Photo shops on canada (pentax in Spain)
Hi cotty, buying in USA is a option that I had, but there is one problem TAXES for any shipping made from outside Europe, they are charging me near a 40% on the price... And this make it more expensive than buying in Europe. I think I will finally end buying a Canon EOS 10D (1440 euros) and a Canon 17 40 F4 for a little more than I have a IstD in Spain. I think I am selling a lot of Pentax Equipment Thanks cotty -Mensaje original- De: Cotty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: domingo, 28 de septiembre de 2003 9:50 Para: pentax list Asunto: RE: Photo shops on canada (pentax in Spain) On 27/9/03, [EMAIL PROTECTED] disgorged: >Cotty, I need help, I think that Reflecta, the Pentax importer for >spain became fools think that the list price for a MZ-S camera is more >or less 1300 EURO and for a FGZ 360 400 euro.

They're about a mile or two east of Henry's, on Queen Street between Parliament and River. I can't give you their url, because their site freezes my old computer every time. If you Google Vistek's, though, you'll find it. I know they sell Pentax, but they don't usually have much in their display case. Aden Camera, Yonge Street, between Dundas and Gerrard: http://www.adencamera.com/ Look at that, they have the *ist D on special right on their front page!! Their price comes in at 1638 Euros with the 18-35 lens. Downtown Camera is on Queen Street East, right around the corner from Henry's (south side of Queen, just west of Church). http://www.downtowncamera.com/ Those are the major outlets here in downtown Toronto. Maybe one of the suburban boys can help out with stores outside of downtown, but I'm sure your friend will be downtown anyway. Hope this helps. cheers, frank Emilio Puga wrote: > Hi everybody, I am Emilio Puga, from Mallorca Island in Spain.

Ok, let´s go with my question, well, here in spain weve got serious problems with pentax importer, not only avaibility but also PRICES of the equipment, one example IstD is priced in Canada and USA at 1440 euro (equivalent) and here in Spain buying it in a distributor (price for pros only) they are asking near 1950 euro for the body only, do you think it is a loyal importer?? I THINK THEY DONT WANT TO SELL PENTAX EQUIPMENT.

MZ-S Vs..................F5?
Today I´ve been talking about a job next friday, and he came with his F5 and micro nikkor 105, curiosity was killing me, what about doing a challenge between his N and my MZ-S?. These were the results. First look: Ok, Mz-S is small (very small near F5), but if you talk about visual built quality . Mz-S look very near from N flagship- Real build quality: there is a big diference in price and F5 is full of metal everywhere, big diference in camera back, but not a lot more in the rest of the camera. AF Speed and accuracy: big surprise, Mz-S hunt where N** fails, Can´t apreciate a big diference in AF Speed. Vertical Grip: I´m the one who thinks that BG-10 its almost perfect?? Vertical and horizontal grips are at the same distance from lens,. Ok, don´t have same specs but I think I don´t need 5 fs and also 1/6000 its enougth. Gadgets: miss MRC, DOF level design, Hyper Operation, Integrated Flash, gain Manual rewind, and a pair of details. Conclusion, I DON´T WANNA PAY THE DIFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO CAMERAS only for a metalic back. Saludos - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

While the build quality isn't superb, it does feel adequate. If you try out the wireless operations with the MZ-S, I think you will be happy. Note that the MZ-S can be set so the popup flash is just a controller and pressing the LCD illumination button can trigger the modeling light on the flash. I am pleased with the features.

My thoughts entirely - I'm about to head off and buy some pre-rolled Delta 400. I have run about 35 rolls of regular film so far (and had four stuck - one of which was regular XP2) but I haven't used pre-rolled 'true' B&W (although for the life of me I cannot think this will make a difference - just want to be sure). I'll run some tests and document them as at the moment I am aware that without clearly defining the problem, it is hard to get to a clearly defined solution. I'll post the results as soon as I can. Cheers P. PS. Anyone know how long Pentax UK take to fix and return a camera?

Perhaps you can consider the Z-1p/PZ-1p which you can alter the aperture throught the body (when the lens was set at 'A').

RE: PLASTIC aperture pin BROKE (SFXn) ;( METAL ONE?
Hi, few months ago I´ve changed my Z1p ring for the one of a Z10, it´s almost the same piece, It´s very easy to do. I think you can call your Importer and ask for the piece, or try to repair it yourself. Good Luck, -Mensaje original- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] En nombre de Alan Chan Enviado el: lunes, 10 de diciembre de 2001 0:46 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: Re: PLASTIC aperture pin BROKE (SFXn) ;( METAL ONE? Perhaps you can order the part (just a plastic ring with a tiny piece of metal on it) yourself from Pentax and then designed what to do next. It's a few buck only as I remember. regards, Alan Chan >I am sure it will be a quick repair (IF I can do it myself - I am >pretty sure my local authorised Pentax repair would overcharge me - I >have had bad dealings with them in the past.

This is the message I sent to the list about this matter six months ago: "Yesterday I installed a SB-21 focusing screen, intended for use in the LX in my MX. The new focus screen is 1 and 1/2 stops brighter, then I have to compensate using the ASA scale of the exposure meter. That's the only change observed, besides the brighter image through the viewfinder, which makes focusing easier." -- Carlos Royo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zaragoza (Aragon) - Spain -- - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

RE: LX and K 50 1.2 for Sale or Trade for Pentax AF
Te la cambio por una Z1p con un 28/70 2,6 2,8 Tokina y varias pantallas de enfoque. -Mensaje original- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] En nombre de [EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: miércoles, 21 de noviembre de 2001 18:00 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: LX and K 50 1.2 for Sale or Trade for Pentax AF Here I go again... LX BODY: - LX body. Old style shutter. Serial no. 529. Focuses at infinity and the mirror doesn't sticks. The bumpers shows some degradation, so I suppose the syndrome will appear in a near or far future. The cosmetics are good. Fully functional. - FA-1 finder. - Grip A very nicely shaped and painted black. - Strap lugs and sync terminal covers. - SC-69 "Japan-Only" New screen installed. Also includes original box, case and tweezers. - SC-21 Additional screen. - Original LX Everready Case. - Pentax logo 3rd party strap. I have some pictures of it. They were taken by the list member I bought it from some few months ago. Contact me privately if interested. K 50 1.2: In excellent plus condition. Glass unmarked, with just some minimal dust speks, no fungus or scratches. Smooth as butter aperture with unique K-series feeling. Lens barrel as new. A jewel. Both original caps. I'm interested in trading the LX and/or lens for Pentax AF stuff ( ZX/MZ 5n, ZX/MZ 3 or PZ/Z 1p, and AF zoom or prime lenses). Regards Albano - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

RE: TTL multiflash with METZ
Yes it is, but I think that if you put a ND filter on the front of a TTL flash the output will be regulated for giving the correct exposure (no contrast control), that´s the way the TTL goes, the camera read the exposure, is like if you were trying to underexposure a photo using a ND filter on the lens of the camera, autoexposure will compesate it. Yes contrast control works with the RTF and a external flash, but I think you´ll need the sincro cable. All the ways I think the better option is using main flash in ttl and slave one in AUTO.

Emilio, that's what I am asking about :) But of course with ND filters I mean using TWO flashes in ttl multiflash, one with no ND, the other with ND filter. The Metz brochure on the ND filters for their flashes seems to say (If I understand the German correctly) that you can get sort of "contrast control" effect by using ND filter on one of the two flashes only (which, in a way, makes sense). But I am not sure of it. Also, contrast control works only with one flash and the RTF, no? good light, Frantisek - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
