Re: Help filling out the Brotherhood application
You can distinguish the two 55/4s by the placement of the lens designation type. On the later, prefered version, the type appears on a chamfer on the end of the focus ring. Just like an A series lens f or Pentax 35mm. I have this lens as well and love it. Paul -- Original message -- From: Mark Cassino [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a 6x7 with MLU, but no metering.

Re: Help filling out the Brotherhood application
Hello Scott, Yes, basically that is it. I used to have both the 165 LS and the 90 LS. Yes, they did make a 90mm leaf shutter lens. It is older and slightly more dangerous to use. The reason I say that is you can't really tell from the viewfinder that the leaf shutter is cocked. On the 165, after firing the leaf shutter, the viewfinder goes black until you re-cock it. So you are very aware that you haven't cocked it yet for the next shot. On the 90, you can still see just fine, so you take the first shot at 1/8 sec and then forget to cock the leaf and take the second shot at truly 1/8 sec - severe over exposure and camera movement result. If you are more careful it works just fine. Both lenses operate as normal lenses when you don't want to use the leaf shutter. Based on focal length, I found the 90 slightly more useful than the telephoto 165. If you are doing daylight fill, they are the only way to go - otherwise you are stuck with a max shutter speed of 1/30 sec. -- Bruce Wednesday, August 29, 2007, 8:37:08 AM, you wrote: SL Norm Baugher wrote: If you're gonna use a flash, go with the 165/4 LS...(lovely lens BTW).

Re: Help filling out the Brotherhood application
HI Scott. I have the 6x7 with mirror lock up, so i quess thats the more recent one of that set. Its heavy, but as proven by WW and Aaron Reynolds, can be handheld at slow speeds with good results. I have the 90 f2.8 leaf lens and the Tak 200 F 4( i tyhink it is.) That 200 is the best lens i own other then the 77, and both take lovely pictures, nice a crisp. I always wanted to get a wider lens but never got around to getting one. Not sure about fixing them, but i';m sure there are people out there that can still work them.

Scott, I'd go for a 67. 6x7 with mirror lock-up is a minimum. I like the 165/2.8 lens, but I think the 105/2.4 is the better in your normal range. You know there are a full complement of lenses, finders, and gadgets for these cameras. You are embarking on major league enablement. Regards, Bob S.

If you saw Cesar shooting 6x7 at GFM, odds are, you saw one or more of my lenses. I borrowed Cesar's 6x7 for an afternoon at GFM. I agree, that 45mm is a wonderful lens. The 55 is very nice too (that one might have been Cesar's lens? I don't remember...). -Mat So did I, year before last. It was just before we all left the mountain but I managed squeeze out a roll in the picnic area. All hand held. I used to have one or two of them online, but they're not now. I'll have to dig them out and put them back up. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Its heavy, but as proven by WW and Aaron Reynolds, can be handheld at slow speeds with good results. I have the 90 f2.8 leaf lens and the Tak 200 F 4( i tyhink it is.) That 200 is the best lens i own other then the 77, and both take lovely pictures, nice a crisp. I always wanted to get a wider lens but never got around to getting one. Not sure about fixing them, but i';m sure there are people out there that can still work them. Brother Dave Thanks, Dave. Looks like Pentax Colorado is still listing the 6x7 with MLU and anything newer as serviceable. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

One of my options is a 67 with one (count 'em, 1) lens. I got a couple questions. I recall reading somewhere (probably this very list) that the 67 body is a better option than a 6x7. Newer, more likely to be repairable, etc. Would someone mind confirming that for me? Also, I'm looking at a normal lens to go with it. SMC Takumar 105/2.4, SMC 105/2.4 or SMC 90/2.8? Any opinions?

My opinion is that you should get a set of dumbbells to work up that arm strength, and that the wooden grip is great, but it felt to me like it should be on the other side of the camera.
