Re: Pentax is considering releasing a new film camera

I'm somewhat abashed to see people who can list all of their cameras. I know I have six digital cameras, not counting iPhone and iPad(s) cameras. But film cameras … sheesh, every time i open a drawer or a box I find a couple more. I don't know how many I have at all, but it's a number well past

RE: Pentax is considering releasing a new film camera

I have: Asahi Pentax SV Spotmatic x 2 Spotmatic II Spotmatic ES Pentax KM Pentax ME Pentax MZ-S Fed 4L - Russian Leica IIIc copy Rolleicord All work, and I regularly use the MZ-S: I am not sure about buying a new model, I'm sufficiently ancient that these will see me out before they pack it in,

RE: lens coating maintenance

I saw a recent program on TV where a 100-year old telescope was restored, and the restorer used methylated spirits on the (glass) lens to bring them back to what looked like pristine quality. I intend to try it on an old 500/8 telescopic lens I own... HTH John in Brisbane -Original

Re: Pentax is considering releasing a new film camera

I’ve shot film on rare occasions. I still have several Spotmatics and Spotmatic ads, an H3V, an MX and an LX. But the last two times I shot film were with an Agfa and a Barnack Leica. Paul > On Dec 20, 2022, at 5:56 PM, Henk Terhell wrote: > > I can't count to 10: I found in my cupboard 2

Re: Pentax is considering releasing a new film camera

I can't count to 10: I found in my cupboard 2 MX, 1 K2, 1 P30, 1 P30T, 2 Spotmatic, 1 MZ-5. The others I own are digital (*istD, K10D, K-5, K-70, K-1). I've sold very few camera's because of poor interest and their low market value. With so many cheap second hand film bodies and compacts on the

Re: Pentax is considering releasing a new film camera

Or, like Leica's reissue of the classic M6 film camera, it is addressing the new audience of young and old photographers who have expressed that they want to shoot film and want to buy a quality film camera new, not just a used (and now in most cases ancient) one. I applaud Leica for doing

Re: Pentax is considering releasing a new film camera

I still have one of myb old Spotties. ,g. I suspect this is aimed at the "collectors" in Japan, who are willing to pay big Yen for just about anything "rare." Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Tue, Dec 20, 2022 at 11:46 AM Henk

I still have a Super Program in my cabinet. I thought I had a PZ-1p too, but I must have given it away, or lent it to someone and forgotten about it. I have no desire to go back to film, though. Rick On Tue, Dec 20, 2022 at 11:46 AM Henk Terhell wrote: > >

lens coating maintenance

I picked up a Super Mutli Coated Takumar 6x7 75mm. Mechanics and internals are fine but the front surface has scuffs. No scratches. Just dull spots. Is there any maintenance for such? -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE
