ME Super - almost enabled

Hi, I've told you few days ago about a ME Super with a locked mirror (and thanks for your answers!). Well... now it's mine! Of course, it doesn't work... so I can't use it right now. The mirror unlocked (maybe because I've put new batteries? :) ), however the foam... wait a minute... in fact,

Mirror cleaning

Hi there... Here I am again, quite sad this time... I don't know why, but I *had* to look my *new* ME Super to the wrong person. Of course, she thought the camera is *empty* so she stick a finger inside. Now there is a huge fingerprint, right on the mirror :sad grin: Can it be cleaned? It seems it

ME Super with sticky mirror

Hi! I saw today, in a sh camera store, this beautifull ME Super... unfortunatelly it has a little problem: after the shutter fires, the mirror won't come down (not even after a *very* gentle touch). Also the mirror foam looks quite bad, I think it should be changed. Otherwise, the camera seems to

Re: What, no *ist-Ds messages?

Come on, people! The *ist-DS is the digital version of the MZ-6! But, unlike the MZ-6, it has a good viewfinder... (that's my main compliant regarding MZ-6) Now I hate Pentax; they really wants to take my money :( In fact, I don't think I'll buy the *ist-DS (I don't want to switch to digital

DA 18-55 f/3.5-5.6

Ok, this is a zoom. In fact, is a cheap kit zoom. I won't buy it, you won't buy it... so we may as well ignore it's existance. But... it has the quick-shift focus system - which means, imho, that every Pentax lens from now on will also have this important (at least for me) feature. Good news,

To ME or not to ME

Hi, there. So, I'm looking for a nice, manual camera (an upgrade from my MZ-6). And... what I saw? A ME, waiting for me! :-) I just can't decide if it's the best camera I could buy. And I'm asking your help on this matter... What is your impression about this camera? Do you think I should buy

That's exactly the reason I'd like to upgrade my MZ-6 with a nice, heavy-metal style camera. OTOH, the viewfinder is imho it's only (major) fault. Well, it's a cheap camera... Alex Sarbu --- Simon King [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi James, When I only had a Program A I thought I needed AF. This

Re: *istD firmware wishlist (open letter?)

Yes, that seems the best solution imho. In fact, you don't really need that 'h' letter - because the ISO starts from 200, so you can have 2,4,8,16 and 32. But the 'h' can tell you if you're looking at the remaining picture indicator or at the ISO setting. Alex Sarbu --- Anders Hultman [EMAIL

Re: canon vs pentax

I think we also agree that dropping M42 mount was the right choice for Pentax. The bayonet mount is much easier (faster) to use, imo. And I'm not sure you can make M42 AF lensesbodies... Alex Sarbu --- William Robb [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Actually, the M42 mount was smaller and harder to

Hmmm... maybe you can just reinstall the OS? Boot from a win98 CD and choose to install in the same location - don't format the drive. Make that drive the primary master, to be sure it will be the C: drive on your system (you'll be able to use your old win95 drive as D:, but of course you can't

Back in Dublin film vs. digital (OT?)

Hi, there! Yup, I'm back in Dublin - I'll be here for 12 days. The first time I was very busy, so now I'll try to seeshoot more (I'd like to thank Gianfranco, Lasse and Rob for their advices!). Nice town, nice people - however, I hate their food. Too sweet, too much mayonnaise... I've also tried
