Hello out there: came in through Kim´s Fujica site. A few days ago i just completed my Fujica M42 collection with very nice ST 605 II. To my surprise this...
I just got a 200mm vivitar lens, and as I was attaching it to my camera and dry-firing with it, I couldn't help but wonder--how the heck do you guys deal with...
Kitty: I like big heavy cameras! A 200mm Vivitar lens isn't among the heaviest lenses out there. Not to sound demeaning but, I'd suggest holding the camera...
(In reply) - If yours is the 200mm Vivitar f/3.5 with the built-in sliding lens hood, that's about as light as they come for M42. You might consider using a...
Hey this is what kids are for! Stand a child in front of you and plant the elbow of your front arm on the child's shoulder, meanwhile steadying the centre of...
RCB, Ray and Philip, Thanks for the responses. Wow, if the Viv is as light as they come, I can only imagine how much others must weigh! I've been holding the...
Hi Kitty...I've used long lenses for decades. One of the greatest thrills in photography is capturing details in a scene that you can't see visually while at...
(In reply) - The monopods are quite light and collapse down to a portable size to hook on a belt - it's a sensible solution. A tripod is bulkier, and not...
... camera and dry-firing with it, I couldn't help but wonder--how the heck do you guys deal with the weight? I mean, I'm a 115-120 pound asian female with...
I'm only a 135 lb Asian male and I too have small hands. Those big lenses can be a challenge to hold. The older Vivitar's are heavier than the later ones with...
Thanks for the suggestions! I can't wait to try them out when I take the lens for a spin.:) Kitty [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Well, I caught one of the Porst F1.2 50mm lens on eBay yesterday; it was said to have "mint" glass, "mint-" cosmetics, functioning shutter & focus with a $100...

(In reply) - The only practical lens I can think of in that range for M42 is the 105mm f/2.8 Super Tak, or the SMC (if your Fujica does not have screw threads...
FWIW, having used the 105mm SMC Tak and the 100mm EBC Fujinon-T side by side, I don't think there is a huge amount to tell them apart. The Pentax may have a...
-I have owned several 105SMC Takumars and they are fine lenses. I had heard that the 100mm EBC lens was exceptional. Is this not your experience with it? In...
I certainly wouldn't say that the Fuji is much better than the Tak. If there is a appreciable difference then it would be more down to preference. Both are...
