Don't stone me to death, but I have finally decided to let my AX5's go on Ebay. We have one repair shop left in the Pittsburgh area and I have tried for a...
That's too bad because you could replace the seals yourself for the cost of a $10 kit from Jon Goodman and have enough left over to do another twenty cameras,...
Agreed. I ordered the light seal kit from Jon Goodman and it has served me well. With no prior experience I have successfully replaced the seals on 10+...
Well, perhaps I exagerated at twenty. RCB http://rcbooth.zenfolio.com/ ... From: Kelly Jones To: fujica35mmslrs@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2007...
Hi group, It has been a long time since I wrote anything, but I have belonged to this club (is that the right word?) for about 3 years. The reason for my...
(In reply) - Is "Fujica" in there someplace? This reminds me of the old joke about the guy who spoke 17 different languages. Unfortunately, none of them could...
I just started shooting and developing black and white last month, starting with 120 in a Mamiya 645. But that is a bit much to carry around during the work...
Hello all, I am a die-hard old school B&W photographer. But the truth is that the instaneous nature of digital makes a photography series more valid, as it...
... I chose a Pentax digital SLR, because I wanted to shoot with manual-focus lenses. I usually use Kmount, but I have used some of my wonderful screws. I'm...
I have experience only with the Pentax K100D. I've read somewhere about M42 adaptors for Canon EOS, but that's the limit of my knowledge. For the K100D, you...
Thanks a lot for the info. My digital right now is a Kodak c875, or did I already tell you that. It has remarkable color, so lucky shots, still lifes, and...
The human nervous system probably has more lag than a modern DSLR. When you get the dent in a ball due to a human kicking it, you're not starting your finger...
Hello, I am currently trying to repair my ST-801's light meter (it measures 2 stops off) using the article. In this article, there is no top cover removal...
(In reply) - There are two kinds of "lag" at work. One is the time from your finger depressing the shutter to the camera firing, independent of the AF...
Canon also has "predictive focus", that in effect estimates where the point of focus will be, based on what you've shot. That means that the lens is already...
Oooo, I love a debate :) dude writes: human nervous system probably has more lag than a modern DSLR Exactly what do you mean by "human nervous system," or as...
Hello, These SPT articles are "tune up" notes for working techs, containing inspection standards and adjustment procedures, plus unusual features such as...
Hello, That's indeed the standard procedure. The OM-1 has 2 holes to insert a special tool for that. Let's hope that I manage to get it loose after all these...
Hi there fujica geeks ! As it was requested, some news after you helped me to figure out which fujica to buy. I finally found a splendid black st 801,...
Congratulations, Fabrice, you probably bought the best M42 camera (at least in my humble opinion). I'm sure you will enjoy it for years! Best regards Werner---...
I have two very fine SMC Takumars sitting around, not getting used - both are in fine shooting condition, and will grade very high mechanically. Please e-mail...
a). It's sealed auctions through Sunday night - all bids kept private. Sunday night, I will announce the high bid received to date, for each lens. EBay's...
The 120mm SMC comes with original case, metal front cap, and correct plastic rear cap. Skylight filter in front of the glass, and the glass is as clean as any...
The 85mm Auto Takumar f/1.8 comes with original case, metal front cap, and correct plastic rear cap. A skylight filter is in front of the glass, and the glass...
Hi there, now I just processed my first roll on fujica st 801. Great pleasure to use, great pleasure to look at the pics ! Every speed seems OK, and eventually...
(In reply) - Unless you're willing to be patient, and pay up, you're going to have to resort to other M42 lenses like the Takumars. I use a Gossen digital...
I have at least one firm bid for the 120mm SMC - the next bid level would have to be $155, plus my actual ship costs, to take it. For comparison, I know of...
Hi, Fabrice, open aperture metering in deed only works with Fujinon lenses (with one exception). But all the other lenses (like Zeiss Jena, Schneider, Chinon...
(In reply) - That's one too many self-serving photo-related announcements. One more, and you get banned, and your existing posts get removed. I will remove...
