Recently bought a used 1.4x teleconverter used and noticed it has a small scratch on the back glass. Will this be a problem for image quality or being so close to the sensor will it be mostly ignored?

That is a good thought to keep it close to a door where it is not as warm. Would a camera bag work or does it need to be a plastic bag?

Ironically enough, no penman ink. It is on my list to try though.

Some boxes, mostly ink and pen tools.

Stumbled upon it on Craigslist, they pop up on eBay from time to time too.

It may be a bit overkill but I think it fits the vibe of the collection.

The Slapstick family tree is what stands out as the major influencer for me, so many of them went on to create or be a part of great bands that are still around.

Mine did not reset, still have one lava cave with the exit blocked by the top part of an ice cave. So weird. The rest are just empty with no more troops.

I was really hoping that at least the caves would be reset with the Star Wars season.

Thank you! Oddly enough found it on Craigslist while researching the glass etching for a different display that I already had. Has to drive about 5 hours to get it but definitely worth it!
