Hi Fra,
Oh, you are quite adventurous. Aren't you afraid of them - ehm -
marking your 15mm as birds usually do?
Yes, this is a danger, but I do intend to use a protective housing for the
camera with a glass panel to protect the lens and some sort of heating

Has anyone experience of the 135 f2.8 A lens? How would users rate it for
portrait and landscape work?
I have an offer of a used version of this lens and was wondering how other
users would rate it.
Thanks,

Thanks to all who responded to my request for a rating of the above lens.
Looks like it's one to avoid; pity as KEH have one rated 'bargain' ($94.00)
at the moment.
It looks like the SMC 'M' lenses very often out do their newer 'A' stable
mates from what I can see reading PDML posts.
I have two

Hi List,
I am having mail server problems over the weekend so have not
been able to log onto the list. I am just sending this short thank you to
anyone who may have replied to my query on Pentax cords - hopefully, I will
get to read your replies soon.
I also want to thank Bob Sullivan
confirm this is the
correct cord for the above configuration and, if so, can you let me know
where I might purchase either a new or used version of it.
Thanks for your time,
Pat Curran

Does anyone on the list use the Minolta Dimage Scan Elite 5400? I am now
very worried about this focusing problem, especially since I plan to submit
some of my 35mm slides to picture libraries via CD.
I am only getting to grips with film scanning so I cannot comment on the
5400's abilities or

Don't worry Pat, I thought it was really funny
Thanks Cory :)
While setting about selling some 35mm shots to picture libraries and waiting
for some extra cash from the (I hope) sales, I would like to learn as much
as possible about the 67II.
Can anyone recommend useful books or sites on this

Problem with that is the web destroys any quality difference between

the results on the web just didn't do justice to the huge difference in
quality.
OK, I accept the extra quality will

Woops ... looks like I may have come across a real repository of technical

you know what the heck you are on about - You understand I have to get

Hi All,
My dog and myself have been trawling the Net today trying to track
down the wratten numbers for Pentax's 'Morning Evening' and 'Cloudy'
filters.
It turns out that the 'Cloudy' is in fact an 81A light balancing (as opposed
to light conversion) filter which decreases the colour
