Re: Spotted on eBay

I saw one of these (or something very similiar) on the street recently. What I saw was certainly large enough to be more than 35mm format, and looked a lot more impressive than the picture suggests. If nothing else the owner/carrier looked the part - a bit like one of those French extreme sports p

RE: LX: testing a used one

As far as I know it goes like this; -if the batteries are dead, and the speed is shorter than 1/30 (?) the mirror will stay up as a "change your batteries" warning. - the same may happen in aperture-priority mode? And the exposure will change during exposure in aperture priority because the meter

Rare (?) lense

I was in Frankfurt recently and visited Foto-Brell. They have a screwmount Pentax 85mm designed for use with UV light. Anybody with time and a Leica monkey on their back might also visit Foto Hobby (about 300m up the street) who appear to have unlimited Leica gear, and parts, and original packagi

Shutter speed = focal length = no shake

Somebody once told me (I read?) that a useful rule of thumb to avoid camera-shake was to use a shutter speed greater than the focal length. My Digital Ixus has a focal length range of 5.4mm-10.8mm and I can get shake. Was the original advice true because of some fortunate relationship betwee

Short telephoto lense recommendations - And where to buy a (new) LX
