I ran three rolls of film through my cameras this morning to check three lens and some longer lens hoods. I tried a 105/2.8 Super Tak, a 135/3.5M and a 200/4 SMC Tak. The first thing I learned is that my SPII needs to go in for a cla before Spring gets here. My ME Super is ready for another year.
I tried the hood for a 200/5.6 Tak on the 135/3.5M (I hate that short builtin hood) and, although it is almost as long as the lens, there was no vignetting in the corners. There was significant light falloff in the corners wide open at f:3.5 with and without the hood. I used the Tak 3.5/135_4/150_5.6/200 hood on the 105.28 Tak. There was noticable light falloff at f:4 and significantly more at wide open f:2.8 on shots taken with and without the hood. However, the thing that has me concerned is that one corner of the frame has much more falloff that the other three. Does anyone have an explanation? Also, how many people on this list test their film, lenses and cameras, before they use them for a serious project? -- Kenneth Archer + San Antonio, Texas [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ #24980801 Powered by Linux ++ Mailed by Kmail - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
