How to not be seen!

using plastic screens late on and they weren't very good, plus
the focus knob on the side was very coarse. Minolta Autocords
were much better. Bronicas are quite good.
If ever you want to be NOTICED! doing Street Photography
just use a 6x9 folder at eye level...... every single person
looks at you wondering what the hell is he doing

I almost changed over to them for that reason
I think there are extra pins etc. for metering, so I'm not
sure what bodies they work on.
A Tomioka 55mm f/1.4 M42 is better and takes some
beating also has fantastic bokeh. I doubt if the
Fujinon will be much good in that area ......
Edit:
Not much good look here

Beware of sticky iris's on the Tomioka's.... they can
be cleaned though.

bouncing around of warm walls, curtains etc.
Indoors with the Eye-Fi card and a laptop I can just take a shot of a grey card
and check the RGB values are right for CB and exposure before
taking any more shots.
Be careful with AWB under trees, it interprets the green light
as fluorescent

I turn off the camera fine tune so it is a fixed value and the colour is superb. One of the Pentax strengths is the fine colour reproduction.
Pentax AWB is very accurate.

place it's easy to take a shot at each aperture to see
what apertures to use to get accurate meter readings.

This may be of interest to some. I used a couple of 'M'
lenses exposed via the Green Button at every aperture f/2.8 to f/22
I then read the RGB values off the jpegs.
f/5.6 to f/11 either gave the correct exposure or it would be correct
with a small amount of compensation. Outside of that the photo was too
dark. Open aperture readings are way out and also heavily vignetted.

expect it's something on the Mac laptop that's changing it
