During the Nature Photo Weekend, camping spaces are available first
come/first served in the picnic area inside the property. It's primitive,
meaning there are no showers. There is also the possbility that one of the
lower meadows will be opened for camping, though that's not yet been
confirmed.

There no gears on a TRUE manual focus lens to interact with anything on the
PZ-1p. Should be no problem. Thats how you would use TRAP FOCUS!

Thanks Dave, that sounds like it might work for me. 400 isn't offensive to
me, as my occasionally unsteady hands are likely to degrade the image
beyond the effects of granularity with the better 400 films.

I don't see this conclusion at all. If a third party
maker, either Tamron or Cosina, is putting together a
lens for Pentax, and the lens features SMC, then it
seems natural for me to conclude that Pentax provided

I ordered 3 Super Programs from KEH and they all had shutter problems. I
finally bought one from a private individual that is perfect and near mint
(the camera, that is). I think SPs are getting a little too old to have a
lot of confidence in, if you don't know their history.
Thanks,
