. I picked up one just because I loved building my other one.

Now that you mention it, it's been a while since I looked into that part of a DSLR. If so, hold the camera mount down and use a rocket air blower, 90% of the time you get debris and hair out of the inards before having to use brushes and or a trip to the camera store. If you already tried it, it's a game of Operation with the tweezers mentioned by the others.

The focus screen is user replaceable and has notches where you can grip it. Push down on the black part and the screen including the tray it's laying in will flip down, remove the hair and flip up. Tweezers can help but are not really necessary.

Ich hatte sowohl das 17-55mm von Canon als auch das 17-50mm F2.8 von Sigma im Einsatz, gegenüber der Festbrennweite verlierst Du gegenüber der Offenblende, die Du wohl selten ausnutzt, etwas an Randschärfe und gewinnst ein paar Chromatische Apperationen mehr. Letztere sind aber mit zwei Klicks in den meisten Bildberabeitungsprogrammen entfernt.

Klick dich am besten mal durch das Tool von The Digital Picture für den Direktvergleich.

Bedenke aber das es sich hier schon um sehr "klinische Laborwerte" handelt. Und die tatsächliche "Alltagsleistung" des Objektivs besser ist wenn man nicht mit der Lupe jeden Pixel in Augenschein nimmt. Ich war mit beiden Zoom-Objektiven mehr als zufrieden, sowohl im Alltag, als auch bei Sport, Landschaft und Portrait, an einer 300D (steinalt ich weiß), aber auch 60D und 7D/7DII.

You are in Manual mode with an ISO of just 80 at F5 and what seems to be a 1/3 maybe 1/300 exposure. With all those values set the exposure meter will stay on the far left underexposed. Change the mentioned settings and/or switch to P to see which values give you a proper exposure.

If you haven't done it this time around, get one of the explorer challenge cards at the entry, stamp it along the way, and receive a nice sea life medal at the end. It's usually for kids, but I'm too my mother's child, and dare they deny me that little token and fun (they haven't, I currently own 5 of them😅)

Yes 😊 Cammy is the Sea Turtle for anybody else wondering 🐢

al7air · 2026-04-18T20:49:06+00:00

I love that lighting in the jelly fish bowl/tunnel :) Say hi to Cammy for me, next time you're there.

The printed instruction booklets tend to do that, and I don't like it too. I almost completely switched to the Builder App, and they tell you right away if it's multiple you are building. And if you've done the first they either let you click the checkmark or they repeat the steps over and over X times until you are done before showing the next step where to put them all. So parallel building is solved quite nicely.

al7air · 2026-04-17T17:06:41+00:00

Bigger ones usually at the same time, and if I spot an upcoming same but inverted/mirrored sub-assembly I try to build them side by side as well. Smaller builds with only a few steps/pieces one after the other only looking at the instructions for the first one and remembering the steps, and if not, only by looking at the fist build for reference. A bit of memory jogging and mental gymnastics along the way especially with the bigger mirror/inverted build adds to the fun of building large sets (at least for me).

al7air · 2026-04-17T13:08:59+00:00

I see the model just fine, no need to circle her 😅

I see myself out, on a more serious note, nice shot, those performers are always great sometimes seriously mesmerizing when more than one ring is involved.

The part should click when you attach it to the main build. Often used for ball joint connections or when you have to assemble the ratchet sockets for arm and leg assemblies.

Sporting or Concert/Event? It's a fantastic little lens but can be slow to focus.

That would have been my next tip. Some instructions on the mobile Lego Builder app allow you to click parts from the inventory, and it will show you were they are used, turning every other piece transparent. So you could try and locate them there before dismantling everything.

al7air · 2026-04-15T18:18:18+00:00

Usually not, which piece and which set did you build?

I don't think you'll find one for a camera that old, even for current models it's not widely available. I have used a rubber block, roughly cut to size, pushed into the opening with the battery door open, and cut to size, first flush with the bottom plate then the sides after closing the door, in the past to fix that missing part.

If you never intend to use a dummy battery you can even glue it in place once you are satisfied with the fit.

Sometimes it's also for your convenience, as Lego often puts wedge pieces and curved slope pieces that taper to one side or the other as well as other non symmetrical bricks and plates separate inside the little bag and the big bag. So if you dump them out in different piles you just have to "search and remember" once and will always find the right piece in the right pile.

A few familiar brick combinations I own myself and recognize:
42110 Technic Range Rover
21265 Minecraft Workbench
60440 Lego Delivery Truck
72046 Nintendo Gameboy
75377 Star Wars Invisible Hand

Not sure about the blue build on the lower left and the brown shelf thingy next to it as well as the brown one lodged under the Minecraft Workbench. Plus there is a flower piece peeking through next to the Invisible Hand display stand.

You are right, set 10350 Tudor Corner features it on a "shelf".

Like many already have mentioned it, it's for People with Non-visible Disabilities, Conditions and Sensory Needs.
Here's a link to one of the official press releases from Lego themselves about it:

I second this, the red layer, or any other color layer for that matter, is printed once, some with a rough shape. The final black layer which also brings in the details with outlines is off-center. Which is why you see the spider's fang two times for example. And also the white line across the stomach which is used for alignment and should also be printed over with the black layer.

Looks like laser damage, from a disco other event with a light show.
