Well it's big hammer time. I spent a while (~2hrs) of my own time doing photos this morning- before the recent ugliness was read, if that makes a difference.
BTW, harlton, don't get close to the object to make details when your camera won't focus. Stand off a bit and then use the camera's cropping or trimming feature to zoom in. With 10 megapixels there's buckets of detail in those further away shots.
[ETA: Like this:
And after "trimming" in the camera:
Not a great shot, but it was handheld and not carefully set up.
End ETA]
I'm going to dump a bunch of photos on you in a bit.
But if this is a fishing expedition to get L42 barrel dimensions (and mind you, this wouldn't be the first time), well, you are only getting one.
