Funny you should mention that. The last wedding I shot - last

That would be my guess. The likely use is for portraits in sunlight

I can only guess. So here goes:
I haven't seen any leaf shutter lenses in the range of f/1.2 or f/1.4.
Could be design difficulties, perhaps?
There'd still have to be a sort of focal plane shutter and mirror
arrangement, like the hasselblad, because you'd have to have at least one
shutter closed

The site is due for a tart-up soon - I know.
Unfortunately I will have to stop reading the digests in order to make time
to do this. :(

Ron,
I've got to reply to this. Bear in mind that for quite awhile I owned
and heavily used 2 PZ-1p's and like them very much. I now own 2
MZ-S's.

Yes, Peter, the hood is brand new. It was one of three new ones for sale on US EBay

Fred,
Which brings me to the question, does anyone know, what may be the
reason for not making leaf shutter lenses for 35mm SLRs, like they have
for P-6x7 (and almost everything 6x6)? That would bring sync speed to
the *really* nice 1/1000!

Kodak made some world class lenses over the years and I'm sure they have ample
resourses to do so again.
I have a 100mm "luminized" (single coated) Ektar on my 3x4 Speed Graphic and it's a
truly fabulous lens.

No. It was just a figure of style. At its best, 35mm film can be

I also got that impression from the posting. It seemed as if

Think of Olympus position this way. Canon and Nikon
are stuck with their 24x36 platforms because of their
huge user base while Olympus has been phasing out for
years. Olympus does a little research and finds that
it is difficult to produce 24x36 CCD or CMOS sensors
even given significant evolution
Hi Ken ...
I've wondered about that recently. I used to work very hard to maintain
constant temperature across the entire process, but a couple of years
ago, in an Ilford or Kodak instruction sheet, or in one of kodak's photo
guides, it was clearly stated that as long as the stop, fix, and rins

I prefer to use dark brown glass bottles for my stock solution of

photo jugs that you can buy in any decent photo shop. HOWEVER - BIG

Rob,
By the same token, because one has spent tons of cash for 55mm 67 lens,
there's no reason to make 35mm cameras where 50/2 often comes for free
;)
Besides, the 35mm equivalent of 67 55mm lens is what, roughly 24mm?
There are tons of those available for fraction of what one has to spend

If you have enough DOF, bokeh is not an issue.
When you say "an order of magnitude", do you mean that you can enlarge 35mm
ten times larger than a digital image?
