Anybody has any pointers or hints or experience with this?
A friend of mine has a high end Leaf writer.

As a matter of course, I try to use the longest, deepest hood that won't
vignette.

The ST 300/5.6 hood is a very long 58mm one. It may fit the 135mm on an ist D.

I'm mostly a type 4 kinda guy in this case.
In addition, I keep a set of lithiums in my bag for those cases when I

The reason the A2 can perform flash sync at 1/4000 second is that it is
a leaf shutter design: there is a point in the operation of a leaf
shutter that all blades are fully open at all shutter speeds.
What leaf shutter is able to work at
The problem with leaf shutters on standard cameras has to do with size and
mass, and, of course, acceleration. Such shutters are much larger and
heavier than the shutters on the small digicams. At some point the larger
shutters are unable to maintain accurate shutter speeds. This has often

Hi
What exactly is considered a slow charge versus a quick? I have a Radio
Shack charger that takes 7 hours to fully charge. The batteries never get
beyond slightly warmer then ambient. I'm thinking of getting a charger we
sell at work that's a 2 hour charger, because it also has a car adapter.
Woo Hoo! I have both of the two most dangerous Pentax cameras...
