Re: 1.4x for 300mm f4.5 F

Could somebody tell me which is the correct and best 1.4x teleconverter for a 300f4.5 F (EDIF) lens. The Pentax brochure states that only the A2X-S can be used on this lens, but some reported they were using the A1.4X-S without problem. Both are manual focus versions. What about extension

I just bought a small package of Rodinal. I don't know if it comes with a chart as I haven't opened it yet, but I'd be pleased to have a copy of yours. I couldn't find Agfapan 100 at the store I visited today, but I'm sure I can get it elsewhere in town. In my previous photographic life, I used

Re: Agfapan 100 in Rodinal Ella Fitgerald

Got it. Thanks. Interestingly enough, they recommend rating T-Max 400 at 320 for a ten minute soak in Rodinal 1 to 50, the identical spec to my D-76 1:1 processing of that film. For 1:100, they suggest a 200 asa exposure and a 15 minute development or a 160 exposure at 20 minutes. This sounds

Gosh, I haven't used Photo Deluxe in a long time, but I think I remember that it will save as a J-peg. However, you can't just do it as a save as. Poke around the menus and look for something like a file type. Seems to me, there was a way of converting it to a jpeg. paul. Jody wrote: The big

Re: MZ-S Cost...Hey Pentax.

Hopefully the price will drop to the $1100 range or $ 650 US (worth the trip over the border). It's been selling at under CAD1200, but in HK. :( regards, Alan Chan _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at

The one feature I always felt that the 645n lacked has not been added, namely: Interchangeable Film Backs! I guess it's because if this feature was added, the body size would be added as well. regards, Alan Chan _ Get your FREE

Re: Agfapan 100 in Rodinal Ella Fitgerald

Hi Paul ... I never cared much for Microdol - the grain was too soft, likewise for D-76 when used straight or 1:1 in some instances. While I don't always want large grain, I like the grain to be very sharp. Some developers, or some developers at some dilutions, provide a fine grain effect by

Re: the cost of my new camera

I usually use manual mode when doing indoor shots. The setting I use most: ISO400 print film, f2.8 or 4, 1/30 or 1/60s, TTL flash (or manual flash when the situation allowed). This method has never failed me. regards, Alan Chan Some of you (the ones who have REALLY good memories)may remember

Re: OT - Photoshop sucks (IMHO)

Jody, Maybe you should uninstall and reinstall. PhotoDeluxe (I have the Business Edition) will open most typical GIF, PNG, JPG and TIF files, and will save in the same formats - use File-Save As-Other But you're right, its workspace is lousy - if you go to the store, I suggest you get Adobe

Asahi Pentax Photography

Today, I found a mint copy of 'Asahi Pentax Photography' 1964 Asahi Pentax International Photo Contest. Does this contest still exist? The contents are inspiring, and many photos are recognisable from subsequent photographic books from over the years. e.g. 'Girl and Guitar' Pelle Holmstraom; 'A

Help!! I can't work my LX.

I am a little ashamed to admit, the subject line is true. I plugged my M100 f4 macro onto the front. I also tried my FA35-80 f4-f5.6. Then I put some film in. When I try on manual, the shutter won't release at all, at various shutter speeds, although it goes down halfway and a red light comes on
