How do you hold a camera with hands that small?

Norm

I have a P30t - it's pretty small.  You're right though, my hands are
fairly small; I've only met one other adult with smaller hands.  Might
make for some interesting photos, I'll see if I can't think hard and
make something artsy.  'course, I might just burn out a few brain

Don't know about them, but by the time I go, I plan on even my K10D
being *thoroughly* obsolete.


"obsolete" is in the eyes of the beholder.  I'm sure you'd consider my
camera obsolete, but it still takes pictures and I even like some of
them. :oP

I cannot tell a lie. I have 2 MXen, one of which is an original purchase
from new in 1979. It has a 28mm 2.8 attached (purchased with the camera
- I never bought a 50 mm). They sit on a shelf, proud. I wish to be

Actually, I think I'd prefer the guy in the pink shirt a few pictures
down.  I thought you were on a three day horse show? Am I getting you
guys all mixed up...?

Apparently it's almost impossible to a get a mug shot of me unless I pose.
All I can see is my nose in these pictures.  Oh well.  I still
maintain that I have no need to be funny just so I can be the comic
relief around here.

Well not routinely. Just when I'm waiting for someone, bored , have a

Sorry, but Rule 17a, subsection c of the Official Unwritten PDML
handbook clearly states that in order to qualify for Comic Relief
status, you have to be funny.

Sorry Doug, you forgot to read the footnote at the bottom of the page,
and I quote:

"*If the applicant is both young and extremely attractive, his/her
beauty may usurp this rule"

I have no need for funny, I'm just darn gorgeous.  :oP

However, you failed to read Rule 23c, subsection w, article 32.4,

I thought that for a person to qualify for Comic Relief the Prime
Minister (or President) had to declare as state of comic disaster?

What is it about the MX and burials?  Some time ago I seem to recall Cotty 
saying much the same thing.

(I can understand being buried with a silver one but a black one is going to be 
hard to find)

But since you asked, my MX is a fairly cherry black one, and I have three

I have a super program thats gathering dust.:-)

I also drag my SP500 out now and again, as well as the 6x7, mostly in
North Carolina or Saskatchewan. Those are the only two places big
enough for it.:-)

Re: Just Bought a KX

[John Francis]

I'd agree with those recommendations.

I started out with a Spotmatic II, but would have much preferred
a Spotmatic F; open-aperture metering is a very nice feature.

I never had any of the earlier K mounts; I started with an MX
(which I still have).  In the intervening years I've owned an ME
(too automatic), an ME Super, a Super Program, a PZ-1p and an MZ-S.
About the only one of those that I wouldn't recommend for all-around
photography is the ME - the rest are all classics in their own way:

  MXSmall, simple, full manual camera
(capable of 5fps with the optional motor drive!)

  ME Super  Last of the cameras that work without batteries

  Super Program The high point of the manual focus bodies

  PZ-1p 4.3fps, 1/8000 shutter speed; excellent for flash.
Introduced the two-wheel hyper program interface
that was also used in the *ist-D and K10D.

  MZ-S  The last, and best, of the MZ bodies.

Brian,

Thank you for the advice.  I will certainly keep the Spotmatic F in  
mind.  It sounds like you like your Pentax cameras.  I have been on  
the list only about a day, but I have been somewhat surprised by the  
amount of talk about Canons and Nikons.

Re: Just Bought a KX

[Brian Walters]

The Super A is great - definitely my favourite among the MF Pentax, although 
I've never handled an LX.

I don't have any experience with the SP 500 or SP1000 but I wouldn't rule out 
the Spotmatic F.  It was the last of the screw mount  series and the most 
capable in that it offered open aperture metering with Super Multi Coated 
Takumars and SMC Takumars.  With other Takumars and other branded screw mount 
lenses you get the usual stop down metering.

Re: Just Bought a KX

I would like a Pentax A-Series (Super-A/Super Program) and a  
screwmount, perhaps an SP500 or SP1000.  As you may deduce, I prefer  
older, manual-focus cameras.  In my view, today's cameras are  
somewhat bland (and rather plasticky).

Thank you for the welcome.  Yes, those were the days.  Even my  
brother's AE-1 was more interesting (and built better) than the  
cameras of today.  I plan on shooting a fair amount of B&W with the  
KX, too.  How you like your SP500?  I am thinking of getting a screw

One thing tricky about the KX is that you have to
pull out the film advance partially to turn on the
meter. Many people mistake the camera has a dead meter
if they dont know that because the batttery check will
work even without pulling out the film advance partially.

Glen,

You'll love the KX. It's built like a tank. I always thought it could serve 
as a hammer in an emergency ;-)

You can download a free PDF copy of the manual at

http://www.pentaximaging.com/files/manual/KX.pdf

You should also be able to get an actual manual at

http://www.craigcamera.com/default.htm

Welcome and enjoy.

Re: Just Bought a KX

[Brian Walters]

Hi Glen. Welcome.

If the KX is in the condition advertised, you'll enjoy it.  I drag mine out 
occasionally - it's one of the few film cameras I still use.

Manuals come up from time to time on EBay but you need to keep watching - they 
aren't all that common.


Cheers

Brian
