ZED - no particular reason for this post.
I agree with most of Darkmunks comments, I purchased mine purely for landscapes, and my portrait and nude work to which it excels on all 3, the detail is stunning, I don't go over 3200 ISO and haven't found the noise to be much of a problem, perhaps I need to look much much closer :-) I've just h...

35mm lens hood
You can push them right back for wide angle and I might try cutting it to the same shape as my card petal hood. Cheap enough to experiment ;)

Blasted CLOUDS !
I was hoping to do some star shots last night on my way back from Norfolk. Scattered clouds during the day had made it lovely, towards sundown the skies cleared so I got set up then before it got dark the clouds had covered nearly all the sky :(

Repair manual for Pentax - A 645 Lens
Take it or send it back? I've investigated having fungus infected lenses cleaned professionally but was told there is no guarantee that the fungus won't come back. One thing puzzles me, to my knowledge the only Pentax 645 macro lenses are: HD PENTAX-D FA 645 Macro 90 mm F2.8 ED AW SR (current) s...

645n and AF-500ftz flash
set it to X and it stayed at 35mm, since my 75mm FA is a single focal length I can manually zoom it !! my zoom lens is manual focus and won;t be using a flash with it and I did have the flash in the A zoom mode !!

Pentax, Fuji and...
Very interesting, but no definitive conclusion. Pentax users will find the 645Z works exactly like any other Pentax DSLR, Fuji users will find the same but relating to the Fuji mirrorless range. Both cameras produce stunning results, handle fairly similarly but not identically and cost within th...

Why so expensive!
Sadly, I think the price/fixability argument doesn't stack up with Pentax MF gear any more. The cameras are far too expensive for 30-40+ year old gear, especially given repair options are very limited worldwide and almost non-existent in UK/Europe. The US forum regularly gets posts regarding faults ...

Why so expensive!
I owned a Pentax 67 with a 55, 105 and 150 (and the wooden handle) back in the 1980's and although it was impractical for hiking and long walks the quality was absolutely superb. I still have a few slides taken with it that I look at every couple of years, each time I am amazed at how good they a...

Why so expensive!
All film cameras seem to be silly prices for the most part... but you can get lucky with some bargains. MF SLRs are quite rare, so the prices are crazy for most of them, i got a Bronica ETRS a few years back for a good price, but now evenn those are eye-watering. My normal MF is a Zeiss Ikon Net...

Why so expensive!
Reserecting an old thread, I've been shooting my Bronica ETRSI but it's developed a fault and I can't work out if it's the camera body or lens so I've put the complete outfit on eBay and had an offer that's pretty good shall we say! Now the hunt for a good medium format camera is back on. There w...

Kodak Gold 200 in 120 format coming soon
Announced over their social media, Kodak are bringing back Gold 200 in 120 format. Looks like it'll be the cheapest colour film in 120, at least of Kodak's offerings. Analogue Wonderland I think have it for pre-order at 45 quid a box of 5. https://www.dpreview.com/news/3000625093/kodak-is-bring...

645D lens quality vs Limited & best vintage SMC-A
Agree with John about the 80-160mm, never owned it but was talked out of it by several togs back when I bought my 645. I don't use my 645-35mm for landscape shots but it does work very well for up close/tight spaces i.e. static motorcycle & aircraft displays. I do have the 645 to K adapter and a...

E7 code displayed
Sorry to tell you that's an error code that signifies the camera needs service attention. If you send it back to Pentax UK they can give you an estimate for repair. As a club member you then get 20% discount off the cost.

ESPIO 738G - Error Code "H1"
Hi, I have a pentax ESPIO 738G that I purchased in Jan 2000. A few days back I started getting a message "H1" on the display indicator and the camera stopped functioning correctly. Symptoms: the Zoom lens comes out on pressing the Red button. On trying to adjust the focus, the message "H1" flas...

Asahi Pentax S3 - Focusing grid?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone new anything about the focusing grid in an S3. It is one simple dot in the center of the view finder but doesn't seem to serve any purpose in helping focus. I was hoping someone may have some experience with this and if so, could you please give me some advise on h...
