New as a Keltruck demonstrator
Keltruck's original demonstrator for the heavy-duty Scania XT series, sold in a charity auction with Anstee being the highest bidder and raising over £14,000 for a children's hospice in Wales.
Best ever crank arm bolts. No need for separate dust covers. From the late 1990s when square tapered bottom bracket axles were still the norm, these M8 bolts accept a 6mm Allen wrench (hex-key) and will fit any standard square tapered axle.
Apart from the lighter weight, the thin (1mm.) press fit aluminum surrounds look beautiful on most alloy cranks, much nicer than the familiar black plastic rings usually fitted onto similar style steel crank bolts. The base of the bolt measures just over 15mm. in diameter. For a flush fit on the face of some crank arms, the steel washer can be omitted. The aluminum bezel is 22mm. in diameter. But these will still fit nicely on the larger 23.35mm opening of older Stronglight crank arms with very little of the opening left noticeably exposed.
Weight of a pair is 14.35 grams or with the standard black steel flat washers supplied weight is 19.05 grams. A great find on eBay for only $10 USD per complete pair with shipping. Original MSRP was $60.

After receiving some new stuff this week, it was time to build up my own light-box to photograph some smaller object.
I've build up the box according the instructions found here.
I've also invested in different background papers: silver (this one), gold, white, blue.
Then it was time to take some pictures with my new flashes (a Metz one and a cheap manual one) and try out my new Gitzo tripod (Traveller GT2358)
This shot is my favorite, the Metz flash was placed on the right as slave a meter away from the box, on the left was the manual one as slave on 1/8 of his power to give some fill-in and highlights on the teeth.
