Hello charlesmingma, ... I may be in error, but I don't think that the manual focus zoom lenses have any variation built-into the f-stop mechanism as a...
Many thanks, xkaes and Tom! I think I just stay with my constant aperture zoom lenses for my slide shooting then. My only non-constant aperture zoom, Kiron...
Thanks again for the responses to my previous question regarding zoom lens. Here I am again hoping to get some comments on using lithium battery in X700 or XD...
Good morning, Charles; In my use of lithium-ion batteries in my headlamps in cold weather for SAR application, they did seem to keep the light working longer...

Good morning, Andrea Apra; You are right. There are several different lithium battery chemistries. Recalling, I was thinking also about the lithium-ion ...
Many thanks for your responses, xkaes/Ralph/Andrea. I agree SRTs can save the day in the winter time. I actually have a couple of SRT102 that I often take on...

I'm not trying to gloat, but I just picked up a black SRT 102 with mirror lock up (the rare variety) on EBAY for $20. The shutter and meter work perfectly, and...
