Re: Pentax - [small] size matters?

I have fairly average sized hands (maybe a bit on the smaller side) and the feel of the early M/ZX bodies (the 50 and the 10) were good, although a little small and fairly plasticky. They were better feeling than the C the N or the M** equivilant. With the FG battery pack on my ZX-50

Anyone interested in these? Chinon K-mount 50/1.9 lens; takes 49mm filters. It seems to function perfectly. Excellent cosmetically. Spiratone viewfinder magnifier -- slips into slots on viewfinder. Fits okay on Spotmatic, but the frame has been fiddled with in someone's clumsy effort to make

I do my BW contact sheets digitally. I scan them on an Agfa Duoscan 2500 T we have at work and print them on an Epson 1200. Just fine for contacts. But my experiments with printing digital BW photos have been just so-so. The darkroom is still the best place for that. I have had good success scanni

Hi, Paul, You're right. Last month was a case in point. Three or four people had my image on their list of images to comment upon, yet I didn't see one comment. It was disappointing, because that particular photo is a favourite of mine, and I was anxious to see what others on this list thought
