I have chrome copies with 43* serial numbers and a black with 44*. Both have
Pentax on the face of the camera above the lens mount and a small Asahi
engraved on the sloping front portion of the pentaprism. Film holders are
rectangular with Asahi Pentax embossed in the plastic at the bottom.
Since I've had a need to know the metering patterns
for the MX and theLX, and put them up on a web page,
it might be nice to get the metering patterns for
other models as well. So, send me a good copy of a
pattern, or a pointer to a metering pattern, and I'll
make a home for them.

Maybe it is the onset of winter in the Northern hemisphere .
Now for the warm fuzzy:
I'm sure this can't be correct about the models.
All three of my MXes have Asahi Pentax engraved on the pentaprism and the
AOC logo. None of them have anything stamped onto the rear of the top plate
below the film advance lever. (my K1000 does)
The Chromes are numbers 410 and 413. The b

Since the same affect is seen in film viewfinders I'd say that is correct.
I'll make the assumption that most of these camera lenses are probably
varifocal instead of true zoom. Have you tried to see if you can focus it

You are right in thinking it came from "Morris Garages" (the Morris

Something I've been meaning to mention for a while, and that is the that
sound of the LX shutter, or, perhaps more precisely, the sound an LX

It may be a difference in the stop down spring mechanism between
various lenses that causes a difference in the sound you hear.
The lens has to go from wide open to whatever aperture you or
the camera has selected for the exposure and I would guess that
there are enough differences between lenses

Hi,
in short, they gave it a 3/3 star rating. Otherwise, it got 5/10 at 28, 7/10
at 50, 5/10 at 90 and again 5/10 at 105mm. Distortion was at around
1% barrel at the 28 and around 0,5% pincushion at longer settings. All
in all, they tested it a little under 3,5-4,5/24-90, for what it is worth.

I just got my Pentax Extension Tube Set B from KEH and have been
playing around with them on my 50mm f/2 SMC-A and 135mm f/3.5
SMC-M lenses. I can get to around 1/2 life size with the 135mm lens
and have over a foot of working room between the front of the lens
and the subject. I can get 1:1 l
using a camera with ttl flash is the easiest way to get good results

I didn't follow your math too closely, but I will give you the
correct formulae for figuring the extension factor as applied to
LF cameras.
First, compute the image magnification (M) by dividing the lens
to subject distance into the lens to film distance, measuring
from the lens aperture position
PhotoShop can help get the red out LOL
Cotty, did you scan from prints or negatives?
and what equipment do you use??

Hi:
Sorry to bother the list about this, but I need Doug Brewer's

I want to echo the "thanks" with which you have been showered Bill! You have
been remarkably patient with us and conscientious in your stewardship of
this community resource. Enjoy your (temporary) respite; I am sure that we
will find you volunteering for something else before too long.

For a shutter repair (but not replacement) plus new leatherette, adjustment
of the electronics, and general cleaning I paid Pentax USA $145 this last
spring.
