Very impressive!
What f stop value does this have?
I have a 500mm f 8 Russian screw mount which I love (when I can lift it!)

Just remember the NCA motto (borrowed from the NRA):
"Cameras don't shoot people - people shoot people."
"Cameras don't shoot people - people shoot people."

Howard,
Where are you located?
And I think you mean winding (advancing), not rewinding.

Terry,
Why can't our camera manufacturers employ technical writers of your caliber?
Of course, that's unfair - I'm sure Norwegian and English are more closely related that Japanese or Chinese. And I must admit things have improved since I started photography in the early 60's.
Man, I'm OLD
And cranky

Terry,
Welcome!
I would make the usual comment about your English being better than my Norwegian but in your case, your English is much better than my English!
I not only look forward to looking at pictures of your splendid country, but to reading about your submissions as well.
Bravo!

If I read your last note correctly, condolences are in order and I surely offer mine.
I've been through what you are facing and while daunting, you will get it sorted.
My advice on this one little item, put it somewhere safe until you have time to reflect.
Best of luck and steady on.

I agree with Gartmore!!!
I have a Sotmatic, Spotmatc II and Spotmatic F. I can't bring myself to part with them, even though I use them rarely. Mostly for bellows type macro work. I have a dedicated shelf for these beauties and the 7 screw-mount prime lenses I've assembled.
Nobody built cameras or lenses like these - and never will again.
Which model do you have? And which lens?
If you keep a K1000, this is it's Daddy.
Cheers,

I can use the D18-55 on my P30 and SFX film bodies.
Vignetting is vey bad at 18mm and clears up at 24mm.
Pictures taken in sunlight on ASA100 are sharp. Other than that I'd go for ASA400 or more so that the aperture is smaller then f5.6.
Autofocus works well on the SFX.
Manual of course on the P30.
That's my only film body experience so far - I'll try it on Don's Super Program and let you know.
Cheers,
