Thanks very much for all your efforts in this study, Ken.

I think I'll just be content with my Auto110 lenses as part of a collection and use the Q's in the manner in which they were developed. (That's assuming I ever get a Q of course).

Appreciate it!

Thanks as always John!

Hi, Everyone!

I have a full suite of Pentax Auto 110 lenses that I thought were collectors' only.

Now I hear that with an adapter, these little guys can be fitted to the new Pentax Q body.

Having neither the Pentax Q or the adapter, I thought I'd learn before I leap.

Can anyone give me their experience here?

And guess what camera body I still have in my collection?

John, John and John,

Thanks so much for putting my mind at ease!

Now I can consider the Limited's and re-mortgage the house.

Drooling over the 15mm.

Cheers!

Hello everyone.

I have a *istDS, and am using a collection of older M42 and K Mount lenses.

Reading reviews of the newer Limited lenses, I gather that their Auto Focus is achieved by a physical drive connection to the camera body.

Is this connection the same as what was around in the olden days of 2004?

I'm thinking of a 21mm Ltd, and won't mind manually focusing if necessary.

Thanks for your help.

Happy Sunday!

Nigel and John,

You fellows have provided me a great deal of information about this science and if nothing else, I'm beginning to understand the evolution of the internal workings of the newer camera models (not just more pixels etc). Thank you for your insights.

Seems to me that the TTL metering is improving to such a degree that hand-held meters are becoming less and less necessary. Maybe that's why so many are for sale on line.

Gonna play with meters whenever I can to learn all I can about the all-important, and most complex photography component - light.

Bonjour Yves!

Actually, my evil and wealthy Nikon brother-in-law has both a Sekonic Incident studio meter, and a Nikon Spot Meter. We are heading into Les Cantons de L'Est (sp) for the weekend and he is bringing them both with him for us to experiment with.

Merci beaucoup for your very kind offer, however!

I'll let you all know if I discover anything earth shattering.

Fly safely, Mon Ami!

Thank's Nigel,

Just went through your gallery and I'd say you certainly know your stuff!

Do you often use an incident meter reading outdoors?

Have you ever compared it to what your K7 would choose to do in matrix mode?

I appreciate your input!

Thanks as always John.

That's what I'm finding even now with my istDS set on "Spot", in inexpert hands (mine).

BTW, thanks for that little piece of history - never knew what the "Spot" was supposed to mean.

I guess the "matic" part was that the meter was coupled with the shutter speed, and we set the lens opening to wherever the needle centered.

OK, moving on the center-weighted.

Cheers!
