Re: LX 250 bulk back w/winder

This is for using the bulk back without a motor drive, i..e. it connects the bulk back to the rapid wind lever. Absolutlely essential if you don't have the motor drive. The instructions for the MX bulk back are available as a PDF on the Pentax USA site. As you can probably tell there isn't much difference between the MX back and the LX back. Unfortunately the PDF is a bit hard to understand in points because the compression has made the diagrams are almost impossible to see - they seem to be 1 bit rather than grey scale. I have the instrcutions for the LX bulk film magazine, so if you are really pressed I could photocopy them and send them to you. By the way, the acessories (cartrdiges and loader) are the same as the Nikon, Canon, Minolta etc versions, only the actual camear backs are different.

Unless you know exactly how much film went through the fixer, the test is pretty useless. If you know how much film went through the fixer, the test is 1/2 useless. You need to do the test with fresh fix, or else you have no baseline. Fixer exhaustion is indicated when the clearing time doubles. I dump long before then.

Re: Painting muslin
Gettin lots of milage out of this post. For the third time: - Original Message - From: Treena Harp Subject: OT: Painting muslin > To my great dismay, I find I didn't save the recent posts on painting > backdrops. My question is, do you need to prime the muslin before painting > it? And if so, what do you use? I posted this to the list some time ago. It certainly applies to what you want to do. 1) Buy a whole bunch of the biggest honkin' muslin you can find. We buy it in 9 foot (well 3 meters, actually) whole bolts of fabric. I think a bolt is 10 meters, and we will buy as many as 6 at a time. 2) Sew the suckers together to make as big a background as you want. The biggest we have made is 3 bolts, which worked out to 26 feet x 29 feet finished size. 3) Get a couple of gallons of latex paint in the colour you want as a base, and a couple of quarts each in a couple of complementary colours. You also want a gallon of clear latex emulsion. 4) Find an area large enough to spread your background out flat on the ground. We use the park behind one of the partners' house. You want to start this sort of thing mid morning, when the weather forecast is for hot, dry conditions. 5) Now it's fun time. A couple of willing assistants are needed. I prefer skimpily dressed female assistants because I am a pig. Anyway, pour the base colour into a bucket and mix in about 1/3 of the clear emulsion and a couple of quarts of water. Mix well. This will be rolled thickly onto 1/2 of the muslin. 6) In a couple of bottles with squirt nozzles (well rinsed dish detergent bottles work well for this) mix up the complementary colours, using the same proportions as given above. I realize the instructions that I have given for mixing the paint is like a recipe for Scottish baking, but it really doesn't matter a whole bunch. You can't screw it up. 7) Roll a really heavy layer of base colour onto half the muslin. Squirt random beads of the base colours onto the same half. If you find you think you need to add either more water, or more paint to the mix, then do so. 8) Fold the muslin in half, dry side to wet side. 9) Remember dropping acid and tye dying shirts? Have your assistants take the muslin at each end and start twisting it up as hard as they can. This is messy, and gets paint all over anyone doing it. Take your camera and photograph the ensuing wet paint T-Shirt contest. 10) This is work, remember? After the assistants are covered in paint, flatten out the muslin and do whatever touchups need to be done. It is acceptable to use paint covered assistants for touch ups. You may need to add come base coat here, perhaps some more of one of the trim colours there. If you add paint, you will want to repeat step 9. 11) After you have the muslin the way you want it, take your assistants inside and wash them thoroughly. By the time the assistants are dry, the muslin should be nearly dry also. Drink beers and barbecue steaks until the muslin is thoroughly dry and can be folded up. We prefer to bunch the muslin into a stuff sack rather than folding it. The random creases are less noticable. Above all, this should be fun Please see: http://pug.komkon.org/01nov/2Rotties.html for an example of a muslin made in this fashion. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Thats a crap shoot Mike. The film advance is an issue with the 6x7. They didn't get it fixed until the 67. I think the only way to make sure you don't get one with a problem is to buy a new one. If you Ebayed it, maybe you can get the vendor to spring for the repair. I can't advise you on a repair depot in the USA, and I won't advise you on how to spend your money. I can pretty much guarantee that if you buy a 6x7 with a good film advance, you will be sending it in eventually to fix the film advance at some point though.

Hi Geoff, Yes, that helps a lot. Although I have Photoshop 6.0, it doesn't run worth a damn on this machine, nor does Paint Shop Pro.

RE: TMAX 400 processing
I just checked Kodak's web site and they recommend 5-10 minutes using REGULAR fixer which is what I use. So 15 minutes wasnt that far off. They also recommend using twice the film clear time and checking it at 5 minutes. maybe next time I will. I'll probably use 10 minutes as my fix time not 15. I will also switch to constant agitation (roller) fixing as thats what they recommend, I was using intermittant. They also state if theres a light pink stain to fix some more ( I knew that). Other than checking clearing time, is there another way to tell if fixer is exausted? I reuse my fixer for many rolls.

