That camera/film combination should work. >The instructor was telling us that the >lens has to have a setting for infra-red and I don't see that on the >K1000's lens (standard 50mm/f2). Has anyone ever used infra-red film with >a K1000? Look at the DOF scale on the lens. Starting from the big orange mark (that indicates the set aperture), the second mark to the left should be orange, not white like the others. According to the MX manual, you should focus as usual, then turn the focussing ring so that the measured distance aligns with the IR mark. -- http://members.chello.nl/~j.schoone \\|// Registered Linux user #78364 - The Linux Counter - http://counter.li.org Assume nothing, expect anything. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
