Hi Bruce ...
Nice shot! How many kids do you have - 3?
As nice as the shot is, it's only marginally helpful since it's done on
chromogenic B&W. I'm really interested in seeing scans made on regular
B&W neg film. Gedfrey's got a few on the Minolta test pages I posted
earlier.

Hi Bruce ...
I found a site with some scans made with the Minolta. In case you're
interested:

The scanner is looking better and better as an entry level unit.
I'm going to look at your PUG entry now. Yeah, you should have

Parts from Pentax are usually very reasonable priced. However, labour could
cost much more. If only the top plate and the button were damaged, it would
be easy to fix. However, if the structured were distorted, the camera was
doomed.

Don't forget that you are scanning a 1 X 1.5 inch piece of film.

Stop and think - you are scanning a film frame at 2800 ppi (or 4000 ppi), but when
enlarged to print size will be much less that 2800 dpi but more like 360 dpi for an
8x10" print.
Though printers are rated as printing at 1440 or 2880 dpi, the maximum accepted input
to my knowledge is 720 ppi,

If you want a good Pentax flash, look around for an AF280T. It is TTL compatible, but
it also has two autoflash ranges, bounce and swivel. I picked one up from KEH for $50

so. Another good buy at

I use the LS-1000 on a daily basis here at the paper
that I work at. It is a good scanner, slow for my

Hi Gabriel:
I am going to tell you the method I have used to clean slightly dirty
focusing screens, with success. Disclaimer: Don't do this if you are a
faint-hearted person. Try it first, if possible, in an old focusing
screen, to acquire some practice.
Dismount the focusing screen of your MZ-S.
The lens most likely was made to work as an autofocus lens with a very
specific camera . . . I forgot the model offhand (ME-F?), but know it's
mentioned on Boz's site.
This was Pentax's rush into autofocus, and placed the motor in the lens
instead of in the camera body . . .

Well: sort of correct...
Both bodies were new. Both prisms were new.
I paid list for a warranty on one Pentax body, and had not got round to

Well, as long as you have c
Raymond,
Do I understand you correctly - if there was a problem with the second
67II that you bought, knowing it may be damaged, you'd submit it for

what happened (he dropped it 3 ft onto a carpet)
are there any cracks (no)
does it rattle (no)
can he dry fire it (yes, sounded 'on time')
when he mounts the prism, does he get a clean fit (yes)

I may as well ask this question now. Nate and I are going to need
someone to shoot our wedding, and who better to ask first than
friendly PDML-ers? :) The wedding will be in Southold, NY, on Long

We're looking for someone who can do both B&W and color.
