Yahoo is basically inundated with spammers, and I blow them out of the Group as I pick them up, and their posts are deleted. In one instance I found a post and...
It seems to me a no-brainer that people with big 42mm lens collections (who are many) would very likely have an old Leica, Soviet-era, or Viogtlander thread...
(In reply) - My first thought is that there'd be a focusing issue, since the 42mm thread won't fit inside an 39mm throat. Most people today would buy a Pentax...
Hello everyone, Rob from UK here. I just returned from holiday in Morocco with 200+ shots on my digital compact and I'm inspired to take up photography again....
I've long wished for a company to make a bland digital body with a variety of mounts. This was done by Cosina back in the film days. They had cameras with...
Its as I feared. I don't suppose the major manufacturers have any incentive to allow us to use the stuff we've already bought. Rob ... From: dude6473527 To:...
(In reply) - Gillette is the business model - a new razor comes out, but they make money on the blades. The camera makers get their primary profits from sales...
I have a Pentax DSLR. I love it. The lens I normally have on it is a manual focus 50mm f1.8. I do shoot some cool old screw mount lenses now and then, but they...
(In reply) - There's been a lot of discussions, and a variety of adapters: http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00ARDB ... Now and then I have...
(In reply) - I see a bunch of adapter listings on EBay for the Canon FD lenses, most of which include a corrective lens. This one is from Hartblei, whose name...
Hi, I am new to the forum, but have greatly enjoyed all the great info here. I just picked up an ST801 that appears to be in great condition. I took a roll...
I have the same problem on my ST-801. I have measured the shutter times, and they are OK. When I have time, I will take the repair manual and check the circuit...

I just sold almost everything I own so I hope that noone comes up with an answr <smile>. The X mount was unique to Fujifilm. You could get an adapter to mount...
Subject: Fujica Lenses for Digital When it comes to using old lenses on new digital SLR cameras, one very inconvenient thing that I find is that many older M42...
(In reply and trimmed) - I would prefer using preset lenses, since they were built to allow preset of the aperture, and quick stopdown via a large ring in the...
Hello Fujica people: I have just this minute joined the group as a consequence of reading recent posts which prompted me to drag out packets of prints and...
I'm a camera nut not a computer person so I do not know what prevented me from continuing typing. Anyway, I reset and here I am again. To finish of my...
(In reply) - Welcome - what you've not related was the aperture used - I will take a wild guess at f/11.0 or perhaps smaller, but that depends on shutter speed...
I have that Helios lens. It's a great one. I couldn't resist buying it because of the speed. Focusing with it is sublime. It's my favorite fast lens next to an...
A pretty fair guess. It's often quite windy and since I'm too lazy to carry a tripod more than two or three kilometres, I opt for high shutter speeds. So its...
(In reply) - If making judgements when well stopped down, a lot of other characteristics of the lens are entering into it, as the actual difference in...
Hi Phil, I get your point. My approach involves subjectivity not objectivity, I guess. I do have a 55mm f1.8 on my ST801 and bayonet mount 50mm f1.6 & f1.9...
(In reply) - Between my own time requirements, and a cost to shoot film (with film, develop, Photo-CD and contact sheet) hitting $40 a roll, I had planned on...
Hi. I have a very old Fujica AX-3 which I'd like to use for birding. I'm looking for a L-O-N-G lens, but am cofused as to which type of lens it takes. Can some...
