Thanks for the thoughts, I'll pack it in a bag and store it for a rainy day.
Greg

Thanks,
So much info.

And here was I hoping I could resurrect a treasure.

I have an old Lunasix 3 light-meter in perfect condition and I see that B & H have a battery adaptor from Gossen ($39+shipping) which allows the use of silver oxide batteries in place of the original mercury batteries.

Is there really any purpose in having a working light-meter when the camera does all the metering I normally requires and I'm sure a new digital model would be easier to use, should I need one.

It's such a beautiful bit of equipment that it seems a waste to just leave it lying in a box

I'm surprised by the amount of information available on the web relating to the Lunasix 3.

When I've cut old split focusing screens down to size for my K200D I hold the screen by it's sides and wash it with dish washing liquid soap and a soft artist paint brush, rinse and pat not rub dry with lens tissue.

[quote:3496ace15f="johnriley"]That is how I understood it.

Greg

I agree with you.

My understanding was that his camera a Nikon D3x could be switched between formats link and he believed that without moving or changing lenses that the image size projected on the sensor would increase or decrease dependant on the format he selected.

Greg

I have a friend who bought the latest most expensive FF Nikon which can switch between the two formats. He would not belive that regardless of the sensor size selected the the image progected onto the sensor remained the same size.

Greg

A very basic question about the FF, APS-C debate. I assume that the comparisons are done using the same lens and that the FF photo is taken from closer to the subject so that in both cases the identically framed image occupies the full sensor.

I appreciate that the pixel density of the sensor will also play a part in the detail captured.

Greg

Lovely, please tell me that it was a dead fly, the flies around here are not co-operative.

Greg

Very impressive, what lens combination did you use and how far was the subject from the front lens. It must take ages to set up each shot.
