Re: T400CN Discontinued?? I don't think so...
T400CN has been changed to BW Select available at any wal mart. - Original Message - From: Brian Campbell (PM) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2001 12:54 AM Subject: T400CN Discontinued?? I don't think so... Hey guys, I just checked out the Kodak website to try to confirm the rumors that T400cn is discontinued, but nothing's there... Where did you get this info? Sure the Portra 400 film is listed as well, but this is listed as for printing on professional color negative papers while T400CN is listed as for printing either on black-and-white papers or color negative papers. I can see that T400CN is disappearing off the normal consumer and retail outlets, but there's still a very large stock of it in the professional labs and pro-houses in Vancouver. I just bought 40 rolls in 120 and 20 rolls in 35mm two weeks ago at my local lab, and they still have a good stock. Anyone have any definative words on this being discontinued?

Scanners-thinking of a new one
I want to get a scanner that I can use to scan negatives or slides. Will they all do this or is there a certain model I should look for? My school has a nAgfa with all kinds of inserts for different size films but it cost $2500. I am looking for a home model that won't cause me to have to mortgage my house. Will the cheap USB ones work for negatives or do I need a better one? - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.

Re: BW Developers-Grain differences
Not sure about the enlarger types, I have a Durst 606 at home, the school has besselers, they are huge and have bellows that the negative carrier goes into, they are brand new,I am not sure of the model number. - Original Message - From: William Robb [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 27, 2001 1:00 AM Subject: Re: BW Developers-Grain differences - Original Message - From: RH Subject: BW Developers-Grain differences Hi all, I have a question for all of you B/W chemical experts. I am printing pictures at home and at school using enlargers both with 50mm lenses. At home I use ilford universal paper developer and at school they use some kind of kodak developer. Now,I printed some pictures at home of the same negative I used at school and there is noticeably more grain in the picture. Will different developers do this? Is ilford a large grain developer or something? Could it have anything to do with the enlarger, at school I have a much larger one, but when focused on my 8x10 paper, both my one at home and the one at school are roughly the same height off of the paper. I doubt if the developer/paper combination would cause this. You didn't mention if you are using the same paper at home as at school. There are a couple of other things more likely. First, are both enlargers the same type of light source? A diffuser source will show less apparent granularity than a condensor source, all else being relatively equal. Also, you could also have a much better lens at home than what the school has. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Albinar Lens on a ZX-7?
Hi all, I have a 28mm wide angle lens by Albinar,it is a manual everything. I am trying to use it on a ZX7 but the light meter seems to not work correctly with the lens installed. Is this one incompatible with the ZX7? It is a K mount lens. When I put it on there,I set it to F/2.8, aim it at a light and don't get a normal exposure reading on the meter until I do a 3 second exposure. What's up? - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.

Re: Can someone help a newbie with a ZX7 please?
Another question,since it doesn't show the aperture in the viewfinder,it is almost completely dark,it seems stuck on f/22 and never adjusts so I can see through the viewfinder. - Original Message - From: Brendan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 20, 2001 6:22 PM Subject: Re: Can someone help a newbie with a ZX7 please? Guess what, That A setting is the Auto Aperture setting. If you set the Lens to A the camera will auto set the Aperture, if it can. Your old lenses are to be used the same way as you did on the K-1000, focus manually and if you want set the aperture yourself you may using the ring. When You set the Ring to A you will not see it turn the camera adjusts it electronically so it makes the settting during exposure, itt will display the aperture it wants to use in the viner, when set to any setting off A it will not show the Aperture reading in the finder. Stick those lenses on , get a roll of cheap film and shoot to get used to how it works on the new camera. --- RH [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I am the new owner of a ZX7 but I have a bunch of lenses from my old K1000 (non auto).

Re: Can someone help a newbie with a ZX7 please?
It is made by Albinar?? I just tried my vivitar 50mm with no A on the aperture ring and aimed it at hte same light and got 5 stopes overexposed at the same settings so it is the 28mm lens I think, it is even hard to get off,seems like you have to unclick it from the mount twice before it actually comes off. Oh well, anyone know where to get a good 28mm lens cheap for the ZX7? - Original Message - From: Brendan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2001 12:27 AM Subject: Re: Can someone help a newbie with a ZX7 please? Who makes that 28mm lens? some PKR lenses don't fit right on AF bodies, it sounds like this is a Vitar PKR lens, if this is the case it sounds like you may not be able to use that lens. The problem is the AF shaft and power zoom contact points jam on the extra ricoh pin on some not fully compatible K mount lenses. --- RH [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Another question,since it doesn't show the aperture in the viewfinder,it is almost completely dark,it seems stuck on f/22 and never adjusts so I can see through the viewfinder. - Original Message - From: Brendan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 20, 2001 6:22 PM Subject: Re: Can someone help a newbie with a ZX7 please?
