The only models I have ever photographed were made of plastic so I should be OK...

One of the big pluses of fora like this is access to the combined memory and brain-power of lots of like-minded folks.
Fascinating looking camera. I have a vague memory of having come across it before but I couldn't put a name to it.

Because the DFA*70-200 is a full frame lens would it still be suitable for use on an APS-C camera?

Yes. I use "full frame" lenses on APS-C all the time. Your field of view is narrower because you are using less of the image circle. Because the DFA*70-200 is a full frame lens would it still be suitable for use on an APS-C camera?

As much as I love the rendering of the 50-135mm lens, the only [autofocus] lens I have that focuses slower is the original AF35-70 from the mid-80s. I know an updated version of the 16--50 is on the cards, lets hope the same is true for the 50-135.

PS the 60-250 despite being SDM too is still faster than the 50-135.

I suggest radio triggers would give you more flexibility however
As a very occasional flash user I got some chip-as-chips Chinese triggers which work fine but tend not to last. The first set I got some years ago just stopped working, dunno why. If you use flash a lot I'd buy something more reputable!I suggest radio triggers would give you more flexibility however

If this is too basic just ignore me... but have you checked what mode the camera is on? If it has been accidentally knocked to manual it won't change unless you change it.
Best wishes, Kris.

Try taking the screen out and just giving it a burst of air first. That might work. You can get screens on ebay etc. fairly easily but be aware that although the MX and LX screens are physically the same, they do impact the exposure readings. With print film probably not enough to worry about but you'll notice it with slide film.

Will your next challenge involve a pile of magnesium powder on a tray? Steve
Although on a bright day with a 1.4 or 1.2 lens you could handhold photos, it doesn't really make the most of using such a slow film. I'm thinking of subjects where I can make the most of the slow exposures. After all, people spend a lot of money on "big stoppers". The other issue is that the film (apparently) does not have a great dynamic range so I'll have to keep an eye on that too. Thankfully, it is only a 24exp roll.
