There's a list of repair facilities on Shel Belinkoff's site. Oakland
Photographic Repair is listed there. I know they do a good job on

Just a question. I am trying to build a battery grip for my PZ1-p

I have used the Lumiquest Soft Box (not the mini) on several weddings
and portraits with good success. It is relatively inexpensive (US
$25.00) and will fit on your flash (uses velcro). The other thing to
consider is the film. If you are not using portrait film, things may

I feel about the same. Both films are wonderful. I could use either

David,
I lean toward the hater side, I suppose. Actually, it is more that I
think it is a great film when the colors lose saturation (usually due
to diffused or low light), to bring things back to normal. What I
don't like is when it is used when the colors are already saturated
and punchy.

Alex,
The FDP grip is plastic and at least 2 piece, a moulded exterior and a
plastic bottom plate that fits against the camera bottom. 4 or 6 screws hold
this piece to the exterior.
I think the grip is thick enough for batteries and long enough too, covering
the entire bottom of the PZ-1p.

HOWEVERmost 3rd party manual focus lenses (with the PK-A/R mount) from

You can get the Agfa Portrait 160 for $3.99 CDN a roll at Henry's.
It's not a bad film for portraits, but I found the background color a bit
murky (maybe it's the extra grain I see).
The Fuji NPS, while not as nice for portraits, has much better overall
performance. At $5.50 CDN it's pretty

This was official information from Pentax service. Mostly camera will work, but from
time to time there would be malfunctions. I believe this information, because Pentax

It indicates your LX haven't been serviced for quite some time and need an
