Pentax P30
I just got some prints back yesterday. I am very pleased with the quality of this camera even for its age. I was using Kodak Gold ISO 100 film with this camera and it produced some good images. I do plan to buy a DSLR camera in the near future to replace this one because I don't have the money fo...

Pentax P30
Hi Jacob I'd suggest you're being quite optimistic to suggest that you'll merely have to buy memory and get prints for free with a DSLR. Good print paper is still expensive, as are inks, and it can be difficult to set up certain printers, resulting in lost paper and ink. The only benefit you ha...

Newbie seeks advice about a Pentax SF7
70 quid is too much for an SF7, even if it comes with the F 35-70mm (I'm assuming it's the Pentax F, there are many other 35-70mm lenses out there. The closest model I've tried is the SFXn, which despite being ugly and noisy, is a very capable camera. It should be possible to get a working one f...

Newbie seeks advice about a Pentax SF7
Welcome to the forum. The SF7 is very similar to the SFX and I assume power requirements will be similar. The SFX brochure claimed a 2CR5 battery would last for 150 rolls of 24 exposure film (flash not used) or 30 rolls if the built in flash is used 50% of the time. I'd expect you'd struggle to achi...

Z1/P SLR with Rechargeable batteries 2CR5 (Advantec)
I recently bought a rechargeable 2CR5 battery pack (Charger + battery) form www.pictop.co.uk. It does not work properly with the Pentax Z1/P (and not with a minolta compact either). The two problems are: *As soon as the built in flash is activated, the camera shuts down. (only removing the ba...

Please help!! ME super problem!
Hi Claire First things first, don't, whatever you do, touch the mirror or shutter mechanism any more than you already have. These should never really be touched, as damage is easily done, as I fear you might be finding out. Foam and rubber are used to damp the mirror when it swings up, if the...

Please help!! ME super problem!
The foam can disintegrate, and I imagine that a possible cause of your problem is a small bit of foam getting stuck in the shutter and jamming it. If you have a camera shop nearby, I should take it in and ask what they think. If you are lucky enough to find a competent person who knows these cam...

ME Super - What Polarising Filter?
Hi John Unfortunately Pentax etc. don't make the 'system 'filters, hence a few might be needed of each if you have an extensive lens collection, although I agree that they are top notch - I have a Hoya circualr polariser and this is also surprisingly good. If you can afford to get such filters a...

ZX-60 focusing problem
When I develop my photos I notice that all my pictures have focus problem. The picture is sharp in the middle but very blur on the edge. I use 2 different lenses but they all give me same results. So I don't think it's a problem with my lense. Does anyone have a solution? Is it because I'm usi...

ZX-60 focusing problem
Buy a book on photography. No lens can keep everything in focus, but you can improve things if you know the right techniques to use and have a camera that allows you to set the aperture of the lens. I've deleted the original last paragraph because I've just noticed which camera you have, and I b...

me-super lens locked
I recently bought an mes, and am experiencing shutter problems. Without batteries, the sutter seems to work fine. When I put batteries in and press the shutter button, the mirror gets stuck up, and the second curtain doesn't always drop. If I move the dial off of "auto," the cycle completes ...

P30 Wind-On Problem
Well although im not glad that you have the same problem as me, it seems good that we both have the same problem with the P30. Surely someone with some camera repair experience may be able to help us out with this problem. I have emailed local camera repair joints and no one there seems to be able t...

I went out to finish off this film yesterday and though there were 9 shots left, I only got to take one, as the winder just kept on winding without cocking the shutter. I removed the film and put in a jessops freeby, and just kept winding and pressing the shutter release on B but no winder problems ...

I still can't work out what the problem is though i have seen a post by Kim C on another question re :mesuper with a similar problem that it may be rubber dampers. Could it be the same problem with the p30? This is my third camera body, but i do find it quite u...
