William,
On my recent Hawaii trip, I took two kits. The 35mm kit had MZ-S,
Tokina 20-35/2.8, Tokina 28-70/2.8, Tokina 80-200/2.8, FA 100 Macro
and FA 43 Limited.
The 67 Kit had 67II, 55/4, 90/2.8, 165/2.8 and
Extension Tubeset. Granted, the 35mm kit had much better focal length
coverage, but i
Good suggestions. Also, Brendan, you might try working with B&W film,

Hi all,
Today I picked up my film from the "other half" of my 300mm lens

From studying the slides using a 10x loupe I've found that the

There's not a huge amount of difference but it is noticeable on the

A monopod is a stick, a tripod is three sticks, so a tripod is three times
as good as a monopod. However, one stick is better than no sticks.
My findings are that a monopod allows you to shoot at 2-3 stops slower
shutter speed. That is invaluable if you are using slow film, or long
lenses.

Good luck in your search. If you do go the Pentax 67 route, the 55

I use a Bogen/Manfrotto 3229 head on my monopod. It is low profile,

Peter,
I use monopods quite extensively. The two place they can be of great

I want to buy the Pentax FA 3,4-4,5 / 24-90 AL(IF) or the Tamron
3,5-4,5/24-135 for my MZ-S. Which one has the better optical and / or
mechanical quality ? Does everyone have experiences with one of these
lenses? Thank you for any comments about them.

I had the "pinhole" problem when developing the old Panatomic-X. As a
result, I have only used a water rinse, I fill, invert twice and dump.
