this "Mountain View Morning Day 2". Instead it's just "Another Day".

My macros have an external hood. In the case of the Phoenix 100mm/f3.5,
even with a
well-recessed front element, such a thing seems justified. For the SMC
lenses, it can't hurt
and it can help and if I dump the lens, theres something on the front to
take impact and
mebbe keep it working well f

Yup, cheap rubbert hoods for those that didn't come with something.
Unlike some others, I keep my hoods mounted. And for the most part,
my hoods work somewhat or nicely with caps. I won't swap hoods to save
space in a camera bag. Those who differ with me probably have systems that

I've shot quite a bit of IR with my *istD and Hoya R72 filters. I shoot auto
white balance and convert to BW in Photoshop using the channel mixer. I use
just a small amount of blue and green channel, less than 10%, and a lot of red
channel. This shot was with the DA 12-24 and an R72 filter. It's
My expectation (hope) is that on long lenses, USM will be significantly
faster. On short lenses I don't need or expect much difference.
I really don't see the point of USM on short lenses (because they focus
fast enough), and I don't see the point on long lenses if it doesn't yield
a speed
What is the general opinion on the Pentax-M 28-50/3.5-4.5 zoom, please?

If you can call
The advantage I do see to using in-lens servos on every lens is that
it helps minimizes the number of mechanical couplings from lens to
body. I don't know about anyone else's experience, but I know from my
own that I've never once had a problem with an electrical coupling
from lens to body,
Spotmatics have the model name listed on the top plate.

I can use the meter prism, but it's a bit of an unknown. I thought this
could give me better control, considering slide film's narrow range. I'm

Yes, on the left side of the prism on my Spotmatic SP.
