Are there collectors here of old photographic memorabilia.

There are available two small metal plaques enscribed IWPS.

These are set on wood.

If any interest I can possibly send pictures.

My only comment is..

If you put your toe into the water and it is warm you quickly end up to your neck.

The occasional transgression out of necessety is one thing but it must not degenerate into transgressions for convenience.

A Pentax site it is and a Pentax site it should always be.

Thanks K10. A poor reproduction but just enough detail.

A question. Can this bellows be used without the twin release cable? Digital cameras do not have cable release possibilities

Regards Thoramay.

Would anyone be using these auto bellows.

I have been loaned these bellows but without instructions. Would these be available somewhere for downloading, or maybe someone has the instructions and can help me out. Thanks
Update...Have tried downloading these instructions but I am told that there are none available. I believe that this has been a previous problem and a forum member came to the rescue. I would welcome any help, please

Regards Thoramay.

Have now purchased an adapter for mamiya 245 to Pentax K10

I have access to a mamiya 150 lens, plus others in this range from a fellow club member to try.

Should be fun. Will let you know how I progress with this set up.

regards Thoramay.

Thanks, Ken. I have zooms to 300mm. I am after a prime lens.

I already have the pentax 1.7 TC

I can source the adapter for £55.

How easy to be confused.

Another forum indicates that a 165 6x7 plus adapter, plus 1.7 converter ends up being lighter than the 300 f4 and can out perform it. The pictures produced as confirmation excites me.

I have no experience of either but I am interested in this route and would be pleased with comments from those with this experience.

regards Thoramay.

I guess this has appeared before. I am interested in a prime 300mm lens.
Reading on another forum it is suggested that a 6x7 lens with adapter would possibly meet my needs.
Have read other comments that suggest this is not really viable for wildlife shots.
It is the cheaper option in terms of cash but is it really the best use of the cash.
Have anyone taken this route and could offer guidance for me.

regards. Thoramay.

PM sent re adapter

Perhaps it is my shaky hand. I find that looking through the eye piece and using the focus ring, no matter how carefully I do this when my hand leaves the focus ring there is camera movement.
I now have a focus rail that I find eliminmates this movement but I still need to peer into the eyepiece to confirm correct focus. Wearing glasses I need to be right against the eye piece. Even with a steady monfrotto tripod moving away from the eye piece can create movement. A focus confirm in the top window, be it split screen or green hexacon would eliminate this. This is all in reference to close up and macro.
It is probably reaching for the moon but how difficult would it be to include this function?