Like I said, you just need to do this *once*, not each time you develop...you just need to figure out the correct time for your fixer/film combo. Honestly, if you get some rapid fixer and mix it at film strength you could probably use 5 minutes as your time and you'd be ok. One more thing...there are 2 types of fixer: regular, and rapid. 15 minutes with rapid fixer is probably way too long...you might actually bleach the film. The active ingredient in rapid fixer is ammonium thiosulphate. Regular fixer uses sodium thiosulphate. tv - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

You should have some film tails lying around...the little left over pieces you cut off the leader when you're loading reels. You just need an inch or 2 of film. Take that piece of film, dunk it in the fixer you plan to use, and take a peek at your timer. Swish it around a bit. In a minute or 2 it'll turn clear. Take another peek at your timer...that's your clearing time. Multiply your clearing time times 2 to get your fixing time. Some folks, me included, recommend 3 times the clearing time. So, if you take your film tail, swish it around the fixer and it clears out in 1 minute, then you'd use 2 minutes as your fixing time, 3 if you do the 3x method. You just need to do this once to figure out your fixing time, not each time you develop. If you reuse your fixer you might want to do some further testing to see how much your fixing times increase with each batch.

Re: Hey, you frequent Ebay SELLERS
Well, I try to list _most_ things so they end up closing late in the evening on Sundays, E.S.T. but I have to admit I scatter them throughout the week and haven't noticed any real difference between those that end on Sunday or during the week in the evening. I think MOnday nights during football season is good for my clothing sales to other women :) and Thursday evenings seem ok also. The trouble with following the Sunday evening trend is that if everyone is on ebay at the same time it gets a little slow. And I use "buy it now" a lot so the timing isn't so critical there. annsan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > In a message dated 3/30/2002 1:07:15 PM Eastern Standard Time, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > > Has anyone determined a good day of the week or time of day to end auctions? > > > >Best day to sell on e-Bay: Sunday preferably 8 to 10PM eastern time >Best day to buy: Wednesday early evening 6:30 to 8PM eastern. > > Just my personal observations as a > buyer/seller > Bob > - > This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

SV: M42 to K mount question
Hi Hi Dave I'm quite sure that the meter is normally not affected by the mount used. Provided that the lens/camera works correctly. The "movement", as you describe it, is only affected by the way (the speed) the changes of the light, that hits the meter - the changing light at the scene or by the way you turn the dials on the K1000. Are you sure that the aperture simulator is activated properly by the lens/aperture?

I've always thought that people who say that don't really know how to use their meter to its fullest and are getting smacked by the film's relatively narrow exposure latitude. This stuff ain't Kodak Max: you actually have to be well within the exposure ballpark to make a printable neg. If I am using my Sekonic, I meter at 160 for NPS and NPC.

It has the smoothness of NPS, with a bunch more saturation, especially in the reds, though skin tones still look good -- not as natural as NPS, mind you, but still good.

M42 to K mount question
Hi all.I tried out my new adaptor yesterday,using a Super Tak 200 f4 on the K1000.One thing i noticed was the light meter was noticably slower moving with the 200 that if the 35-80 or 80-200 was attached. Is this a common thing. Mind you the weather has been really cloudy and windy lately.

I thought that I had once saw a study that indicated that stuff that closed on weekends sold higher, but darned if I could remember where or find a link to it... but, if true, that would confirm what the other posters have said. This study done by a Professor of Marketing the University at Buffalo: http://www.buffalo.edu/reporter/vol32/vol32n24/briefly.html (scroll down, it is the 6th headline on the page) talks about "herd-behavior bias", which is described as a form of online peer pressure. -- --Chris Webster, P.E. www.speakeasy.org/~cwebster -- - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: OT: Matching Colors in HTML
I think if you click on the eyedropper in photoshop and then click on the portion of the drawing you want to match it will give you the RGB value.

Can you tell me a little more about the condition of the cameras? How old are they? I assume every function works on them? Does it come with a manual? What is the Grip Strap?

Re: Why Didn't This Sell for More???
A reasonable rule of thumb, for items that you can still buy new, is %25 - %30 off new discount price. Bundles (camera and lens) also go for less than if the two items were sold seperatly. That lens would have had a hard time selling for much more than $150. Mid, and high end Pentax AF lenses do not hold their value very well. I saw a PZ-1, 70-200/2.8, 28-70/2.8 and some other stuff in one auction only hit a price of about $1500; a small fraction of what it would cost to replace. Yahoo!
