Re: One airline bans all carry-on luggage
The point is: Does security people know that a well trained person (man or woman) can kill another with his/hers hands? They do NOT need a knife for that purpose. What's next ? If you know karate you have to travel by train or ship ? ;-) What do you think if the next terrorist has steel shoe laces?

Re: Film rewind with memory (WAS: Photo Expo Japan 2001 - MZ-S and FA31Ltd)
Ok, Peter, I didnt want to push you to use this method. I thought that it was easier and economic than having something making holes or burning the film. The approach to write the number of roll instead of the frame, works better if you use 18 frames of a roll and 20 days pass until your next shooting session. You can also loose the notebook paper where you wrote down the frame numbers. You don't have to remember nothing. You take the roll and look at the number wrote in the canister. You dial that memory and the camera goes automatically to the appropiate frame. The reset function works when you want to develop the roll in the middle of it and use the memory for another roll.

Re: Film rewind with memory (WAS: Photo Expo Japan 2001 - MZ-S and FA31Ltd)
Another approach would be to have say n memories where the camera would store the number of frames already shot for n rolls. All you have to do is write down in the roll what memory goes with that roll. Example Memory #1: 23 frames shot Memory #2: 8 frames shot .. Memory #n: 15 frames shot When you change the roll you dial the number of the corresponding memory, and voila, the camera winds to that frame plus 1. What do you think?

Its equally simple to dial in frame number (like Minolta and apparently the MZ-S works) as roll number. With this frame number system you can switch between as many roll as you like.

Re: Film rewind with memory (WAS: Photo Expo Japan 2001 - MZ-S and FA31Ltd)
Pål wrote: "The MZ-S do number every roll of film up to 200 and then start at one again. Theoretically it could remember 200 rolls of film. All the camera need to know is how many frame is shot on each roll. This doesn't need to take much memory (it could eg. discard all rolls that have shot 36 frames). " My question: But what happens to the 12 or 24 frames rolls?? Does the camera know how to diferentiate each one (12, 24 or 36 frames)? Martin - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Ok, here I go again. There is a file in c:\windows named USER.ACL. This file contains all the items you want to correct.

Re: IF button on PZ-1p
Tiger, go to the page 46 of the manual. It returns the camera to the Hyper Programmed AE Mode. If you are in Hyper Manual, depresing IF gives you the correct exposure.

Re: Spotmatic batteries
Hi, Wieland. I also have a SP500 and the same problem with the batteries for it. I don't know if there is a replace for the mercuric oxide that use for them. I'm not using the camera now, but I used to buy Varta V400PX 1.35 V (made in Germany) and the Energizer E400N 1.3 V (made in USA). Maybe someone can point if a similar battery with the same voltage would work. Hope this helps Martin -Original Message- From: Wieland Willker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Pentax-list-NEW <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tuesday, January 23, 2001 10:27 AM Subject: Spotmatic batteries >I have just found out an interesting bit about the Spotmatics and that is that it uses >Mercury batteries (e.g. PX625), which are not produced anymore (at least not in Germany). >It is therefore quite difficult to get those batteries and keep the Spotmatic working.
