Which would you choose: the 35mm F2 FA-AL, or the 35mm F3.5K? Our man chose the former so we have the latter available. I had to hold off telling you all about it 'til he had made his choice. An extremely nice example, I must say. Cased, too. Kind regards Peter

Unearthed a pile of (predominantly) lens cases. HG90 HB90B (my info says 50mm F1.2 A) HA90B (all the 28 and 35mm manual M A lenses - ok -not the PC) 120mm Case 6x7 Prism Case 6x7 Teleconverter? Case oh, and an MX Winder, a 200mm F4 M, and some scruffy ME-Supers. Kind regards Peter

Re: Macro and extension tubes, was: Re: New Toys

Bill, Full helicoid extension on the 100/4 macro gives 1:2 magnification and requires plus one stop exposure correction. Adding the 50mm tube permits a magnification range from 1:2 when the focus ring is on infinity (the same as the fully extended lens with no tube) to 1:1 when the helicoid is

Re: New Toys

The helicoid on the 100/4 Macro extends 50mm on its own. Add that to a 50mm tube and you get 100mm extension therefore 1:1 magnification. Regards, Anthony Farr - Original Message - From: Bill Owens [EMAIL PROTECTED] (earlier message snipped) Wouldn't an extension tube have to give

William and all... Back from my trip to the camera store. I didn't know they had so many battery alternatives! These guys had sealed Wein (air-zinc) cells that replace the 625 mercury cells, as well as 1.5 v. Varta (German) size 625 alkalines, called V625U, that fit the Spotmatic F perfectly. And
