possible image, and then zoom back to the desired focal length. This ensures
maximum focusing accuracy. Lenses such as SMC P 45-125mm f/4 and 85-210mm

Let me make sure the index tab left on allows the camera to shoot at ASA
400? If you get a 200 speed roll iwith the tab on it will underexpose by
one stop. Not undesirable in some cases:)?

in a semi-darkened room. With the
auto 110 and a cartridge with the index tab sliced off, exposure was
approximately one second by ear. With a cartridge with the index tab intact,
exposure was about two seconds or more.

Hi folks,
I am a newcomer to the list...
I own a Pentax Auto 110. Does the ASA adjust to 200 when 200 speed film
is load or does it default
on
the right side of the cartridge as you load the camera.
Stephen Gandy has a nice write up at:

combination is unfortunately .55x magnification.

Just tried this on two LX's with old style shutter curtain. Same problem at 3200
ISO as your camera. Erratic timing once every four to ten shutter releases.
Absolutely no erratic behavior at 800 ISO.

Hmm
So is the limited lens pool from earlier this year back on? (I guessed

I always use mirror up on my Spotmatics when I can. Just tap the
shutter to lock up the mirror and screw in the cable release to
fire it. I'd have thought you could use a cable release with the
MX mirror up too.

discriminate between Pentax designed and rebadged lenses. But
any light tight box for the lenses would be fine.
On the other hand I must admit I have enjoyed viewing many

overall. Perhaps Pentax specs their wide angles at minimum focus
distance while the Zeiss lens was specified at infinity focus?
Even that would account for little; maybe a couple of degrees
difference.

That got me to wondering what the oldest cameras,
lenses, and emulsions list members may be using on
a regular basis.
Daily shooter Spotmatic SP. The Takumar 1:4/300 gets used every
month or two. Kodachrome has changed emulsions, but the name is
old (1936?).

"Lower case"?? Do you mean the hard case that attaches by

Yes, the lower half of either the hard case or the soft case
will do. Anything less feels too small for good handling. It's
. Is this the case?
Robert Monaghan has an interesting page comparing auto focus
with manual focus. Seems rather scathing to the autofocus camp.

one comment that the 55mm is soft through f5.6 and then
becomes sharp at f8. I like shots at f8 on this lens better than
shots at f8 on any of my other lenses; but it's not just the
sharpness. All lenses are compromises and the 55mm is a pleasing
compromise.

They are different. The Super-Takumar and SMC Takumar have 5

larger, and weighs more than the SuperTak/SMCTak.

I think the black Spotmatic without hotshoe is the best looking

r of 35 compared to the
Pentax ZX-5n with guide number of 11. As pointed out by a list
member, the Nikon sounds better but when the 35 feet are
compared to the 11 meters, they come out about the same. Maybe
the LX 98% by 95% viewfinder is pretty close to the other brands
top model.

Mike Johnston opines:
SMC-FA 35mm f/2 (for all general shooting)
SMC-FA 50mm f/1.4 (for indoors in "available darkness")
SMC-77mm f/1.8 or 85mm f/1.4 (for dedicated portrait shooting).
Agreed! (with a little more emphasis on the 50mm for general
shooting).
