Aperture on FA 24mm f2 jumping between 2.0 and 2.5???!!!

2003-09-04 Thread Frank Wajer

This is due to the loose manufacturing tolerance of Pentax cameras lenses. My F*300/4.5 FA100/2.8 with Z-1p do the same thing too. The good news is, the displayed valued in the viewfinder is only a shown value, and does not affect the metering or exposure accuracy. Alan Chan

Hi Herb, I had the original scan (24Mb TIFF, 2700 dpi) on a CD, and cut three areas of 800x600 from that (550Kb each): http://www.dfsee.com/gallery/abandoned-center-2700dpi.jpg http://www.dfsee.com/gallery/abandoned-upper-left-2700dpi.jpg
