500mm reflex lens?
Hi Frenk, The teleconvertor is a good idea, they work by increasing the focal length at expense of giving an effective smaller aperture. A 1.4x will lose you one stop and a 2x 2stops. Avoid the cheaper ones, they are not very good. However, I would not use a convertor with the 80-200 zoom. It is li...

Filter help please!
Hi all, still quite new to all this, hence my question: I'll just got a couple of filters for my ME Super- including a Dual Color R/B (Red/Blue) and an 85c. Both Screw in. er, what is it they actually do, and how do I have to "adjust" my settings to use them? Cheers in advance guys.

Filter help please!
An 85C will be a colour correction filter - no auto white balance on film cameras so you adjust the colour temperature by use of filters. The red/blue is an effect filter, to give red filtration to one half of the picture and blue to the other half. For colour film it will give colour casts, for...

SP 1000, need some information
Hi, Just to amplify on Georges comments, there is a great deal of rubbish talked about batteries (probably spread by people who sell expensive, overpriced adapters!!). The older rangefinders use a simple circuit and adjust the settings by restricting to light into the cell by a variable slit or fil...

Pentax LX...anyone tried BEATTIE replacement screens?
The LX should be OK with its OTF metering, but presumably cameras like the MX where we are measuring the brightness of the ground glass screen would need to have this taken into account. If you had a three stop increase in brightness this would presumably mean a 3 stop adjustment to the reading. ...

Polarizing Filter for SP1000
Elsa, The SP 1000 does not support auto-focus lenses - which require circular polarizers, so you can use linear. Actually, you can use either - you'll still have to align either filter to get maximum polarization. This works best with the sun at 90 dergees to your subject. Over time, I've...

Just curious
yah, but gorge, this is were we git's our bestest bargins - if'n we has enuff gutts to tak a chance. I agree 100% with not risking money on a mechanics or glass, but accessories like tubes, cables and tripods are often beyond their ken and worth a little gamble. It's always fun to look at the...

My god! Things have really changed...
15 years ago I closed up a camera and photo finishing store due to lack of sales, thanks to K-mart. I then moved from an island community on the US western coast to Sacramento California. It was a terrble transition for me. The beautiful coastal area made selling my photographs a snap. But when I m...

Extension Rings
This particular macro lens is a low cost one, and it seems to be the same as the Cosina. However, despite the low cost and rather rudimentary barrel contruction it is actually a good performer. There are better Pentax macro lenses. The SMC Pentax-M 100mm f4 is superb and quite often found on eBay...

Return to film
Since getting my DS just before Christmas I hadn't used my film SLR's at all. A week or so back though I loaded up my Z1p with a roll of Delta 400 that had come free (plus cheap processing) with a copy of Amateur Photographer magazine. I bunged my on my trusty 20-35mm F2.8 plus Cokin red and ND g...

Which older Pentax film camera?
Although I mainly use my DS, I do enjoy shooting a roll or on my MX With a good prime lens and fine grained film I can still get better detail resolution on very large prints; I often shoot film on my Ricoh GR1 with excellent results too. (I expect the K10D to narrow the gap) I also have the ...

Schneider D-Xenon 18-55mm Samsung Kit Lens
Yep, Matt has shown me some major vignetting in tests he's done on film. Something I'll have to live with. Maybe my wide angle prints will wind up cropped square and I'll tell folks they're from my old TLR! Ya can take the old M and K lenses forward, but ya can't take the DA's back. Sho...

Thank you for the manual link, as I did not have one. I was given a couple of boxes of film Fujicolor 800 36x20. Only problem the film is out of date reads nov 2006. I will try one as nothing to lose. The 1.8/55 lens was on the camera so I suppose this was the one used quite a lot but they all loo...
