waiting for a reply from their support.
Anyhow I changed servers. So here I am again. Greetings.

A very interesting comment, Mark, and one I don't understand.
First, how can you prep a shot with one camera and then make a
second keeper with anything but a static subject. IOW, if you're
shooting a living, breathing entity, the second shot will not be the
same as
without meters, or even use hand-held
meters when they have Pentaxes with meters in them already. So somehow
anti-new. I can't think of a word to describe the situation.
Fortunately I still have my old Weston meter. And my S1a. When the brave
new order collapses I'll be ready.

will certainly support them. If there are others who come
before then well, who knows? Should I hand out and wait for what might
never come?

Listen all,
As some of you will know by now I have a considerable investment in M42
lenses, both Takumars and aftermarket types. Many of these lenses are
really excellent and fully as good as my Nikkors so I have absolutely no
desire to get rid of them. But the M42 bodies are getting a bit

Just the other day I started a mini-thread about focussing problems and so
on. Since then I have been experimenting somewhat with the various
Pentaxes in my collection. I have been using a diopter correction lens in
the clip-on attachment with the rubber eyecup which

Further to this matter of focussing, there is something which has
puzzled me a lot for some time now. I note on this (and other)
discussion lists that there is
Well the oldest camera in my possession is a Zeiss-Ikon Contina 35mm folder
with a Novar Anastigmat f3.5 lens in a Prontor shutter. Although somewhat
worn by now it still works (I used it recently just to check it out). Like
many cameras of that day the viewfinder is small and the rangefinder
Well, the main reason I sold both my FM and FM2n and my first MX was the
diode readout. I found that in bright daylight I simply could not see the
diodes. (I wear spectacles). On the other hand, the meter needles in my

I use both Nikon and Pentax equipment (all old) having on the Nikon side the
Nikkormat FTn, FE, F3, N2020 and on the Pentax side Spotmatic, SP-F,
ES-II, K1000, MX and program-A. One great thing about them both is that

Just one thing: IIRC the Yashica D has a Yashikor lens (check this out-
not a Yashinon). The Yashikor is a triplet and the Yashinon is a Tessar
design which is far better. So now, unless you stop down f5.6 or smaller
you MIGHT have some unacceptable falloff around the edges. I owned several

Yet another question please. I promise not to speak again for a while..
Amongst my various screw mount Pentax lenses is a Vivitar 28mm f2.8 lens
which at first sight looks like a Pentax screw mount. Yet when you screw it
in it stops about 20 degrees short. In other words the diaphragm
