Hello everybody, I was recently given a Revue ML. The camera seems to be in working order, but the battery cover is missing. It would be great if anyone with...
Sorry, Neal, that it took me so long to answer your questions. But I tried several times and had problems to get through with my messages. In the meantime I...
Absolutely, the pre-AI 1.8/85mm is a great lens and delivers sharp, colourful images with nice bokeh. My impression is that most people who have the pleasure...
Werner That is probably true. I tried one years ago and eventually bought one off ebay last year. The best part is, if you look carefully... sometimes you will...
I am an M42 enthusiast. I teach Photoshop and write books and articles mostly about digital imaging. I will be writing an article for a well-known photography...
You're right Kelvin, from time to time converted 1.8/85mm Nikkors do show up on the market, but mine is non-AI. That's why I can't use it neither on my FM2n...
My 1.8 85mm Nikkor is one of the early non-AI ones with the lens data in the inside of the lens ring next to the glass, and I really love the lens. It's my...
Jim, any manual focus nikon lens can be used on a Canon eos 350D! Bart. ... From: Jim Thomas/Debbie Thomas To: ClubM42@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, December...
Bart, I know! It's hard to justify a second DSLR at the moment though. Still waiting for the price to drop a little more... Jim ... [Non-text portions of...
I have a 85mm non-AI one now. It is very close to the 105mm f/2.5 AIS in performance, as in very sharp stopped to f/2.8. I also tried the 135mm Q-auto f/2.8...
Werner, I don't know if you know this... but the pre-AI lenses will work on the older Nikon FM in stop-down mode. The AI tab just swings out of the way! 2a....
Thanks for the info Kelvin, yes, I know: FM and FE work with pre-AI in stop-down mode. Unfortunately I have none of these models; my FM-series cameras are ...
Hello, just got this lens this week. This one is pure toy. I enjoy it a lot. Few test, first shooting here : http://www.flickr.com/photos/14726820@N06/ ...
I am selling a significant collection of Rollei & Voigtlander 35mm cameras, lenses and accessories, including very desirable Voigtlander VSL M42 Screw Mount...
Hello! I am not a guru, but I am trying something similar at the moment. There is an adapter in eBay for about $150... but I would like try making something by...
Retina/EOS is not an easy adapter to make . In that sense, I think $150 is a very fair price for all that precision machining. The most difficult thing you...
Howdy Gang, I have a question about the Helios-44 58mm lens. I searched the archives and did not find the answer I was seeking. From reading your posts I...
They're all good, but really start "sharpening" up around mk.4 with multicoating and a re- design. The best ones are mk7 and mk8. Mk6 is not bad . If you want...
I forgot to add...if you have any question please don't hesitate to ask! I have studied russian optics up and down. I tried to keep it short for the sake of...
(In reply/trimmed) - The Biotar formula has more elements and is a more complex lens, designed originally up-market from the Sonnar variants like the...
(In reply) - I have 3 working Kiev-10's with the Automat lenses, even the 20mm. Also a couple of Zenit-C and Zenit-3M with Industar-50's and Helios 44's, and...
The Biotar formula has more elements and is a ... Uhhh...the industar is not a sonnar design, it is a tessar design. The tessar/industar has 4 element in 3...
(In reply) - My error - the Tessar is the lower-end model - got Sonnar on the brain because of the Kiev-10 lenses. I have the f/1.7 Zenitar, along with the...
I have been reading as much as I can about these popular DSLRs in order to make the right choice. There is a lot of info to be found, but I'm interested mainly...
Vincent, while I cannot compare 400D and E510, i do use a lot of M42 lenses on my EOS 350D as well as other adapted lenses, notably a Pentacon 300/4 and...
I don't have the Olympus so I can not compare directly. What I can tell you is that I am very happy with the 400D although I also have a 5D. The antidust...
