... I did test the Soligor with the 18-70mm and also, earlier on, with the Sigma 18-125mm. It was best on the Sigma. Here is what happens with the 18-70mm: ...
Hi all, I have been toying with the idea of doing some Medium Format shooting. I am out and about with tour groups around Ireland and would like to try...
... It may well be but since the PCT-100 was available as long ago as 2001, it seems odd that Sony would have taken this long to get production up and running....
Is this thing better than radio control? One is untethered with radio - no snarling or tripping over cords. Radio controls are cheap and can fire strobes...
I have a Minolta Autocord available. Serial Number 196795. Lens is a 75mm 3.5 Chiyoko Rokkor serial 2400957. Viewing lens is a View-Rokkor 3.2 75mm. Camera is...

BlankI just got a Maxxum 5 that had a finger push some shutter blades out of place. This is a typical vertical metal leaf shutter. The blades are not wrinkled,...
Still too much darkening of the corners. What exactly was better on the 18-125? Maybe there's a chance for less vignetting because it's mounted without an...
... Hello, Chuck! When you remove the lens and lift the mirror you can see the "inside" of the shutter blades. By using your thumb and index finger on one hand...
... Is that something that can be done is PS CS2 - or some jpeg2000 flavor - I don't see any advanced options like you describe. The lab I've been using,...
... I had one - the lens was amazing - but didn't care for the angle of view (for what I wanted to shoot at the time with it) - if I were to get another twin...
... The Yashica MAT 124G is a decent choice for a TLR also, and has a meter. I like the Rollei-like controls better than the Autocord's. Why not just get a 4x5...
Brian, Thanks for the offer, but the price you are requesting is kinda my point. I can buy a Bronica 645 (with 75mm lens, prism finder & 120 film back for a...
SFAIK I've never had an Autocord in my hand, but I own 2 Rolleis (Flex & Cord) + Bronica SQ's. I've owned the Rolleiflex F/3.5, new when I was in the USArmy in...
David, Have you considered getting one that needs work from ebay and attempting the repair yourself? This is what I did. Item # 280120107640 is the same model ...

Guys, I noticed something odd with my 18-70mm Minolta lens yesterday on my 7D. The focus goes past infinity when manually focusing it? It does this on two 7D...
It was designed that way. Check the instruction manual for both the 18-70mm and 11-18mm DT lenses: 'The focusing mechanism turns slightly past the [sic]...
Thanks for the info... I tend to agree with your idea of it was a cost saver... Never heard of this in a lens with this focal range before. It sure can be a...
The 50mm f/2.8 Macro D is another one that doesn't lock on infinity. Maybe there's a good reason for that, since it has kind of an oddball focusing mechanism....
... You quoted the real reason above. Operating temperatures do indeed affect focus position since both glass and mount materials have expansion related to...
