The problem I had with my DMD was that when I pushed down gently on the

Why not buy a use LX? Are there any brand new ones floating around here in

For you others that shoot with the Pentax 645:
A problem has come up with my Pentax 645 when used with the 75mm LS lens and
the 400T Pentax Flash.
Some frames show that the focal plane curtain is closing before the leaf
shutter closes. This happens more often when I shoot vertically. Since I

For "serious" shooting I can carry an LX, ESII, or 645. I like to carry
just one lens, a 35mm (or 55 for 645). I also pack a lens brush. Lens

For that million dollar shot, I carry a Yashica T4 loaded with color print
film. I also carry the Olympus XA that has Fuji Pr

I have an old Spiratone Teletach device that can convert a lens into a
telescope. This device was made for a Canon mount, however. But, I found a
Canon adapter that I can use with screw mount lenses on my T-90 Canon. I
can attach the Teletach to Canon breech lock mount. Works OK

Gary,
I got hooked on stereo photography after I saw an exhibit at a camera swap
meet in Kent, Washington in the early 1990's. I saw a Pentax Beam Spliter
device and viewer and tried it. The results were OK but had much to be
desired. You can only use the attachment on a 50mm lens. The viewer
I might be there. Except for two or three times, I have attended since it

Let me say it. I was dismayed when the K series came out. I got involved
with Pentax with the Honeywell Pentax H-3. Got a Spot and then the ES

M-42 Spots are, to me, the true Pentax classics.

Hi,
A lot of the group own the PZ-1p. What items for the this camera have some
of you acquired that make it easy, if that's the term, to use in everyday
shooting. I know I can't get an AA adapter for it like I got for my SF1n
camera. Some have mentioned a grip that make handling the PZ easier.
Canon made a manual focus 35mm shift lens that also the tilt feature. They
still make tilt and shift for their EOS line. The August, 2000 issue of
Popular Photography has a nice article about the pros and cons of such
expensive lenses.
