Re: Kodak B&W Print Film, 400 Speed, C-41

I have used both of Kodaks C-41 B&W Print Films as well as Ilford XP2 Super. The XP2 Super is very easy to scan, because the film material is light gray and the Kodaks are orange (my Epson 1630SU has some problems with the Kodaks, my Minolta Scan Elite II is very good with them, and you can use IC

43 Limited Lens Hood

After getting my 77 mm Limited I got the 43 mm Limited some days ago. Its superb. But one issue remains open. The 43 mm has a screw-in lens hood. How can I use the lens hood (and lens cap which fits on the lens hood only) with filters? I have tried it with an B+W 81B and with an B+W Polarizer (fi

Re: M 4/20mm quality

I have both the M 4/20mm and the FA* 2/24 mm. In a comparision of these lenses for nature photography I can say that the distortion of the 20 is definitly larger than of the 24. Concerning sharpness, between f5.6 and f16 the 24 is sharper, but this does not mean that the 20 is not sharp. For land

I recognized the same one week ago after the first roll in my new MZ-3. The negatives are 2 mm larger in both directons compared with my LX. Regards Bernd Shel Belinkoff wrote: I hate to be so negative, but this morning I learned that Rolleiflex TLR negatives are larger than Hasselblad

AF500FTZ and TTL

Is the AF500FTZ flash together with a MZ-3 or Z-1 capable of TTL flash together with ambient light measuring and the flash set to -1 stop? E.g. measuring without flash f11 and 1/15 sec, exactly that is used with flash as fill-in but the flash downrated by 1 stop. Regards Bernd - This message is

Re: Shel asks about 24mm f2

Hi Shel, I own the FA* 2,0/24. It is my favorite lens for landscape photography. Stopped down to f16 the lens is extremly sharp with a very good colour rendition. For the first look, the 67mm filter looks a little bit large, but you can use normal (not slim) polarizers together with a warming fil
