It is made by Albinar?? I just tried my vivitar 50mm with no A on the aperture ring and aimed it at hte same light and got 5 stopes overexposed at the same settings so it is the 28mm lens I think, it is even hard to get off,seems like you have to unclick it from the mount twice before it actually comes off.
Oh well, anyone know where to get a good 28mm lens cheap for the ZX7? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brendan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2001 12:27 AM Subject: Re: Can someone help a newbie with a ZX7 please? > Who makes that 28mm lens? some PKR lenses don't fit > right on AF > bodies, it sounds like this is a Vitar PKR lens, if > this is the case > it sounds like you may not be able to use that lens. > The problem is > the AF shaft and power zoom contact points jam on the > extra ricoh pin > on some not fully compatible K mount lenses. > > --- RH <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Another question,since it doesn't show the aperture > > in the viewfinder,it is > > almost completely dark,it seems stuck on f/22 and > > never adjusts so I can > > see through the viewfinder. > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Brendan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Saturday, October 20, 2001 6:22 PM > > Subject: Re: Can someone help a newbie with a ZX7 > > please? > > > > > > > Guess what, That "A" setting is the Auto Aperture > > > setting.
