Nice video

Sony should have cleaned up on MP3 players, but they were too
heavily crippled. Prior to that they had their own audio format
on Mini-Disc which was also crippled. I wouldn't trust them with
video although I've had one of their Mini-DV recorders for years.

The trouble with Samsung is that they drop their servicing quickly
on old models.... just like they did on the GX-20.

I've got 15 showing. The one missing is black. I'd be more
bothered if it was white

Try and find a review of your monitor, they often tell you
what settings they used and sometimes you can even download
the profile and install it.

I've not looked closely, but don't Samsung have a new camera
out?

Surprised you haven't had to do the Helios?

You need to remove the pin or put a piece of plastic over it
similar to this:

If the Rikenon is like some Yashica's it's not possible to
alter the pin and you need a K adapter with a flange on it
that will push the pin down.

I think someone on the MF Forum makes them

This is the thread: link

The one Gareth bought (last post July 2010) I bought
off him later

Well captured

There was a UK TV program on recently with Joanna Lumley
very clear night and the film of the lights was about the
best I've seen.

Glasses are a personal thing, but because I use cameras I use monofocal lenses. It may mean two pairs, but it's much easier to use the viewfinder.
Good thinking about the glasses, John. I shall try that. Any opinions about the magnifying viewfinder, please?
It's well worth it 20% bigger picture. I'm not sure if you will be able to see it wearing glasses though.

Its confusing what does and what does not work on Pentax.

Some say they work on all cameras with a standard hotshoe. Some say different https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/wireless-flash-triggering-23663
I was suggesting it as just a cable release. It can be just dangled from the jack plug socket on the camera. The Hotshoe is then free to be used by something else.
