No you don't have to take into account the crop factor, just put in the actual focal length of the lens.

I'm not sure what you mean by total focal length and current focal length : are you referring too a zoom lens : and as John says it will only ask for focal lengths on lenses it does not recognise.

Are you talking about the Lens correction function or the input of focal length when you turn the camera on, these are 2 different functions all together.

If you are refering to the focal length, then it will ask for the focal length every time you turn the camera on, it doesn't store this information.

Pete, would you care to share your exchange with Mr Hobday, PM me if you like. I was seriously considering the 200mm A Macro he had on sale, but someone beat me too it.

You can have my 'titanium' coloured one for £1200.00 + postage. That's a saving of £239.00 off of the RRP. Bargain at that, go on, you know you want one.
When you say Titanium Pete, do you mean just an ordinary silver one or is there a special edition. :

I have a black one and would love to swap it for a silver one too match my 43mm and 77mm.

I have a lot of lenses I don't really need but prying them from my boney fingers is not always easy. I love my A 100/2.8 and don't think I could part with it, in fact I will more likely sell the FA 100 macro before I sell the A 100.
If I ever change my mind Sam, you will be the first to know

I always found Teds to be the most expensive of the High street sellers. Grant it $899 is not a bad price for the K20 body but he is only reducing his price to the same level as most sellers.

Digital Camera Warehouse has been selling the K20 at that price for over 6 months now, I brought my K7 from them and highly recommend them.

Paxtons are also pretty good and you can haggle with those guys especially thier Parramatta branch. Camera House are a lot like Jessops, IMO from what I have read from people on the forum, (no one there knows much about camera's or photography for that matter ) and just as expensive as Teds.

Paul I may have a second hand K20 for sale in the not too distant future, I will keep you posted.

Thanks mate, So the film advance faultering on the Bronica is a common problem with these cameras? is it an expensive fix?
I will contact the seller again and get a few more details on it. Thanks again.

What do you think of this offer, sounds pretty good to me. It has some good lenses and accessories included. I'm not sure about the quality of the Medium format Bronica or its value but for 1200quid for the lot. I think its pretty reasonable.
I have contacted the seller and he is willing to let me have it for his starting price and will also deliver it personally to my daughters house. he's a new seller so I do have reservations. what do think :

You wouldn't be able to use a hood or a filter on it for that matter, so that huge front element would be somewhat vulnerable.

It would be a great lens for taking shots of your shoes, and you wouldn't have too look down to take the shot.
