Super-A seems to have stopped working
There was me thinking it was worthless, then I found this . I guess I could also sell the PC socket cover, battery cover and perhaps the back too (strap lugs anybody?)...

Super-A seems to have stopped working
If you do decide to break the camera down, it might be interesting to some that the back also fits the ME super and possibly some others i.e. MG/MV. I have one fitted at the moment, the thumb grip helps with longer lenses. I might be interested in the focusing screen depending on price. Regard...

Super-A seems to have stopped working
Thanks Steve, I didn't know the back would fit an ME Super (I thought the databacks were different). I don't plan on breaking it up, I want to see whether it's repairable first. EDIT: It lives... Having another look at it, and fiddling with the battery cover some more, it now works. No idea ex...

Super-A seems to have stopped working
Glad to hear that the camera is back up and running. It might have been some oxidation on the threads that were preventing good contact between the cover and the body. I have two Super A's and use them on a semi regular basis. I replaced the seals on both last year and acquired a few spare parts ...

Help with Fill Light
I go somewhere in between, but I might selectively fill in the dark areas such as the dials and heavy shadows... if you feel the detail there is really necessary. But in general agree, the second one starts looking flat. Adding fill in areas lit by high contrast lighting is normal. I add fill to...

Lens problem....
+ 1 for a second body. This has two benefits - no lens changes necessary with the attendant delays/lost shots and offers back up in case of problems, which is important if you are commissioned to take these event shots.

Bulb Mode K-m
Thanks david, its driving me nuts have read so many posts about it. I have set the camera to bulb but the cheapo ebay remote just does a quick shutter even if you hold the button down. I have checked all the memus to see if this can be changed, but nothing. Think I just need another remote. I real...

Bulb Mode K-m
Not an option in the K-m ! Problem is solved, my beautiful girl friend has brought me a shiny new K-5 this morning from Carmarthen Cameras :D She thought I was being cheeky when I said we could have £40 each from the cash back offer. And to think I let her have my K-m too.

Bulb Mode K-m
I must be getting this mixed up with the K-x - I'll check it again on the K-m when I get it back (it's out on loan at present), but as you've got a shiny new K-5 (nice) I suppose it's all academic! Cheers David

Bulb Mode K-m
I've now got my K-m back from a short period loaned to a friend and have checked the 'bulb mode with remote' capability. It only works with certain remotes and requires that the remote button is kept pressed down, as opposed to the K-x which allows the shutter to remain open until the remote shutte...

Catch in focus, again
Hey, I just got myself a set of manual tubes and put a lens on it. It works fine, but the Catch In focus refuses to work. I have enabled the CIF, set the body to AF-S enabled the aperture ring and AF-S and AF-C are set to focus priority, hence it should focus first then shoot. But never the less the...

Catch in focus, again
What lens are you using Alex? What make are the the tubes? Do they have a shiny metal base where they meet the camera or a black painted one? Could be a couple of things, but is usually fixable!

Catch in focus, again
hey, I'm using a manual zoom lens, currently looking for a prime, and the tubes are cheap ones off eBay without any contacts or anything, and they are black ones the ones where the midsections can be screwed out, not the ones where there are 3 separate extension tubes. The camera meters fine though....

Catch in focus, again
Is the camera body set to AF? Needs to be AF, not MF for CIF to work. That's the only thing that looks obvious, everything else looks fine.

Catch in focus, again
hey, I just tried the lens without the tubes, and all works perfectly. But as I put the tubes, the CIF disappears and I got a suspicion that the camera doesn't simply know that it has a lens. Any ideas? Or should of gotten proper tubes? :D The CIF would be really appreciated as taking a shot of anyt...

Catch in focus, again
Hi Aleks You aren't getting a contact between the tube and the camera body. It might seem that you are as the stop down metering appears to be working, but it won't be working accurately. I'm assuming that the back of the tube is anodized black paint? That or you have a poor contact. You need ...

Catch in focus, again
hey, cheers for the help, got it working, makes life much easier now :). I have one follow up question, when I turn on the camera, it asks for a focal length. As I'm using macro tubes, what should I enter, the focal length of the lens or the total length with tubes, or it doesn't matter what I tell ...
