I bought a cheapie Nikon AF 50mm f/1.8 to go on the F801S I bought a few months back which has been sitting unused as I had no lens for it. The Nikon is a little disappointing in build quality but even more so in that there are no half stops when using it in aperture priority mode. It's an unexpec...

I bought three lenses: A 24/2.8 M 120/2.8 M 35/2 All three have issues. The A 24 has balsam separation, the M 120 has fungus and the 35/2 has a stiff focus ring and something wrong with the aperture ring. I get the feeling people are taking the chance to clear their lofts and they're find...

My Kershaw Raven (see a couple of pages back) has just come back from having new bellows fitted, the lenses cleaned and the shutter serviced. I loaded a roll of Ilford Delta 400 and will use the roll up tomorrow so I can send it off to be developed on Monday. At only eight frames per roll, it shou...

A Panasonic TZ90, actually it's for the wife as her previous Panasonic P'n'S has died. The capabilities of this device mean that my DSLR journey is coming to an end, not quite yet but the writing is on the wall. The in-camera facilities are truly amazing - not that it was bought for these function...

I've been pondering and salivating over the HD - D FA* 70-200mm f/2.8 ED DC For several months now. Finally saved my pennies (and dollars) until I could get one, just came in last week. The weather has been so crappy that I haven't ventured out much, to try it out. My initial reaction on receiv...

The Ensinor 24mm f/2.8, kindly received in prompt and safe fashion from Danofmk. Looking forward to seeing how it compares to the Sigma Super-Wide ii 24mm f/2.8 that is currently in my arsenal... In other news, I might be making a few de-acquisitions before too long. I've firmly placed my eye on a...

Go on LennyBloke. You know you really want one! Here is the beaten up old Primotar I recently acquired. I have since dismantled it and cleaned the insides. It is now good as new to all practical purposes. I am delighted with it Here it is with the rest of the Meyer Optik brigade. The Lydi...

The pencil eraser trick works with the *ist series battery contacts too. They can look really shiny but they actually have a layer of insulating muck on them. I've brought two back to life that way.

Hi All As you might have seen recently, I've been on the lookout for full frame lenses that are good on a K-1. As I'm actively buying, restoring and selling used Pentax equipment (for my living, filling in time and earning a crust until myself and the missus can get to our house in Corfu), I am ...

I now have what some consider to be a 'hen's tooth'. An SMC Pentax reflex zoom 1:8~12, 400~600mm, AKA a mirror lens. Not many of these were made and certainly not to this quality and with a zoom facility! Since I love old glass this was quite irresistible. In terms of size, it's like a beefed up ...

Needed a new battery and a good clean up. Rear grip was cracked in half so glued back together. Didn't register the lens in A mode but a clean of the contacts and all was good. Lens optics are great also. Gonna chuck a roll of film through it and see how the light seals are.
