I gotta get me some of that "Lovely light". Or a house mounted on a turntable.

I love the fact that George's quick test pictures are works of art compared to my best efforts!

Sure, my guru, if you would push the lens' short and long limits as well as maximum and minimum aperture, I'd be most grateful.

I'd be using the lens on 35mm film where I think it would be an ideal all-round range. I have an FA 28 - 80 presently and like it quite a lot.

Hi Mannesty!

Thanks for your input as always.

Getting some UK weather here for the last day or so - at least the rain melts the snow banks.

Cheers,

Hi Folks!

A question about an older F Series zoom lens.

It's 35mm - 135mm (f 3.5 - 4.5).

I know the zoom range is quite a stretch, but has anyone had some experience with it that'd they'd care to share?

I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks

Clarky,

Lookin' good!

How does the Pentax compare to your Tamron?

I don't know what #4 is called either, but we have exactly the same guy in Canada - they're very common in Quebec.

Strange for me to see wasps build exposed cells before the outside shell. Maybe because I'm so used to paper wasps, mud daubers and ground wasps. Neat!

Really enjoy your shots.

Cheers

David,

If the MX is like most of the other Pentax bodies, the lower PC terminal is correct for electronic flash. (Marked "X"?) I assume your flash has such a cable? If so, it is usable.

It would help us if you could tell us the make and model of the flash in question. Very often the problem is with the flash's hot shoe terminal. Is there another flash you can try?

Good luck

WELCOME BELLIE!

Please let us know how you make out with your new gear!

Have fun!

My goodness,

Right back atcha, Don!

See, Steve, your boy won't find a better forum than right here!

Steve!

Don't worry about it.

I'm actually stupid AND immature, and I'm still tolerated here!

See?

I look forward to your boy's visits.

Cheers

I use a Super Program quite often - in the same family as your ME.

Can you see if the batteries are still strong by the read-outs? Or try changing the batteries?

What is/was your selsector set to? Try all settings.

Would you be willing to rewind the film? Or try pressing in the rewind release on the bottom to see if that frees anything up? If you keep track of the frame count, you can reload to that point and carry on later.

If the shutter is in fact jammed, it would be good to get a look at it with the back open.

Please let us know what you find and good luck.

If all else fails - there's always Eric Hendrickson in Tennessee - a miracle worker.

Wonderful shots!

Congrats to you both!

Great to see a Godin guitar from Quebec touring West Africa in the hands of such a skilled performer.

And Happy Easter to all.
