Well done and 12 mins for the police!!! Here in the UK it took almost 5 days for them to turn up look at my CCTV and decide as i didn't have the name and address of the person attempting to steal my car they couldn't do a great deal (i kid you not).
I've got a Baxall 580 mono 1/2", i'm currently using a 1/3" Computar lens on it. It appears to function perfectly, what if any are the downsides of using a 1/3" lens on a camera that should use a 1/2"?
Thanks.
